I've been thinking that I should do more to learn about all this stuff so I'm going to start reading. I flew to Canada and back recently, so picked up something at the airport to kick off - "The Trouble with Islam Today: A Wake-up call for Honesty and Change" by Irshad Manji. It's in the form of an open letter to her fellow Muslims. I'm finding it very interesting. Like any book, it's probably very slanted, and I think she's tending to ramble in bits, but I'm glad I started with her. I have a few others lined up, but I think than some Catters might find this an interesting read with some ... challenging?... ideas.
