Re: Irshad Manji
People ,,,,,,,
You have discussed this issue at least 10 different times on this website ever time the same points come up
1. She was never Muslim to begin with (in the conventional sense)......... Her family is Ismaili and the Ismaili community has banished her.
2. She works for the Global Media Network in Canada. The Global Network is owned by the family of ISREAL Asper, an extremist Zionist Jew who has a wing of a University named after him in Israeli Occupied Jerusalem. His papers have published overtly anti-Palestinian\Arab opinion pieces in the past that have caused quite an uproar from human rights\free press types.
She is essentially a paid media whore that is used by Global to sponsor opinions created at higher levels. Being of Ismaili African origin she has no relation to mainstream Islam that a regular non-Muslim wouldn’t have. She has absolutely no “insider” perspective, contrary to her gimmick. Grew up in Canada, parents came from a non-Muslim part of Africa (Uganda or Tanzania I think)
I say this with absolutely no bias because she has every right to say what she wishes this is a democratic free society. We in turn have every right to completely ignore her after recognizing that she is a intellectual whore (should I say pseudo-intellectual?) with absolutely no ideas or opinions of her own. To say the least she’s old news in Canada. She’s been doing the University circuit for years with less than a handful of people showing up at her talks.
