The Trouble with Islam Today: A Muslim's Call for Reform in Her Faith by Irshad Manji

5.0

This woman write everything that I've thought since conversion. She picks apart all the stubborn deep-set flaws of Islam and point out where there is room to grow and improve. Without this book I would never have learned about the concept of ijtihad, the individual reading and interpreting of the Qu'ran, finding one's own truth rather than listening to the opinions that have been repeated for centuries and taken as truth. This book took all the flaws that bothered me and listed how they can be changed, that Islam as a whole does not need to bow to the iron whims of the current literal and unbending interpretations that currently hobble it.
