Irshad Manji’s Controversial Message

This refers to an article ‘Irshad Manjil’s Controversial Message’ by Dr. S Amjad Hussain in your issue of November 26, 2004.

When the book entitled "The Trouble with Islam" was published and Ms Manji was under the spotlight – she appeared in various TV programs - I sent her an e-mail which is reproduced below. She replied to me that she would soon send a comprehensive reply but I have not received her comprehensive reply even after 10 months. In the meantime, I have sent reminders to her.

(1) You claim to be a Muslim but your name contains "Manji" which is the Buddhist Swastika or symbol of the Nazi Party of Germany, called Hakenkreuz in the German language. A Muslim would never like to have such a symbol in his/her name. (In fact no Muslim has it.)

(2) You have confirmed that you are a homosexual. Homosexuality is forbidden not only in Islam but also in Christianity and Judaism. This means you are neither a Muslim, nor a Christian, nor a Jew.

(3) The people who are supporting you will make you fall on your head when they are done with you.
