Salaam Alaikum!

I must regret to inform you that I have read Manji's presumptuous and ostentatious book. I'm going tonight to see her at a conference as well. I wrote a harsh but needed review of the book at this site...

http://writers.oneummah.net/

The title of my review is "Use and Abuse of Fame: A Review of Irshad Manji's Daring Book" by Knowledge123

As I say in the review, her book is all strut and no substance! It’s sad and rather disappointing that many political and academic pundits swallow the work as if it's something completely novel.

As u all know anything that is against Islam.........these days r welcomed with opened arms & welcomed..............on the other hand anything that reveals the dirty USA politics etc comes under too much criticism to make it to public ! [Image: sad.gif]

Some ppl have problem with Islam, so be it.......... ! They also know in their hearts WHAT is right & they r doing wrong ! but as Quran also says that the world is too much glitter & attractive to some people [Image: sad.gif]

To be audaciously insolent about it, her book represents an "aura of authenticy" in the academia. It was served up to those with minimal or no knowledge of Islam; essentially food for NO thought.

I employed "aura of authenticity" as a metaphor for ambivalence and subterfuge. I borrowed it from Walter Benjamin's essay, "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction".
