Martin Luther King Jr.’s words are as relevant today as they were 50 years ago. A courageous leader whose vision for equality sparked monumental advances in civil rights, Dr. King adamantly opposed violence in his fight for justice.

Irshad-Manji-On-Free-Speech-And
Irshad Manji on Free Speech and Islam Nigel Warburton: Irshad Manji welcome to Free Speech Bites. Irshad Manji: Thrilled to be here! Nigel Warburton: The topic we are going to focus on is Islam and free expression. Now first off that sounds like two incompatible things. How can you talk about free expression in the context of Islam? Irshad Manji: Well, you know, I’m a person of faith: my faith is Islam. For me free expression is as much a religious obligation as it is a human right. What I mean is this: we Muslims as monotheists are to be worshiping one God - not God’s self-appointed ambassadors, which means no human being can legitimately behave as if he or she owns a monopoly on truth. And what that in turn means is that it is a spiritual duty for Muslims to then help to build societies in which we can disagree with each other in peace and with civility, because anything less means that we are playing God with one another – and that is the central sin in Islam. So, here’s the bottom line, a paradox if you will: devoting yourself to one God obliges you to defend human liberty. Nigel Warburton: That’s not obviously how this is being played out in term of Islam… Irshad Manji: Boy, do I ever know that! Nigel Warburton: So why do so many people go down another route and think that actually there being one God demands that you follow one particular set of rules, one particular view of what that God is like and what it is for that God to be offended? Irshad Manji: There are many reasons for this, and no excuses, but many reasons.

Islam's Pixie Provocateur Talks Allah, Liberty, and Love
September 25, 2011 Islam’s Pixie Provocateur Talks Allah, Liberty, and Love By: Melik Kaylan It’s hard to believe that the bright-eyed figure with the elfin smile, sipping tea at her dining table, can provoke so much odium. One shouldn’t be too specific about where Irshad Manji lives or works. Many of the death threats she’s received claim to monitor her movements. Yet Manji refuses to mute her arguments or slow her pace in her fight to convince Muslims to “drop the groupthink” and follow their consciences as individuals. As director of the Moral Courage Project at New York University, Manji teaches from a score of hefty historical texts about free speech and diversity. If there’s a high likelihood of self-righteousness in such projects, one need only look at the many YouTube videos of Manji’s public appearances to see that she comes across without a hint of vanity, with a transparency so disarming that she seems unaffected by fame or threats—or even her punishing schedule. She lectures frequently and is featured regularly on television with the likes of Christiane Amanpour, Salman Rushdie, and Sir David Frost. She responds to innumerable disputatious emails from her highly interactive website—one that offers, among other things, a downloadable guide for Muslims contemplating interfaith marriage. She manages a Facebook community of 10,000 members, dispensing advice via a council of experts whom she has painstakingly selected. And she has published a new book, Allah, Liberty and Love, a rallying cry to Muslims—especially young ones— around the world to think and talk more freely, one that’s bound to incite great anger among authoritarian Islamists.

50 Bab Iii Lesbi Dan Gay Dalam Perspektif Irshad Manji A
BAB III LESBI DAN GAY DALAM PERSPEKTIF IRSHAD MANJI A. Biografi, karier dan karya Irshad Manji 1. Riwayat hidup Irshad Manji Irshad Manji adalah seorang tokoh perempuan yang produktif dalam hal menulis. Kesibukannya dalam pekerjaan sebagai wartawan dan advokat khususnya dalam hal “reformasi dan progresif” Islam membuat dirinya menjadi perhatian di sejumlah kalangan. Ia lahir di Uganda pada tahun 1968 dari ayah berkebangsaan India Gujarat dan ibunya yang berkebangsaan Mesir. Pada usia 4 tahun Irshad Manji meninggalkan kampung halamannya dan menuju Kanada karena diusir oleh pemerintah saat itu. Di kanada, ia dan keluarganya tinggal didekat Vancouver Kanada pada tahun 1972.1 Di Kanada, Irshad Manji menempuh pendidikan sekuler dan sekolah Islam. Selama menempuh masa pendidikan, kurang lebih dalam waktu duapuluh tahun Irshad Manji mempelajari dan mengasah pengetahuannya tentang agama Islam melalui media perpustakaan dan juga tutor bahasa Arab. Hal ini pula yang membuatnya kritis dalam berbagai persoalan yang berkaitan dengan Islam. Didikan masa kecilnya yang cukup kental dengan kekerasan dan diskriminasi serta pendidikannya yang bersinggungan dengan Islam membuat Irshad Manji menjadi tokoh yang gencar menyuarakan tentang kebebasan dan hak asasi manusia khususnya dalam agama Islam. Selain itu, Irshad Manji juga aktif di salah satu lembaga. Ia adalah direktur Proyek Keberanian Moral di sekolah Robert F. Wagner Pascasarjana Pelayanan Publik di Universitas New York yang mengajarkan para pemimpin muda untuk menantang kebenaran politik, kesesuaian intelektual dan sensor diri. Ia juga merupakan presiden dari Proyek Ijtihad, 1https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irshad_Manji.

Manji's Mission
September 8, 2011 Manji's Mission Far beyond the sound-bite ''Muslim-reformist lesbian,'' Irshad Manji is on a mission to keep all minds open, active and questioning By: Will O'Bryan Irshad Manji has new pieces in her life. There's her new book, Allah, Liberty and Love: The Courage To Reconcile Faith and Freedom. Then there's her new job – new, at least, since her last book, 2004's The Trouble with Islam Today: A Muslim's Call for Reform in Her Faith – as director of the Moral Courage Project at New York University's Wagner School of Public Service. It all fits together nicely. ''When I put the finishing touches on The Trouble with Islam Today, I really had no idea whether I was alone in having these thoughts, or whether there's actually a growing community of reformist Muslims as well,'' Manji, 43, says from New York. What she found was some support. And some expected vitriol, some serious threats. She also found some clarity for moving forward, especially in the aspirations of young Muslims for ''a positive vision of Islam'' who reached out to her for guidance on how reach that vision. ''I thought it was fascinating that for all the communication platforms that we've got right now, very few places exist for both young reformist Muslims and progressive non-Muslims who wish to support the reformists, but are afraid of being Islamaphobes or bigots,'' says Manji. ''There are very few places where they can turn safely for responses to these rather uncomfortable questions.'' This new book, pulling from many of the comments she's received, answers some of those questions.

Genealogy and Epistemology Studies on Irshad Manji
Journal of Islamic Law and Family Studies Vol. 3, No. 2, 2020, h. 37-53 ISSN (Print): 2622-3007, ISSN (Online): 2622-3015 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18860/jifas.v3i2.11380 Available online at http://ejournal.uin-malang.ac.id/index.php/syariah Same-Sex Marriage Legality: Genealogy and Epistemology Studies on Irshad Manji Nur Triyono Pengadilan Agama Cilacap, Indonesia [email protected] Abstract: Generally, marriage legalized for couple consisting of one man and one woman. Whereas, the same-sex marriage is different, because it can legalize same-sex couple. Manji, as one of Muslim thinkers, supports the legality of same-sex marriage. Manji’s re-ijtihad of the existence of homosexuals attracted the researcher to conduct a research with the focus of study: (1) how is the genealogy of Manji’s perspective on the same-sex marriage legality, and (2) how is the epistemology of Manji’s perspective on the same-sex marriage legality? This research is secondary research using genealogical and epistemological approach on Manji. Data sources consisting of references are collected using documentation method, and then analyzed using content analysis method. The results of the study describe that (1) the genealogy started after Manji established her “truth” (with small t) when she was in Queer Television program, along with the external support from Canada that also legalized the same-sex marriage on 2005. While (2) the epistemology based on her personal interpretation of “truth”, that the punishment given to the people of Luth because of “rape” of power and control that exceeds the limit, and not because of homosexual.
