From a Muslim perspective she is changing something to suit her own belief Personally my view knowing that she is a lesbian and educated in the west. Would suggest that she does not consider her orientation has taken her out of the folds of Islam. Who funds her to propagate? Would be useful to know. She certainly doesn't dress modestly to Islamic standards. She isn't trained in Islam by any renowned Islamic scholar if at all. So conclusion is it's just her unguided perspective on what she feels is right or wrong. She also needs to stop mixing culture with religion. Then making out it's a problem with how men treat women.

Reminds me of the colonial era. Forcing Christianity onto nations. We like our women modest. It's purer, it's fast becoming rare and they are decent humans. You don't like it you don't have to worry. You got your own women
In Bosnia muslim women are not forced to wear hijab (headscarf). They cover themselves out their own will. But what they don't do is go around and tell people they are better muslims when they don't wear it (calling themselves thinking reformists). Rather they recognize the fact that hijab is religiously better, more modest, closer to God for women, but they don't have the strength to do it. Her being gay makes this debate so impossible that I can only think of the people of Loot a.s. and will not say anything else.
I agree with you on modesty dressing of women but why Muhammad inserted his penis on a child???? Why men are allowed to open panties of women up to 4 times?? Isn't a woman a sex object in Islam???
@@vanessalozarita4187 1500 years ago marriage was matter of tribal and cultural relations, so throughout christian world also 12 year olds were already getting married. It was much less about sex and more about bearing children and connecting families. Sexual practice would not start until much later. Qur'an says it is better for you to have one wife. 4 wives is allowed because women who have the need for husband but lost theirs in wars, sickness etc, can find such a protector. It was a harsh world back then.

You aRe wHat y0u think i am. Good deeds are not a problem and death is something which Islam obviously doesn’t teach. However as I already said, we believe the Qur’an to be the absolute objective worldview. That means that if you are Muslim you cannot go against gods words. Why? Because god is Omniscient and omnipotent
It is really amazing to see such a civilized dialogue concerning religion and geopolitics. Usually people are ready to rip each other's faces off in such depades.

Irahard Manji is not a Muslim, she is what she is. She doesn't represent Muslims but she represent the West.

Some people believe in something and they want Islam to fit into their belief but it is different in Islam, people are expected to fit into Islam.
As a practicing Muslim, I know that ever single Muslim I am acquainted with would disagree with what you have just said. Islam does not limit, it does not constrict. It is tailored to each individual, because in the end it is all about your INTENTION. You cannot expect people from around the world, who have been sculpted by different life-experiences, to practice the same Islam as you. And the Quran clearly acknowledges that. It saddens me to see these comments. I am proud that we have a lesbian-muslim representation in the community. Allah has created all of us, as we were meant to be. With the activism she is doing to bring out thousands of oppressed voices on the brink of leaving the religion- I think she is better than many oppressive religious scholars who turn people away from it. Please keep an open mind. And remember- only Allah knows what's in her heart. She can be higher in His eyes for helping struggling Muslims, while a religious scholar is turning people away because of
+Faryal Wasti his PERSONAL, narrow-minded interpretation of the Quran. The "West" has muslims too, not just the East. Eastern ideologies would not be logical for Western individuals who have grown under different circumstances. This is an illogical expectation. That is why the Quran is based on intentions, and what is in your heart. Everyone's Islam is not the same, and it never will be! Only Allah knows.
There’s nothing wrong with bida. Shia, Salafi, Ahmediya are all innovations from interpretations yet most Sunni as a human being would accept them in their beliefs. She’s doing the same and these hypocrites criticise them. Lol.
@@crosswalls2754 wait... sunni, salafi, shia are all bid'ah? Well shia originally meant anyone just agreeing that Ali (ra) was more correct for the caliphate than Abu Bakr (ra), but then changed to what it is now. Sunni means someone who adheres to the sunnah (way) of the prophet (SAW). Salafi is a call back to the sunnah by avoiding matters which have been brought INTO the religion (avoiding bid'ah). So a) sunni AND salafi can mean the same thing, they're not two separate groups. And b) they are ways, not changes. Changes are changes to religion.
@@crosswalls2754 also no sunni i know accepts Ahmadiyyah (even Pakistan doesn't, as a nation) as Muslims because they believe in a messenger post-Muhammad SAW.
By Reform be don't innovate , it's an understanding of the Islamic sources/adadeeth/narrations in a different and more detailed and accurate understanding/interpretation of the text. Reform is not changing to the authentic text, rather understand it with/from a different perspective. We understand most of the religion, but there's (ijtihaad in islam), that we are not accurate in, when it comes to understanding the sources through it 100% accurate meaning. On the other : innovation is creating/bringing something into existence which wasn't part of the religion and message originally. May Allah bless
I guess according to the observations and comments Irshad's been busted, I'm surprised anyone except the gay community actually took her seriously in the first place
You know somebody doesnt have a point when they point out something useless. Like asking who the we who the us yada yada. Just answer the simple question
Don't worry NO Muslims take her serious. Also she is openly lesbian and wants to "reform Islam". There is no reform in ISLAM. They keep trying to copy/paste what happened to Christianity to Islam, it will never work. ALL MUSLIMS HAVE 1 BOOK. unlike Christianity with dozens of versions translated from other languages. D Quran is in its original language and unchanged.
There you go with the very same takfir as spouted by the Islamic State, many Salafists and Wahabbists. The orthodox Muslim position is that if someone or some groups says they're Muslim(s), then they're Muslim(s). You might not like their kind of Islam, but to say they are not Muslim is to commit the grievous sin of takfir. "God knows best", they say, and only god knows if someone is a Muslim or not and it is not your right to judge them on that. Though you may judge their behaviour, and condemn it if you think it is wrong, you cannot say they're not Muslims. That's not my view. I don't think there is any god who "knows best", but I'm telling you what all Muslims except the fringe of takfiri nutters and killers SAY. I'm afraid you are not in very exalted company!
DToolsTV What if its original language was Aramaic, there being no other written language in Arabia at the time? The development and use of an Arabic script was beginning in and around Kufa, on the banks of the Euphrates, but that's not in Arabia and not where Islam first emerged. The existence of the Qur'an would certainly have accelerated the development of Arabic script and soon the compression of its forms from the original, rather awkward, elongated, Kufic script to make copies in codex form more practical. It is by no means certain that the Qur'an was first written in Arabic or that an Arabic script -even the Kufic one- was available to anyone in Arabia at the time. As for the content, it certainly appears to have been largely unchanged since Uthman's collection and collation of the various versions (both written and recited) floating around in the mid-650s CE. But what about the previous 20 years or more? Nobody knows. All the fragments of early Qur'ans so far discovered have been of the early post-Uthmanic text. We know nothing of the text / recitation in the period before that.
Martin James: 1- You aren't Muslim. 2- You think you're playing it smart but lemme just tell you straight up (salafi etc...) try harder. 3- Muslims all agree on what's in the Quran all sects differ on minor things (like which position your hands at during prayer etc...) 4- Irshad doesn't follow d Quran, so she isn't Muslim. Not takfiri etc... like for example a person who doesn't believe in Christ can't be called a Christian. Oh nd did I mention she is lesbian lol. Who takes her seriously? NO ONE.
How can she call herself a muslim when she says that the Quran is inspired not divinely authored?!!and how can a lesbian pretend to be a raw model for others when the religion she claims to be a part of both condemn homosexuality and adultery?!and why is she always invited to talk exclusively with people who shares or sympathetic to her opinion, if she really wants to impact muslim she should challenge mainstream well acknowledged well accepted muslim intellectual and not just talk to herself almost.
I can understand why someone looking from the outside think that way. Unfortunately it is the actions of few sick and psychotic people that are hijacking the religion. And rest of the Muslims who are good Muslims need to be a bit more vocal and denounce such actions. As a Muslim we do not have any authority to judge her or anyone that is up to God. Yes I concur God is love and pure. People who kill in the name of God these days they will have to answer to God on judgement day for their crimes. True Islam which unfortunately lot of people are forgetting about and adding their own innovations in it. It forbids killing innocent people, it encourages kindness, love, taking care of each other muslim or non muslim. Nothing these crazy whack jobs who are killing innocent people do is Islamic. Our prophet actually mentioned these people that there will be a time when people who will have Muslim names and they will call themselves Muslims but they will have nothing to do with Islam. Peace and love for all.
folken1761 actually it does matter because these people are hijacking Islam and adding innovation which is wrong. More over they are killing innocent people in the name of Islam which is also wrong. It is because of these fools rest of the world dislikes Islam. There used to be time when people used to praise Islam.
Irshad manji does not represent Islam and she is not a mainstream muslim, she is a lesbian woman who is a daughter of a Indian man and Egyptian mother. Her father threatened her with a knife which caused her to run away from home according to her own statement and she blames Islam for her fathers action not his culture, she has ever since been seeking revenge from Islam and calling it to be reformed gaining fame and wealth and support from western audience. I am a Muslim and am happy with Islam as it is.

I.Manji makes money from public relations. Good work if you can get it, milking a niche media market. In this case, it's "the lovely and hopeful reformist Muslim." It's a soothing and jazzy theme. So contemporary. So edgy yet graceful. However, the tap dance fails to entertain once you examine the Koran. Manji hedges her bet in saying she does not think that the Koran is Allah's (whatever "Allah" is) literal words. That right there makes her not a Muslim, unless anyone can be anything (I'm a time-traveling wombat-whisperer). Unless we admit the Alice in Wonderland notion that words can mean anything you like whenever you want. Her case crumbles. To pay further attention to her crowd-pandering routine is simply to delay treatment of an illness: the faith virus.

She is so hypocritical to the point where we may need to reform the definition of the word hypocritical to intensify the meaning simply to show a fraction of how hypocritical she is.
"Yea, to those who take for allies/friends unbelievers rather than believers: is it honour they seek among them? Nay,- all honour is with God. (The Noble Quran, 4:139)" "So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they encounter that Day of theirs which they have been promised!- (The Noble Quran, 70:42)"
She knows how to truly interpret our religious writings. We must learn from her and from all people of varying opinions She is asking humanity to raise their consciousness She has Faith, not dogma
Ok. Let me sum up. She says she believes the Quran is divinely *inspired* but not divinely authored. Which is a belief I don't have but can respect (on the other hand I consider delusional the traditional belief that the Quran is God's word). She rejects Islamic teachings as human constructs. She says there are *some* core values in the Quran that are important and helpful to people, again showing she doesn't believe all the Quran. What are these values?? Knowing a bit the Quran I'd say it's respecting life (of humans AND animals), not answering evil by evil, striving for knowledge, etc. Which I agree are good values. But why on earth would someone need religion to have this sort of ethics?? And why would someone think these values were divinely inspired?? Tons of thinkers BEFORE Muhammad said such things. Would she consider them divinely inspired too? Then what would make the Quran special? I think it's great that she tries to free Muslims from a really tight dogma. But if, as it seems to be the case, she believes in universal values but not questionable specifics like for instance drinking alcohol is a sin, a couple having sex before marriage is a sin, homosexuality is a sin... Then what's the point in considering herself a Muslim?? And, well, who is she to say "this part was divinely inspired - that part was not"? Words mean something and "Muslim" means believing the Quran is some sort of celestial fax. She does not believe in that. It's a delusion to say she is a Muslim. She doesn't get to reinvent the word. She believes in some stuff related to Islam. She has a "personal religion". Wouldn't it make more sense to say the Quran is an ancient text that contains some interesting verses, and to leave it at that? To maybe practice some Muslim rituals simply as a cultural thing or a way to connect to the divine but not as something demanded by God? To just discard all talks of divinely inspired stuff - because people will always disagree on what's divinely inspired or not and nobody can prove if some texts are? (Also on a side note I found her condescending in the beginning when she corrected the rabbi on semantics (we/us...).)
The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely - quran 8:2 she cant be a muslim if she wants to disobey bits of the quran which is obvious to everyone. islam does not need to be reformed, it needs to be abandomed... but i respect her trying to de-radicalize people.. she's probably a monotheist and thinks shes protecting herself by calling herself a muslim ...
***** "Knowing a bit the Quran...." ...." I consider DELUSIONAL the traditional belief that the Quran is God's word". Hm! As for " But why on earth would someone need religion to have this sort of ethics?? ", do you know that the !Kung tribesman of the Kalahari consider a person "good" if he has a full stomach and a person "bad" if he is hungry .
You are either a Muslim and you want to impact the Muslim communities with the aspects and arguments through these discussions or you don't cause by generalising Muslims like the way she does not only she will contribute anything to lessen the problems but she will add up to them. I think she is just benefiting from all this by being a neutral person which will make it hard for pretty much any scholar or any ideologist to debate or convince her.
Great Irshad & Sincere ! Even I dont understand your need to tied and please to Isreal and Sionists (with bad wishes for world muslims). From an AWARE AFRICAN MUSLIM
+Sabah Razak because the Qu'ran is a book written by man 1400 years ago and she's smart enough to look at it with a distance. Actually she's even more Muslim than many people since she perpetuates the very Islamic culture of free thinking and debating theology and scriptures in Islam. Like many Muslim intellectuals before her throughout history. Her and other progressive Muslim are the future of this religion.
Fairly debatable point of view since ISIL is supposedly following the very word of the book. You said it yourself, submission to Allah, therefore faith and the personal experience with your Creator is undoubtedly more important than the blind following of a controversial, political, non-coherent book that made sense at the time it was written but not anymore. See, many muslims disconnect their lives from the most violent Islamic teachings and arab tribalistic behavior in order to fit in a basic ideal of human rights or to live in a secular society.She is a legitimate muslim.
lmao thats a really good question and she just simply sarcasticly counter questions it and brushes it off, she doesnt believe that you have to accept prphet muhammad (pbuh)as a prophet, when the basic first step to enter into islam is the shahada which is the acceptence of prophet muhammad (pbuh) as the last messenger.
It’s ridiculous that Dr.Naif (which taught me in my faculty in Kuwait) is up there representing Islam as a “Reformist of Islam” when there is a total disconnect between him & the Kuwaiti community, a Muslim Arab community which we both come from
religion is based on authority. This woman is not an authority to muslims, she can say she is a reformist but she is a muslim refomist as an atheist is a christian reformist and the more she defends that position the more she is missing the point (in my humble opinion). Inteligent people begin to tapdance when they try to reconcile faith with reason. Sure only god can decide if you are a real muslim but why don't u humor us and answer the question assuming we don't believe in god

I'm from singapore. And i'm proud to be singaporean and also a muslim. Muslim makes 28% of the total population of 3 million in our country. We have chinese traditional religion, buddist, christians and hindus living together in harmony since the british came and colonised our country in 1819. Islam was introduce to our land around 300 years ago by muslim traders while the natives were practically hindus and people with ancestral religion. The regional kings were hindus at the time. They and their subjects converted to islam without any single war or bloodshed. Today, even living in a multi religious and ethnic groups, we all got along harmoniously and respectfully with each other.

To be honest as a practicing Muslim I also don't believe her to be a Muslim. Because as I have experienced so far Islam is already prestine it doesn't need reformation.
I have recently discovered this woman and I LOVE the work she is doing. Islam has been devoid of reformists, or, as she has pointed out, they have been too scared to come out in the open. The field has been ESPECIALLY devoid of reformist women and this iron lady is paving way for more voices to come out of the closet through her dauntlessness. More power to her! Hurray!
Islam has never been devoid of reformists. There are plenty plenty of scholars who were killed or sentenced to jail because the wanted to reform Islam BACK to its roots. I highly doubt that this gay woman has anything to do with reforming anything.

Qur'an says it is better for you to have one wife. 4 wives is allowed because women who have the need for husband but lost theirs in wars, sickness etc, can find such a protector. It was a harsh world back then.

***** Right!?
that's disgusting
you right..
As a practicing Muslim, I know that ever single Muslim I am acquainted with would disagree with what you have just said. Islam does not limit, it does not constrict. It is tailored to each individual, because in the end it is all about your INTENTION. You cannot expect people from around the world, who have been sculpted by different life-experiences, to practice the same Islam as you. And the Quran clearly acknowledges that. It saddens me to see these comments. I am proud that we have a lesbian-muslim representation in the community. Allah has created all of us, as we were meant to be. With the activism she is doing to bring out thousands of oppressed voices on the brink of leaving the religion- I think she is better than many oppressive religious scholars who turn people away from it. Please keep an open mind. And remember- only Allah knows what's in her heart. She can be higher in His eyes for helping struggling Muslims, while a religious scholar is turning people away because of
+Faryal Wasti his PERSONAL, narrow-minded interpretation of the Quran. The "West" has muslims too, not just the East. Eastern ideologies would not be logical for Western individuals who have grown under different circumstances. This is an illogical expectation. That is why the Quran is based on intentions, and what is in your heart. Everyone's Islam is not the same, and it never will be! Only Allah knows.
Reform= bid'a ( innovation)
There’s nothing wrong with bida. Shia, Salafi, Ahmediya are all innovations from interpretations yet most Sunni as a human being would accept them in their beliefs. She’s doing the same and these hypocrites criticise them. Lol.
@@crosswalls2754 wait... sunni, salafi, shia are all bid'ah? Well shia originally meant anyone just agreeing that Ali (ra) was more correct for the caliphate than Abu Bakr (ra), but then changed to what it is now. Sunni means someone who adheres to the sunnah (way) of the prophet (SAW). Salafi is a call back to the sunnah by avoiding matters which have been brought INTO the religion (avoiding bid'ah). So a) sunni AND salafi can mean the same thing, they're not two separate groups. And b) they are ways, not changes. Changes are changes to religion.
@@crosswalls2754 also no sunni i know accepts Ahmadiyyah (even Pakistan doesn't, as a nation) as Muslims because they believe in a messenger post-Muhammad SAW.
By Reform be don't innovate , it's an understanding of the Islamic sources/adadeeth/narrations in a different and more detailed and accurate understanding/interpretation of the text. Reform is not changing to the authentic text, rather understand it with/from a different perspective.
We understand most of the religion, but there's (ijtihaad in islam), that we are not accurate in, when it comes to understanding the sources through it 100% accurate meaning.
On the other : innovation is creating/bringing something into existence which wasn't part of the religion and message originally.
May Allah bless
She clearly isn't Muslim if she doesn't believe in the Quran.
And why shuld it matter? And why shuld it grow?

You know somebody doesnt have a point when they point out something useless. Like asking who the we who the us yada yada. Just answer the simple question
She's being dishonest. She's not a muslim.
Who the fuck are you to say what she is!
Don't worry NO Muslims take her serious. Also she is openly lesbian and wants to "reform Islam". There is no reform in ISLAM. They keep trying to copy/paste what happened to Christianity to Islam, it will never work. ALL MUSLIMS HAVE 1 BOOK. unlike Christianity with dozens of versions translated from other languages. D Quran is in its original language and unchanged.
There you go with the very same takfir as spouted by the Islamic State, many Salafists and Wahabbists. The orthodox Muslim position is that if someone or some groups says they're Muslim(s), then they're Muslim(s). You might not like their kind of Islam, but to say they are not Muslim is to commit the grievous sin of takfir. "God knows best", they say, and only god knows if someone is a Muslim or not and it is not your right to judge them on that. Though you may judge their behaviour, and condemn it if you think it is wrong, you cannot say they're not Muslims.
That's not my view. I don't think there is any god who "knows best", but I'm telling you what all Muslims except the fringe of takfiri nutters and killers SAY. I'm afraid you are not in very exalted company!
DToolsTV
What if its original language was Aramaic, there being no other written language in Arabia at the time? The development and use of an Arabic script was beginning in and around Kufa, on the banks of the Euphrates, but that's not in Arabia and not where Islam first emerged. The existence of the Qur'an would certainly have accelerated the development of Arabic script and soon the compression of its forms from the original, rather awkward, elongated, Kufic script to make copies in codex form more practical.
It is by no means certain that the Qur'an was first written in Arabic or that an Arabic script -even the Kufic one- was available to anyone in Arabia at the time.
As for the content, it certainly appears to have been largely unchanged since Uthman's collection and collation of the various versions (both written and recited) floating around in the mid-650s CE. But what about the previous 20 years or more? Nobody knows. All the fragments of early Qur'ans so far discovered have been of the early post-Uthmanic text. We know nothing of the text / recitation in the period before that.
Martin James:
1- You aren't Muslim.
2- You think you're playing it smart but lemme just tell you straight up (salafi etc...) try harder.
3- Muslims all agree on what's in the Quran all sects differ on minor things (like which position your hands at during prayer etc...)
4- Irshad doesn't follow d Quran, so she isn't Muslim. Not takfiri etc... like for example a person who doesn't believe in Christ can't be called a Christian. Oh nd did I mention she is lesbian lol. Who takes her seriously? NO ONE.
How can she call herself a muslim when she says that the Quran is inspired not divinely authored?!!and how can a lesbian pretend to be a raw model for others when the religion she claims to be a part of both condemn homosexuality and adultery?!and why is she always invited to talk exclusively with people who shares or sympathetic to her opinion, if she really wants to impact muslim she should challenge mainstream well acknowledged well accepted muslim intellectual and not just talk to herself almost.

I can understand why someone looking from the outside think that way.
Unfortunately it is the actions of few sick and psychotic people that
are hijacking the religion. And rest of the Muslims who are good
Muslims need to be a bit more vocal and denounce such actions. As a
Muslim we do not have any authority to judge her or anyone that is up to
God. Yes I concur God is love and pure. People who kill in the name
of God these days they will have to answer to God on judgement day for
their crimes. True Islam which unfortunately lot of people are
forgetting about and adding their own innovations in it. It forbids
killing innocent people, it encourages kindness, love, taking care of
each other muslim or non muslim. Nothing these crazy whack jobs who are
killing innocent people do is Islamic. Our prophet actually mentioned
these people that there will be a time when people who will have Muslim
names and they will call themselves Muslims but they will have nothing
to do with Islam. Peace and love for all.
every country and nation on this planet at some point was in a war so what?!so the causality here kinda doesn't make any sense.
folken1761 actually it does matter because these people are hijacking Islam and adding innovation which is wrong. More over they are killing innocent people in the name of Islam which is also wrong. It is because of these fools rest of the world dislikes Islam. There used to be time when people used to praise Islam.

Unless we admit the Alice in Wonderland notion that words can mean anything you like whenever you want. Her case crumbles.

"Yea, to those who take for allies/friends unbelievers rather than believers: is it honour they seek among them? Nay,- all honour is with God. (The Noble Quran, 4:139)"

Role model ! I am sure you can never be a role model. You can be a part time model in a fashion show but not a role model for sure Ma’am
She knows how to truly interpret our religious writings. We must learn from her and from all people of varying opinions
She is asking humanity to raise their consciousness
She has Faith, not dogma
"Our" religious writings? Who are you talking about? Cause it isn't Muslims, that's for sure.
The rabbi is right.
What Irshad does is pick and choose and the result is some kind of patchwork religion.
Ok. Let me sum up.
She says she believes the Quran is divinely *inspired* but not divinely authored. Which is a belief I don't have but can respect (on the other hand I consider delusional the traditional belief that the Quran is God's word).
She rejects Islamic teachings as human constructs.
She says there are *some* core values in the Quran that are important and helpful to people, again showing she doesn't believe all the Quran.
What are these values?? Knowing a bit the Quran I'd say it's respecting life (of humans AND animals), not answering evil by evil, striving for knowledge, etc.
Which I agree are good values.
But why on earth would someone need religion to have this sort of ethics??
And why would someone think these values were divinely inspired?? Tons of thinkers BEFORE Muhammad said such things. Would she consider them divinely inspired too? Then what would make the Quran special?
I think it's great that she tries to free Muslims from a really tight dogma. But if, as it seems to be the case, she believes in universal values but not questionable specifics like for instance drinking alcohol is a sin, a couple having sex before marriage is a sin, homosexuality is a sin... Then what's the point in considering herself a Muslim?? And, well, who is she to say "this part was divinely inspired - that part was not"?
Words mean something and "Muslim" means believing the Quran is some sort of celestial fax. She does not believe in that. It's a delusion to say she is a Muslim. She doesn't get to reinvent the word. She believes in some stuff related to Islam. She has a "personal religion".
Wouldn't it make more sense to say the Quran is an ancient text that contains some interesting verses, and to leave it at that? To maybe practice some Muslim rituals simply as a cultural thing or a way to connect to the divine but not as something demanded by God? To just discard all talks of divinely inspired stuff - because people will always disagree on what's divinely inspired or not and nobody can prove if some texts are?
(Also on a side note I found her condescending in the beginning when she corrected the rabbi on semantics (we/us...).)
The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely - quran 8:2 she cant be a muslim if she wants to disobey bits of the quran which is obvious to everyone. islam does not need to be reformed, it needs to be abandomed... but i respect her trying to de-radicalize people.. she's probably a monotheist and thinks shes protecting herself by calling herself a muslim ...
You nailed it. Beautiful summation. Thank you.
who?
Ayra. Not you. But I agree with you too.
***** "Knowing a bit the Quran...." ...." I consider DELUSIONAL the traditional belief that the Quran is God's word". Hm! As for " But why on earth would someone need religion to have this sort of ethics?? ", do you know that the !Kung tribesman of the Kalahari consider a person "good" if he has a full stomach and a person "bad" if he is hungry .
I think and feel that Irshad Mandji IS a Muslim. She just have a lack of faith on some of the traditional interpretation and belief, which is fine.
You are either a Muslim and you want to impact the Muslim communities with the aspects and arguments through these discussions or you don't cause by generalising Muslims like the way she does not only she will contribute anything to lessen the problems but she will add up to them. I think she is just benefiting from all this by being a neutral person which will make it hard for pretty much any scholar or any ideologist to debate or convince her.
If a man questioned your status , don' t you think The God may said so too.

how can you call yourself a Muslim and deny the Qur'an
+Sabah Razak because the Qu'ran is a book written by man 1400 years ago and she's smart enough to look at it with a distance. Actually she's even more Muslim than many people since she perpetuates the very Islamic culture of free thinking and debating theology and scriptures in Islam. Like many Muslim intellectuals before her throughout history. Her and other progressive Muslim are the future of this religion.
The meaning of Muslim means 100% submission to Allah. He is the Author of the Holy Qu'ran.
Fairly debatable point of view since ISIL is supposedly following the very word of the book. You said it yourself, submission to Allah, therefore faith and the personal experience with your Creator is undoubtedly more important than the blind following of a controversial, political, non-coherent book that made sense at the time it was written but not anymore. See, many muslims disconnect their lives from the most violent Islamic teachings and arab tribalistic behavior in order to fit in a basic ideal of human rights or to live in a secular society.She is a legitimate muslim.
+Max Are you a legitimate muslim??

lmao thats a really good question and she just simply sarcasticly counter questions it and brushes it off, she doesnt believe that you have to accept prphet muhammad (pbuh)as a prophet, when the basic first step to enter into islam is the shahada which is the acceptence of prophet muhammad (pbuh) as the last messenger.

Again. Not one single information from Irshad.
I feel sick listening to her
at the start the rabbi asked good question because i am a Muslim and i do not support this women and i do not consider her as a muslim
Giving yourself the authority to decide who is and isn't a proper muslim is an argument that goes absolutely nowhere and can only lead to totalitarian thought. The only acceptable approach is to let people define themselves.
Are you afraid of her? Isa that why you don't support her??
Art Visuals I hope someday people will stop with this crap of the islamic golden age. if anything it was the middle east golden age ended by the muslim expansion
***** the expansion of islam facilitate the communication and trade between peoples previously separated by opposing empires. however this was totally unintentional and as you say many times the local population was "displaced" (or in others words massacred) by muslims this new muslims land become home to many arabs scientist fleeing the suffocating influence of muslim rulers thus the "unprecedented surge in science", once islam's power stood unopposed any trace of independent thought was erased through the "judicial systems", leading to what is today the lamentable state of science in the muslim world
this is what should be teached in school about islam. not the five pilar, not the shahada, not the night journey or any of that crap
Yes I concur. Islam is anti pluralistic. Islam does not allow free minds to exist, and no independent thinking is allowed what so ever. So science is not possible in islam. To be in islam means *to be in submission, physically and mentally* .
Wonderful work, Irshad Manji.
What on earth do you know. Look upon her face.
There is nothing Muslim about this woman or about her ideas. She is describing a whole new religion not a reformation.
IRSHAD
I AM SO HAPPY THAT THERE ARE MUSLIMS LIKE YOU. I AM AN AGNOSTIC IRISHMAN WHO WAS BROUGHT UP CATHOLIC. I HAVE EXPERIENCED CATHOLIC AND PROTESTANT BIGOTRY IN IRELAND. IF THERE IS A GOD I EXCEPT GOD TO LOVE ALL MANKIND IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR RELIGION
The holy Quran will never change. I mean there will be no new testment
It already has been
@irshad: I don't really follow what you mean by Divinely inspired, not Divinely authored? What do you mean history tells us?
I would really like to know your point of view, as you sound like a logical person, before writing you off as another Agent of Anarchy in Islam.
History tells she is a gay not much. Hahaha
I swear that comment pissed me off. Allah clearly tells in the book, that this is his sent Holy Book for us (as a means of mercy and guidance). It is the most closest thing we have to God's word. Allah even said clearly that he will protect HIS book. GOSH!! I hate people like her. There are people who want Islam to have an in-between when it isn't convenient for them. That's why people like this lady come. The difference between us muslim and any other religion is, WE TRULY 100% SUBMIT OURSELVES TO THE WILL OF GOD. This is what makes us special. But people like this Irshad or whatever, wants to balance Islam according to her lifestyle. God already balance everything. The messenger of Allah did their job. Islam and Quran is a blessing and good tiding news for the Believers, and a warning and heed for the unbelievers. Did she truly submit herself to the will of God? Only Allah knows honestly. May God forgive her and us and our Muslim ummah. Ameen.
woww irshan manji, just go to ur own words. u r not sound a muslim, not at all
I'm from singapore. And i'm proud to be singaporean and also a muslim. Muslim makes 28% of the total population of 3 million in our country. We have chinese traditional religion, buddist, christians and hindus living together in harmony since the british came and colonised our country in 1819. Islam was introduce to our land around 300 years ago by muslim traders while the natives were practically hindus and people with ancestral religion. The regional kings were hindus at the time. They and their subjects converted to islam without any single war or bloodshed. Today, even living in a multi religious and ethnic groups, we all got along harmoniously and respectfully with each other. I think if the world would like to find a solution of how to live peacefully, i suggest they can look at singapore and learn from us. Seriously.
To be honest as a practicing Muslim I also don't believe her to be a Muslim. Because as I have experienced so far Islam is already prestine it doesn't need reformation.
I have recently discovered this woman and I LOVE the work she is doing. Islam has been devoid of reformists, or, as she has pointed out, they have been too scared to come out in the open. The field has been ESPECIALLY devoid of reformist women and this iron lady is paving way for more voices to come out of the closet through her dauntlessness. More power to her! Hurray!
qqthe way I can see you don't look like Muslim women off ur atire
Islam has never been devoid of reformists. There are plenty plenty of scholars who were killed or sentenced to jail because the wanted to reform Islam BACK to its roots. I highly doubt that this gay woman has anything to do with reforming anything.
Katie hopkin must be jealous watching her speak.
Irshad knows who and what is getting attention these days. She does not represent me.
This video uploaded 6 years ago.... and u have only 18k subscribers! So u can guess what u have in ur bag!
Simple answer: No
Complicated answer: Fuck no
Irshad . . You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
🐖 🐷 🐽 🥓.
It's so nice to see a thoughtful, witty discussion on such a difficult subject.
she is a lesbian? then how in her confuse mind she thinks she is a devout muslim. she talks as if her version is the official one.
+Moises Perez funny isnt it
Moses working : she is male
Moses working : she is male..carrying cock all thr way
Moses working @ She is a person. Does it matter to you whom she has sex with . I’m sure you are a homosexual in the closet . Hey but I don’t care !!
@@l.berisha3176 but care to label anyone. Hmmmmm
Mr. Rabbi, the answer to your question is most frequently: no
The day of judgement is close, and that woman is a sign of that!
daaaaaamn.... hate to say that but .... daaaamn... she owned this guy
Hijab WEAKLY she really didn't...she carried her words, effectively making her seem like she has a point but in actuality she's got fuck all.
This is known as double talk....
She contradicts her own statement so others won't 🤣🤣
Interesting personalities.
Best comment.
Irsyad Manji IS NOT A MUSLIM....
Please take note guysss....😋
You don't present Muslim not me for sure
Confused as to why you bother to be a follower of the Islamic faith; that said, you are so smart, knowledgable, and beautiful (in spirit), you've got my vote!
She is a Muslim as much as a Pope
sergio blazic To me...!!! Maybe Pope is a little bit realistic but come to talk of 'Irshad' and her so-called belief are more or less "Skeptical".
irshad is only one muslim women around the world that can head of fight to exist for explaining her real religion of islam..she exactly false to explain to all none muslim in the around the world
The classic “Only God can judge me”. Honey we don’t have such thing in Islam.
There have been many like her over the past 1400 years, Islam still maintains its authenticity and purity. I don't think she ever read the Quran.
