Says Jack Fertig on MuslimGayMen:

“Irshad Manji raises a lot of necessary questions — telling the truth, often, yes. ‘Only telling the truth’? Far from it. She only tells as much of the truth as is convenient for her. She is very much a self-promoter who ignores the work of others. She is dishonest in her deliberate ignorance of people and organizations that have been brought to her attention.

“At the heart of her “progressivism” is unfailing, uncritical, and again, dishonest support of Israel. Her Zionism has earned her the support of the Canadian news empire run by neo-con Zionist Conrad Black. Her speaking tours are supported and heavily attended by Zionist groups.

“When I went to a luncheon at the local GLBT Community Center where she spoke the crowd was largely Jewish and I recognized a number of officials from local Zionist organizations. When she was asked about queer activism, feminism and human rights activism she answered entirely about herself, promoting herself as THE lone pioneering figure… never mind al-Fatiha, the various feminist Muslim groups and efforts, the PMU or MCC, Tariq Ramadan, etc…. Rather than discussing honestly the diversity and efforts within the Ummah, she just promoted herself as the savior of Islam to non-Muslims who couldn’t be expected to know any better.

“The reasonable questions that she does ask, the issues that she does raise, are pretty self-evident and are raised by many others who lack her media connections and promotion. They are also dealt with much more honestly by others who are really more interested in finding answers and less with their own media connections and promotion.”

As if we didn’t know!!
