Your making her a liberal why?
[/ QUOTE ]
My impression is that she is a Western Muslim, interested in women's rights, educated, young, progressive, lesbian (and she produced and hosted "Queer Television" on Toronto's CityTV), politically interested and active, optimistic, concerned, cheerful.
I once watched her on TV discussing Islam on stage, and she referenced Chomsky at one point, then later asked if it might be possible for Islam to be reformed or saved.
Overall, I have a very positive (though limited) impression of her.
A quote about Irshad:
Andrew Sullivan, journalist who reviewed Irshad’s book for the New York Times and concluded: “If we survive this current war without unthinkable casualties, it will be because Irshad Manji’s kind of liberalism didn’t lose its nerve.”
