I couldn't even give this a star, but had to since 0 stars is not an option. Manji is typical of the counterfeit type of scholarship so common in our age that tries to integrate observations in a slanted and maligning way. After productions such as this, I can understand how in ages before, educated classes were against allowing the written word to be learned by those who had no intellectual skills; To those who read this book, please do not be fooled. Ms. Manji is not at all considered learned in any branch of Islamic study, and the half-baked information and slanted conclusions she makes any fourth grader can make. This book is mostly a sophisticated and literate deployment of shallowness and disintelligence.
