Anyone know who the Muslim woman was on Christiane's show this week?

[dkf]

She was making the point that Muslims need to show Islam as a modern religion and show Americans what Islam is all about.

All I can say is wow she really impressed me with her enthusiasm and passion and I love what she is trying to do.

1. Her name is Irshad Manji

Here's some bio:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irshad_Manji

From that source: "Manji was awarded Oprah Winfrey's first annual Chutzpah Award for "audacity, nerve, boldness and conviction." Ms. Magazine named her a "Feminist for the 21st Century," and Immigration Equality gave her its Global Vision Prize. In 2006, The World Economic Forum selected her as a Young Global Leader. She has also been named a Muslim Leader of Tomorrow by the American Society for Muslim Advancement."

She impressed me, too.
