I saw a documentary about Irshad Manji on PBS a few years ago, and was awestruck by her. One of the bravest women I have ever seen. She gets regular death threats, her home has bullet proof glass, and they couldn't show the exterior of it during the documentary because the fear of retaliation against her is so great. I can't wait to read her book. It's on my list. Thanks for highlighting this amazing (s)hero.
