Irshad Manji on 60 Minutes

Irshad Manji, a self-described "Muslim refusenik", speaks with 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon about Islamic reform, her new partnership with former terrorist Hassan Butt and Ijtihad (pronounced â€œij-tee-hadâ€), Islamâ€™s tradition of independent thinking. For more 60 Minutes coverage of former terrorist Hassan Butt, see here.

Irshad Manji is a rare voice calling for reform from within Islam. The New York Times has dubbed her â€œOsama Bin Ladenâ€™s worst nightmareâ€, which she takes as a compliment.

3 Nice to hear a new voice on the hopes of moderating Islam, but she has got to told quit shaking her head in the "no, no, no" manner when she speaks.
Sit still, hold your head still and she will have more gravitas.

4 Someone once told me that she's a lesbian muslim leftist activist living in Canada.
The mind boggles.
