Manji, incidentally, is a lesbian and, perhaps more controversially, a Canadian. She’s also the author of a brilliant book: “The Trouble With Islam Today: A Muslim’s Call for Reform in Her Faith.” If you haven’t read it, go buy it . It’s interesting that so many homos-I’m thinking Bruce Bawer, Pym Fortyun, Manji, and, yes, Andrew Sullivan-clearly recognize the threat that the Islamo-fascists represent. (Or thought, in Fortyun’s case.) Too bad so many on the American right just can’t get over their homo hatin’ ways. The freedom gays and lesbians enjoy in our societies is a credit to the west, and the eloquence of people like Manji, Bawer, and Sullivan should be marshaled in defense of our shared values.
