There is yet another book review on Islam by Irshad Manji in the International Herald Tribune. She has become a preferred reviewer on matters Islamic at the New York Times. This is like having David Irving review books on Judaism. Both are ill-qualified on the matter, although Manji--who has no training in Middle East or Islamic studies--is fully capable of saying the word Madrasah, and she pronounces it as follows: Madraaaaaaaaaassssaeeeaoooh.
