Irshad Manji smider nogle tanker op i luften her, men hun bringer dem ikke til landing. Hun udlægger et scenario, hvor hun digter, at imam Rauf er moderat. Hvad kunne der være kommet ud af det? Som læser sidder man tilbage med modspørgsmålet: Og hvad så, når det nu har vist sig, at manden ikke er moderat? Hvor står Manji så i spørgsmålet om ja eller nej til en moskee på Ground Zero? Og det svarer hun ikke på. Irshad Manji lurpasser:
A Muslim Reformer on the Mosque
The warriors for tolerance and the antimosque crusaders are both wrong.
By Irshad Manji
Debates across America over Islamic centers and mosques won’t soon be resolved. But this summer’s hysteria is giving the upper hand to one nefarious force: the culture of offense.
Election-year politics, ratings-hungry media and deep personal fear foment raw emotion. In such an environment, “I’m offended” takes on the stature of a substantive argument. Too many Americans are mistaking feeling for thinking.
Resten må man læse HER i Wall Street Journal.

August 28, 2010 – By Andy McCarthy
As those following the mosque debate may recall, I am an admirer of Irshad Manji, a real Muslim reformer. But I was disappointed in her op-ed in the Wall Street Journal this week, beginning with her above-it-all pronouncement that both the opponents and proponents have it wrong. (After painting the opposition as “antimosque crusaders” and the advocates as “warriors for tolerance,” it’s a bit rich to find Irshad decrying the “bombast” in the debate.)
