Synopsis

n Faith Without Fear we join Irshad Manji, best-selling author of The Trouble With Islam Today, on a journey to reconcile her faith in Allah with her love of freedom.

Faith Without Fear travels the globe, offering a complex inquiry into one of the world's great religions - from the perspective of a woman who is dissenting, yet deeply engaged with her faith.

Once described by The New York Times as "Osama bin Laden's worst nightmare," Manji travelled throughout Europe, the Middle East and North America speaking out against injustice and violence taking place under the banner of Islam.

Inspired by Islam's holy book, the Qur'an, Manji seeks answers from the Muslim community on how this religion of justice and freedom has become an ideology of fear, and challenges believers to stand up for Islam's fundamental principles. She refers back to ijtihad, the ancient Muslim tradition of independent thinking, and encourages Muslims of the 21st century to embrace this practice.
