Faith Without Fear

Join Irshad Manji on an urgent mission. She seeks to reconcile her faith in Allah with her love of freedom. Inspired by the Quran, Islam's holy book, Irshad calls on her fellow Muslims to stop blaming others and reform themselves. How, she asks, can Muslims change for the 21st century?

In the Middle East, Irshad sits down with a former Bin Laden bodyguard who wants martyrdom for his son. In Europe, she meets ex-Muslim Ayaan Hirsi Ali, whose criticisms of the faith led to the murder of flimmaker Theo Van Gogh by an Islamist extremist. But in the least likely places, Irshad also discovers Islam's own tradition of independent thinking and vibrant debate.

At a time when Islam is often portrayed as brutal, Faith Without Fear offers a cutting-edge look at one of the world's great religions. Irshad Manji is a dissident - yet one who refuses to abandon her faith. This Muslim chooses hope over fear.
