My latest column about Gaza…
Posted in Irshaddering Thoughts on Jan 09, 2009
… is generating more than the usual reaction. A small sample of the comments that have flooded my inbox:
* “… all I can say is Fuck You… I’m ashamed that you’re a Canadian.”- Stephen MacEwen
* “… of all the people in this world I think you are my greatest hero.” - Gil Johnson
* “You truly are a sick embarrassment to women, lesbians, Muslims and jew-tools.” - Anonymous
* “We need more people like Irshad Manji, who question the unfamiliar, break taboos, and discuss illogical interpretations in any religion.” - Mohamad Jukhadar
* “Thank you for continuing to be a shining light for all intelligent women out there, and for all conscious people who choose not to be sheep.” - S. Natasha Young
* “Are you inured to the murdering/suffering taking place? How does your writing show courage?” - Regina Bueno Renke
* “If more people could be as courageous and honest as you are, we might be closer to peace.” - Monsignor Peter Schonenbach
* “Thank you for asking the right questions.” - Mary Jo Rotheker
Here’s the column they’re debating.
PS: This Saturday and Sunday night, I’ll be on CNN’s new variety program, “D.L. Hughley Breaks the News” (10-11 pm Eastern) to discuss Gaza.
