"In these essays, Sheema Khan - Canadian hockey mom and Harvard PhD - gives us her insights on being a modern and liberal, yet practising, Muslim, especially in Canada. Tackling a host of issues, such as terrorism and fanaticism, human rights post 9/11, Islamic law, women's rights, sharia, and the meaning of hijab, she explains Islam to the greater public while calling for mutual understanding and tolerance. She tells us "Why Muslims are angry," and protests, "You can't pigeonhole 1.6 billion Muslims," while calling on Muslims to "acknowledge the rise of fanaticism." She explains the plausibility of Islamic financing and applies the Charter of Rights to Canada. "Can there be Islamic democracy?" she asks, and then, "Will Quebec adopt France's peculiar brand of liberty?" Provocative and original, even-handed and conciliatory, these essays are an important contribution to an urgent modern debate."--BOOK JACKET. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Short excerpt:
Even though I have read very few of Khan’s articles in the Globe, I really enjoyed this book. Each piece was very short and concise, but showed a depth of knowledge and of honesty that really pulled you into her arguments. By the time I was finished reading Of Hockey and Hijab, I just wanted to reach into the book and hug the author for writing down all of her ideas for people to share and discuss. Khan is a wonderful voice for presenting the issues of Canadian Muslims to pretty much any reader who wants to learn more about our country and the reality of the multiculturalism we claim to enjoy.
