Of hockey and hijab [electronic resource] : reflections of a Canadian Muslim woman / Sheema Khan. Toronto : TSAR, c2009. 1 online resource (161 p. ) "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. Description based on print version record. Islam.
