Irshad Manji
Everyone: Here's my "Morning Joe" interview from earlier today. It was all over the map - literally! From Yemen to Britain to... well, you'll see. Because we touched on so many issues, I have to ask: Which point did you appreciate (or disagree with) the most? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036789/#346
Irshad Manji Everyone: I'M BACK! Did you miss me? :) Well, I sure missed you. But even your humble servant needs a break - to eat, sleep, write and reflect. Tomorrow, I'll be on "Morning Joe" to discuss Iran *and* the "jockstrap jihadi" who tried to blow up a plane in Detroit on xmas day. Will also show a clip from "Faith without... Fear." You'll see why. MSNBC, 7:30-8 am Eastern. Online video to come. For now, my latest re Iran: http://www.irshadmanji.com. It's good to be back.

Irshad Manji Congratulations Martha Marissa Marpaung! You've won the final autographed copy of my book thanks to the many Indonesians and "honorary" Indonesians who voted for your comment. It's now Christmas Day so let's ALL replace "hiks...hiks...hiks" with "wkwkwkwk..." (*smile*). SantaIrsha wishes everyone a very merry holiday. ...See u back here in a few days. Mwwwaaah!
Irshad Manji RUNNER-UP #7: Not an actual caption. It’s Martha Marissa Marpaung’s reaction to my announcement of the winners: “hiks... hiks... hiks... :(” Maybe the triple-hiks means sthg in Bahasa Indonesia, but all I know is that it cracks me up! Then again, YOU are the judges. To vote for this, cite #7. PEOPLE: You have until Mi...dnight Mass on Christmas Eve to make your choices – and voices – heard. I’ll announce the winner on Christmas Day. Welcome to democracy, SantaIrsha-style.
Irshad Manji RUNNER-UP #6: “Irshad replies with her best Jack Nicholson imitation: ‘The truth? You can’t handle the truth!'” Submitted by Ann Karina. To vote for this, cite #6. And finally... (Continued...)
Irshad Manji RUNNER-UP #5: “I’m telling you, Chris, we have to challenge this Santa fellow to find out exactly what he does the rest of the year!! Maybe he doubles as a lousy make-up artist on THIS show...” Submitted by Henri. To vote for this, cite #5. (Continued...)
Irshad Manji RUNNER-UP #4. “If the architects of mosques were legally obligated to build their minarets no taller than the length of their penises, the controversy over minarets would shrink like a wee willy in a cold wind.” Submitted by Arn. To vote for this, cite #4. (Continued...)
Irshad Manji RUNNER-UP #3: “You think my jihad ain’t gonna make a difference? Watch this space SUCKER!” Submitted by Pam. To vote for this, cite #3. (Continued...)
Irshad Manji RUNNER-UP #2: “Chris, this is as close as I can get my fingers together. I’m afraid if they every touched, merging left & right, I might be considered a centrist and right now I have all the labels I can handle!” Submitted by Frank. To vote for this, cite #2. (Continued...)
Irshad Manji RUNNER-UP #1: “Hardballs? What?! My reformist ovaries can shut your mouth at once! (Imagine a Wonder Woman Bollywood style mixed with rap...)” Submitted by Juliette. To vote for this, cite #1. (Continued...)
Irshad Manji All: SantaIrsha is feeling generous. So I’m ready to give away one more autographed copy of my book. But instead of me being the judge, this time YOU will be. My next 7 messages will be the runner-up entries. Please vote only once. BTW, I’m posting an extra-red version of my face with every entry, just to get us into ...the Santa’s-gonna-blow-her-top mood. Here we go. (Continued...)
Irshad Manji (continued)... 3) "Offended? Don't hate the playa, baby. Hate the GAME" [true dat!] by Whitney Kirkman. Winners, pls send your mailing addresses by contacting me privately through my website. The rest of you: Join me in laughing out loud with our winners. Congratulations, one and all.
Irshad Manji Drumroll please! The winners are: 1) "Chris, you may have 'hardballs' but no one knows how to use 'em like I do. Watch yo' back my pale brotha..." by Aly Ramji; 2) "This idiot just asked me to trade my porcupine hair for his toupee. He can't even afford a tie; how's he going to manage my million-dollar Rod Stewart head...?" by Yunus Badat [love the Rod reference]; and... (continued)
Irshad Manji The results are in! But I can't announce the winners yet. First up, honorable mentions for creativity: 1) Ismail for his "Heading above the pic: ~FACEBOOK'S MOST WANTED~" and 2) Tom for putting words in the mouth of someone other than me: "Ms. Manji, for the last time, you can have crumpets when the interview is over,... stop pointing at the trolley already!" Nice work, guys! Prize winners to be revealed shortly...
