She’s a brave woman. Hope she doesn’t get murdered.

It's on Youtube, so Al Jazeera no longer has control of it.

Al Jazeera can drop it but it won't matter. The video you linked was at MEMRI's website.

I like the woman, but she is wrong when she says no Jew ever shot up a church or however she put it. It doesn't happen often but it does happen. Baruch Goldstein did murder a whole bunch of people in a mosque in Hevron in 1994. She should know that people on our side are never allowed to be wrong about anything.

According to the NYTimes, the interview was televised on 2/21/2006. Here is an excerpt from the Times article...
Three weeks ago, Dr. Wafa Sultan was a largely unknown Syrian-American psychiatrist living outside Los Angeles, nursing a deep anger and despair about her fellow Muslims.

Today, thanks to an unusually blunt and provocative interview on Al Jazeera television on Feb. 21 (2006), she is an international sensation, hailed as a fresh voice of reason by some, and by others as a heretic and infidel who deserves to die.

In the interview, which has been viewed on the Internet more than a million times and has reached the e-mail of hundreds of thousands around the world, Dr. Sultan bitterly criticized the Muslim clerics, holy warriors and political leaders who she believes have distorted the teachings of Muhammad and the Koran for 14 centuries.

“..Dr. Sultan bitterly criticized the Muslim clerics, holy warriors and political leaders..”

Those who should be most criticized are the western “leaders” who are the enablers of muslim terrorism. If they took off their kneepads and stood up to Islam the situation would be entirely different. It doesn’t help to continually refer to Islam as a religion of peace, because it ain’t.
