She needs an armed escort to the airport and a one-way ticket to the US, now.

I admire her ability to speak up in spite of the dangers.
Islam needs more people like her. People who will say "Hey, wait a minute. What we're doing is ass-backwards. We're not proselytizing Islam. We're killing it".
I wish her well and hope that more like her will speak up.

'The need of the hour is not reformation but revolution,Good point. Islam is beyond reform. It's about 1400 years past being tossed on the ash heap of history.

Yeah, I was just about to say that this woman is not long for this world. The thugs from the "Religion of Peace" will kill her at the earliest opportunity, after they abuse her.
I am willing to bet the left will simply look aside..again.. as another person exercising their free speech rights is slaughtered by the terrorists/islamofacists the left is so sympathetic for.

Any list of the fatwas against her yet?
To: sagar
I was born in a Muslim family and Muslim women suffer under Islam. None told me to fight against oppression. It was inside me. Women are treated as slaves, sexual objects and childbearing machines,
someone ought to tell this to the dumbasses out in Hollywood

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Because in that point in human advancement, the muslims and their antiquated religion would have long since gone the way of the dinosaur.

Why are there no Arabs on Star Trek? "Go. Or stay. But do it because it is what you wish to do."
To: nickcarraway
"Islam is history because we live in the 21st century now"
Tell that to the billion plus loons that practice it.

One big fat fatwa, hold the mayo, coming right up!
To: nickcarraway
How valid is any religion when apostasy brings a death sentence? It's an awfully weak set of ideas that employs the threat of head-hacking to maintain adherents.
Just like communism.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taslima_NasrinIn 1993, sparked by a series of newspaper columns in which she was critical of the treatment of women under Islam, Islamic fundamentalists pronounced a fatwa against her and offered a bounty for her death.
Later, the government banned her book Lajja, (a Bangla word meaning shame), which drew attention to the torture of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. Again there were calls for her death and her passport was confiscated by the government.
In 1994, organised groups identified with religious fundamentalists demanded her execution by hanging after she was quoted in The Statesman stating that "
the Koran should be revised thoroughly." The government of the day, whilst not taking action against those who had issued threats, filed a court case against Nasrin charging her with hurting the religious feelings of people and an arrest warrant was issued. Although she anticipated that she may have faced a jail term of up to two years, Nasrin felt it was very likely that she would have been murdered in jail; she went into hiding. After two months she was granted bail and left the country.

Seems to me it stops being a religion and starts being a cult (or a criminal organization like the mafia). But in any case, not a religion.
