I agree,
Even in the media (TV, Pop videos etc) the Muslim female is a force in itself.
She's still alive and still waging the fight. That woman is heroic! May God protect her.
Wafa Sultan, 47, has given new meaning to the word bad. A psychiatrist in Syria before transplanting to Southern California in 1989 with her family, she gave an interview with al-Jazeera a couple of months ago that made her a household name in the Islamic world. "The clash we are witnessing around the world is ... a clash between a mentality that belongs to the Middle Ages and another that belongs to the 21st century," she said. "It is a clash between freedom and oppression."
She questioned Islam in 1979, when, she says, she witnessed the murder of a professor by men with alleged ties to the ultraconservative Muslim Brotherhood political group. I challenged Islamic traditions after my friend and former colleague Daniel Pearl was murdered in 2002. Both killings were punctuated with "Allah is great." We have differences: Sultan blames Islam; I blame Muslims. But we both believe the Muslim world is in the Dark Ages. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1187385,00.html

Civilizations don't clash. Civiliztions compete.
Muslim's must ask what they can do for humankind before they can ask humankind to respect them.
May God protect this brave woman.
The video was released Feb 21, 2006, the First thread on FR was Mar 12, 2006.
Exactly! I imagine that you'll be hearing any day that she was murdered.
WOW WOW WOW. She really kicks that guy's butt.
Yes I had it for a long time but did not see it on FR.
Yes she nailed them -- adn Jews don´t bomb German restaurants of burn churches.
The Imam's response is to state taht he cannot argue with someone who offended the Kroan and Allah.
Post...meet Imam...Imam...meeto post.
Just an excellent post. Great job Cardhu.
It doesn´t have a title one can search by so it will probably be posted again sometime, but I still think it needs to be given the widest audience.
Not only for her but the fact that now Al Jazeera is in English, although not in America, you can see why they are hated by all governments, Arab and Western alike.
It is because they cannot be controlled and do allow sides of the subject to be aired. If that had been CNN or the BBC, both of which have been dropped by some Israeli networks for bias, she would have been interrupted constantly by the moderators.
Al Jazeera is a breath of fresh air for people who want news instead of therapy.
What a post!
Thanks - she really laid it all out for them.
You MUST view this video!!
(BTW, greetings, my friends!)
She is indeed.
