Your Thoughts On This Please- an exploration of culture clash

[Jabberwocky]

I KNOW its been discussed a thousand times and I KNOW Im always moaning about the same old topics on SF over the past few months, but I found THIShttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wPglHZQf-0 and god help me, I found it interesting.

 

Im not sure what my opinion is regarding this, I agree with a lot of what she says, but... It cant ALL be true.

 

Can it...?

Sounds to be true enough to me... She is one powerful and courageous speaker, that lady!

 

Ain't religion wonderful!

It'll be a rather delayed reaction if so, that was broadcast Feb. 2006... What puzzles me is that it was apparently broadcast by Al-Jazeera TV !

Her name is Dr Wafa Sultan and she is something of a celebrity on US TV talk shows. She is the worst nightmare of muslim extremists everywhere. Not only is she an ex-muslim, she is of course extremely articulate in her criticism of Islam (which she does from a humanist perspective). What is more, she is the very opposite of the submissive and docile female which these extremists appear to prefer. On another video, she gives a leading Islamic 'scholar' a vicious verbal beating in response to his comments on the role of women.

 

She is not, of course, the only muslim or ex-muslim woman to do this. There are several others out there, perhaps most notably Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who are also fierce critics of the religion they were brought up in.
