Priceless. Thanks for the link.

I am very leery of links that are not explained before I click on them.  I just don't click because someone I don't know told me to. Sorry.

Bravo!

I have seen her before and seen this video as well. She has a "sword like" clarity.

Holy crap!  An Imam smacked-down by a woman.  That's priceless!

Link doesn't work for me -- it's a Mac thing I guess. I gather it's a video...is it available elsewhere? YouTube?

What a brave and intelligent woman. She's my hero.

Thanks for the YouTube link.

A little Wiki read on her:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wafa_Sultan
A google search yields a WEALTH of information.

That was amazing.  She raises many good points - while some could be rebuked (there have been several Jews who blew themselves up, while a disproportionate number of scientists were Jewish "most" is a stretch), overall it was an amazing speech.  Did anyone issue a fatwa against her?

I would have liked to have seen more response from the Imam.  I view his primary argument of "you do not believe in the Koran so you're wrong" as completely useless.  It would make things easier though, if everyone that disagreed with you was discounted by virtue of their disagreement...

Here is another video, more Imam centric.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztXaNwbbJQU&mode=related&search=

He points out that the West is barbaric because the Arabs brought it out of the Dark Ages... 700 years ago.  I'm glad the achievements of my civilizations are not tied to accomplishments 700 years ago, no matter how noteworthy.  

And did you know the only purpose of the West is to target Islam?  We cause trouble everywhere because we hate Islam.  Buddhists, Hindu's, Jews, Sikhs, Christians, Zoroastrians, and secularists also all hate Islam apparently.  He then quotes from his holy book to support his point - the definition of begging the question.

...and the war on Terror is a crusade to destroy Islam. Its really all a big plot by "Zionist Christians" in America that are controlled by the Jews.  And George Bush is the greatest terrorist, lots of Bush hating.  

The video was posted to "refute her."  It just aided in my support of her.  Who gives a damn who started it anyway?  Bah.

This special on CNN was worth watching. I wish I had it on DVD to show people the history of all 3:

On the Muslim episode, the CNN reporter danced around and showed examples of a lot of the areas that Wafa Sultan hits head on. It was a pretty even account of all 3.

WOW! That was an excellent link. I hope she's got body guards. When we practice that kind of freedom of speech here, we take it for granted. She's going to agitate the violent.

I thought it was interesting that basically she was saying I don't believe in GOD, respect me as a human being. What would say to somebody in America that said that. Can you Imagine Laura bush saying that? DO you think that would cause any controversy in America.
