This is a brave, intelligent woman. I fear for her life.

A friend sent me this link featuring this woman debating an Islamic professor on Al Jazeera last year.
She really speaks the truth, in my opinion. I'm surprised she's still alive.

for courage and intelligence. The clip is only 2 or 3 minutes long. She rocks the house. It's worth the time.

Dr. Wafa Sultan is a psychologist and a Syrian expatriate who resides in the U.S. On June 5, 2005, she published an article on the reformist website www.annaqed.com - the Critic - entitled "The Muslim Brotherhood: Who Are They Trying to Fool?" in which she cautioned liberal opponents of the Syrian regime against believing that the Muslim Brotherhood has really adopted pluralism and democracy. On July 26, 2005, Dr. Sultan appeared on Al-Jazeera to debate an Algerian Islamist professor of religous politics.

The women of that region are starting to speak up. They are the best hope of stopping the mindless cycle of murder and tyranny.

Pluralism is, in the general sense, the affirmation and acceptance of diversity. The concept is used, often in different ways, in a wide range of issues. In politics, the affirmation of diversity in the interests and beliefs of the citizenry, is one of the most important features of modern democracy. In science, the concept often describes the view that several methods, theories or points of view are legitimate or plausible. This attitude may arguably be a key factor to scientific progress. The term pluralism is also used, in several different senses, in the context of religion and philosophy.

I had to look that one up.

wow! she is brave and i am saddened that i have to say that a person is brave for speaking out.

It is a different world when we as americans say "she's brave" for expressing her opinion. sad times we live in.

I wonder if she would be able to speak so under Shariah law?
