Wafa Sultan is a very brave woman, although living in the US gives her a fighting chance of surviving her views of Islam and its followers .......
She considers that Islam is undergoing "a battle between modernity and barbarism which Islam will lose."
"The trouble with Islam is deeply rooted in its teachings. Islam is not only a religion. Islam [is] also a political ideology that preaches violence and applies its agenda by force." She has written that "No one can be a true Muslim and a true American simultaneously ...... We first have to help them see their ogre clearly and show them how to exchange their God who hates for one who loves".
Her comment that "no Jew has blown himself up in a German restaurant", brought attacks and death threats ... particularly as she was born an Alawite Muslim, so a heretic to the Sunni Muslims.
She said that she was shocked into secularism by the 1979 atrocities committed by Islamic extremists of the Muslim Brotherhood against innocent Syrians, particularly her witnessing of the murder of her professor, Yusef al Yusef ...

"They shot hundreds of bullets into him, shouting, 'Allahu Akbar!' At that point, I lost my trust in their god and began to question all our teachings. It was the turning point of my life, and it has led me to this present point. I had to leave. I had to look for another god."
In the UK she would have been driven into hiding ...... just like Salman Rushdie, and with hardly a comment from our Home Secretary. But she lives in the USA, where the law still protects free speech.

Moderation is on for older posts to stop spamming and comments that are off topic or inappropriate from being posted .... comments are reviewed within 48 hours.

Vexatious comments that may cause upset to other commentators, or that are attempting to espouse a particular wider political view, are reviewed before acceptance. But a certain amount of debate around a post topic is accepted, as long as it remains generally on topic and is not an attempt to become sounding board for some other cause.
