Have you guys seen this video?

It is a powerful and amazing statement on Al Jazeera television. The woman is Wafa Sultan, an Arab-American psychologist from Los Angeles

I saw the video quite some time ago, and I am amazed that it's still online. Ms. Sultan is an incredibly courageous woman.

Thank you for posting that. Very inspirational. It's good to know that there are people like her who have the courage to stand up for personal liberty and free choice. It's nice to know there are those who do not hate simply because of belief, heritage, or religion.

I think this woman is my new hero. I wonder how long it will be before those who she speaks out against will again commit the atrocity she condemns, and silence her cry for liberty? Hopefully never. But based on past events, I fear otherwise.

As a side note: did you see the religious leader's response? Did you hear the part about heresy? Did you see the look on the man's face? If that isn't a step back to the inquisition, I don't know what is. I really don't understand why those who discount Christianity (or any other religion) as fanaticism and cultism essetially are silent in the face of this. Why is that?

Thumbs up Wafa Sultan

Wafa Sultan is truly an evolved human being! She tells the truth in a most eloquent way.

That was an interesting video, thanks for posting it.

I'm not sure I agree with her views on the Jews (or the buddists for that matter) being entirely correct but she makes some excellent points.
