She makes some good points but they fall on deaf ears.

Nice to know that Al Jazeera will actually broadcast some opposing views. We need to get away from our dependence on oil big time. We end up indirectly funding the Terrorists...

This is an interesting site, I think I got the link here some time ago. It's run by ex-muslims. Eye opening for sure.

Al Jazeera may get a bad rap sometimes. They are in the biz of makingmoney so they play what will attract an audience. The US actually approach the locals about shutting them down and the response was something to effectof "you must be joking.....can you do that to any of your whacky media outlets?"

Wow!!! She didn't take any guff from the clerics, and certainly have a towering intellect compared to the men she was debating.

Wow!!!!

Her to the Iman "Brother, you can believe in stones as long as you do not throw them at me."

Anyone know her name?

Yeah those guys got owned right on Al-Jazeera. Here's more info on her: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/11/international/middleeast/11sultan.html?ex=1299733200&en=d13886daba5e586f&ei=5090&partner=rssus

edit: Listening to the Muslim clerics try to argue with her gives a good insight of how irrational these people are. They can't argue with facts and she stated many in that interview.

She's got a book coming out:

DR. SULTAN is "working on a book that — if it is published — it's going to turn the Islamic world upside down."

"I have reached the point that doesn't allow any U-turn. I have no choice. I am questioning every single teaching of our holy book."

The working title is, "The Escaped Prisoner: When God Is a Monster."

Dr. Sultan grew up in a large traditional Muslim family in Banias, Syria, a small city on the Mediterranean about a two-hour drive north of Beirut. Her father was a grain trader and a devout Muslim, and she followed the faith's strictures into adulthood.

But, she said, her life changed in 1979 when she was a medical student at the University of Aleppo, in northern Syria. At that time, the radical Muslim Brotherhood was using terrorism to try to undermine the government of President Hafez al-Assad. Gunmen of the Muslim Brotherhood burst into a classroom at the university and killed her professor as she watched, she said.

"They shot hundreds of bullets into him, shouting, 'God is great!' " she said. "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."

Why has this taken so long to get to Pelican? This may be of greater relavance than anything else posted here on Islam.

I wish her well and hope she's changed at least one mind over there.

When the Muslim women of the world wake up it will be the end of Islam as we know it today.

I posted this almost a year ago on Pelican. Do a search of her name and it will pop up.
