Speaking Truth to Insanity - Follow up on a Must See Video

On Feb. 21, one of the bravest women to come along in a very long time gave an interview on Al Jazeera television. This is a “must see video” for anyone who is trying to wrap their brain around the profound insanity that is Radical Islam.

The Woman’s name is Dr. Wafa Sultan, she is a Syrian-American psychiatrist living in Southern California.

The video comes via Ace & Ogre Gunner over at the Ace of Spades HQ Archives;

Now that you’ve watched the video, here’s the update;

From the NYT
For Muslim Who Says Violence Destroys Islam, Violent Threats

It seems that she (and presumably her family) have received death threats from all over the world in the last 2 weeks. It’s no great surprise that the Muslims who have allowed their Religious leaders to shape and twist them into suicidal psychopathic murderers and rapists would react to the truth this way, but it’s refreshing (and shocking) to hear public support for Dr. Sultan coming from sane Muslims around the world (watching the news, you wouldn’t think there were a lot of them around anymore).

From the NYT interview;

Dr. Wafa Sultan, "Knowledge has released me from this backward thinking. Somebody
has to help free the Muslim people from these wrong beliefs."

Perhaps her most provocative words on Al Jazeera were those comparing how the Jews and Muslims have reacted to adversity. Speaking of the Holocaust, she said, "The Jews have come from the tragedy and forced the world to respect them, with their knowledge, not with their terror; with their work, not with their crying and yelling."

She went on, "We have not seen a single Jew blow himself up in a German restaurant. We have not seen a single Jew destroy a church. We have not seen a single Jew protest by killing people."

She concluded, "Only the Muslims defend their beliefs by burning down churches, killing people and destroying embassies. This path will not yield any results. The Muslims must ask themselves what they can do for humankind, before they demand that humankind respect them."

Some one had to stand up and speak the truth.
I wish this brave woman all the luck in the world.
