Wow! Free thinking woman openly dismissed because she is an infidel. Reformation will be painful for the old school Muslim leaders won't it?

Yeah, what she said.

BTW, did you know MEMRI was founded by a Jew? He was a colonel in the Israeli Intelligence Service.

She says it how it is, that's very respectful. That other guy seems to be defending too much.

This is a good example of why their religion wants to keep their women undereducated. It is really impressive to see someone like this step up and risk her life for what she believes!

They need some tough al-Mother types over there to take names and spank some ***. There's nothing worse than the rage of a fed-up mother. Look at nature, of which we are all a part. It's the mothers that most often stifle knuckleheadedness, steer evolution and facilitate advancements, whereas the fathers most often just kill each other.

Her name is Wafa Sultan and she is a Syrian expatriate. She now lives in the US and works as a psychology professor.
I'm quite surprised that Al Jazeera would allow such a cogent argument in opposition to widely held religious beliefs of Middle Eastern Muslims. I wouldn't bet on a long life for Ms. Sultan.
I heard a bit of information on the profile of suicide bombers. You might think they are a few thousand down and out losers with not a lot upstairs.
Untrue: There are hundreds of thousands willing to kill innocent civilians in there dark departure from this life. They are middle class with college educations and often arrive in Iraq from neighboring Islamic countries.
