Watch this video as soon as you can because it may be erased. This is one of the most extraordinary talks by one of the bravest women I have ever seen. Occasionally, you find someone brave, intelligent, and articulate who can tell it like it is.........

Who is she?

Her name is Dr. Wafa Sultan. She is a Syrian born American phychologist living near LA, in Southern California.

It would be more effective if she wasn't American.

I think the most powerful point in the whole video was that he refused to address anything she said because she was a "heretic".

What's effective is what's true and can be verified by what actually, factually happens. Of course, proving her point, she has been plagued by many threats of violence. It is refreshing to see someone speaking so plainly, with values that mirror tolerence and with a respect of objective reality rather than empty rhetoric.

There were a few sweeping statements which deserve debate. She wins because he refuses to debate with her. I believe there are other people who would take on the challenge. I'd be more convinced of the validity of her views if there was an actual discussion to be watched.

I find this bizzare... If you don't agree with me, you should be killed? How can such a statement be made alongside words like respect and civilization?
