A brave arabic woman one speaks against muslim clergy.

 

It was on Al-Jazeera two weeks ago. Hats off to that woman, too bad she'll probably "dissapear" before this years end.

Kudos.

Wow. She kick's major ass. We need more of her type in the Arab nations.

 

Strike that, we need more women like that all over the world.

Very impressive. I wish I could see the whole debate, without the edits - I wonder how her views were received. I'm pleased that Al-Jazeera, depicted by some as al-Qaeda's mouthpiece, would give her a chance to air her views in some detail.

She crazy.

As a fellow secular humanist, she rocked!

 

Good post.

Aren't we all.

Rocking?

Rocking the boat!

 

Am I right fellas? I mean, am I right?

She makes valid and reasonable points but since she isn't muslim and there is no indication as to whether she is even arab or in the middle east at the time of broadcast, it isn't anything special.

She's probably from Turkey

Keep it on topic.

 

It's good she gave voice but a shame she will not around for too much longer for her actions.

Can I borrow your time machine sometime? Because thats really the only way you would know that for sure, unless you plan on killing her.

When someone sticks up for others, against a powerful force like a government, they will usually get themselves into trouble. By being silenced by any means necessary.

Visible and outspoken critics of Islam, particularly apostates (if that's what she is), have lived under the threat of death in many countries, and some have indeed been murdered for expressing their beliefs.

Another famous female muslim critic of Islam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirsi_Ali

 

 

So many muslim extremists want her dead that they had to pull the whole Salman Rushdie treatment on her. Her partner in making the short film "submission" Theo van Gogh refused protection and was murdered.

I think there is a large amount of misunderstanding of Islamic cultures in the Middle East and elsewhere. Remember Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world, by population.

"some have indeed been murdered for expressing their beliefs."

 

Key word is 'some'. The odds ar ein her favor of living.

 

Also, IIRC, on another message board that linked it someone borught up the fact that not only is she *not* Muslim; she is also Amerikan not really from the 'middle east'.

 

I cna't confirm 'cause sadly this video doesn't work for me odd enough.

 

Either way, good for her!

 

However, I think the bravest wom(en) in the ME are the ones who go to school, enter politcis, etc. every day under the threat of death constantly.

Yeah, it does say she is an Arab-American.

That does undermine her credibility somewhat. Growing up in the US is a bit different than the ME

I don't particular care if she grew up in Argentina. Religious fanatics, especially Islamic fanaticals who have no problem blowing themselves up in order to kil as many as they can, need to grow up and start living in the 21st century. Religion had its time but that time is over for it is no longer needed as a social institution.

Hades, you bewilder me. You repeatedly express your belief in God yet you deny it elsewhere. Which is it?

I do not go by belief, but what I know. Does God exist, yes. Do I worship him? F**k no.

Okay. You're an empirical rationalist from what you say, yet believe in God. So what evidence do you have that "proves" God exists to you?
