If you've not yet watched the video of Arab-American psychologist Wafa Sultan
on Al-Jazeera TV, do it now.

It's incredible. An intelligent, articulate woman taking Muslim religionists
to task, right on an Arab TV network? Unbelievable!

Here are some choice quotes:

The clash we are witnessing around the world is not a clash of religions, or
a clash of civilizations. It is a clash between two opposites, two eras.

It is a clash between a mentality that belongs to the Middle Ages and another
mentality that belongs to the 21st century.

It is a clash between civilization and backwardness, between the civilized
and the primitive, between barbarity and rationality. It is a clash between
freedom and oppression, between democracy and dictatorship. [Š]

The Jews have came from the tragedy (of the Holocaust), and forced the world
to respect them, with their knowledge, not with their terror, with their work,
not their crying and yelling.

Humanity owes most of the discoveries and science of the 19th and 20th
centuries to Jewish scientists. 15 million people, scattered throughout the world,
united and won their rights through work and knowledge.

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.

The Muslims have turned three Buddha statues into rubble. We have not seen a
single Buddhist burn down a Mosque, kill a Muslim, or burn down an embassy.

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 mankind, before they
demand that humankind respect them.

Can you imagine a woman saying this, with great force, to Middle Eastern
audiences? This is a woman of great courage.

There's much more, and it's good. Watch the whole thing
