Women in Islam: Suffering the Barbary of an Ideology
The New Media Journal ^ | April 4, 2008 | Frank Salvato

Posted on 04/04/2008 4:54:10 AM PDT by NewMediaJournal

News spread quickly that anti-Islamofascism activist Dr. Wafa Sultan has gone into hiding, along with her family. They are in hiding because of her participation in a recent debate on Al-Jazeera in which she challenged Egyptian Islamist Talat Rheim over Dutch cartoons of Mohammed and the ideology of Islam in general. For her truthful criticisms of Islam Dr. Sultan earned a fatwa, a “religiously” decried death sentence, from an Islamic scholar. That she criticizes Islam is enough justification in the eyes of the radical Islamist to kill her. That she is a woman infuses into the fatwa an unbridled viciousness and a need for expediency.

In the al-Jazeera interview, Dr. Sultan proclaimed:

"...any belief that chops off the heads of its critics is doomed to turn into terrorism and tyranny. This has been the condition of Islam, from its inception to this day. Islam has sentenced [its critics] to prison, and whoever crosses the threshold of that prison meets his death... If you want to change the course of events, you must re-examine your terrorist teachings, you must recognize and respect the right of the other to live, you must teach your children love, peace, coexistence and productive work. When you do that, the world will respect you...”

Not long after Dr. Sultan’s remarks, Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, one of Islam’s most respected scholars, presented his religious edict and denounced Dr. Sultan, calling for her death. Qaradawi, it should be noted, has also declared the killing of American soldiers in Iraq and suicide bombings against Israel as a religious obligation for all Muslims. Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy, describes Qaradawi as, “one of the world’s pre-eminent Islamofascists.”

They are thugs and barbarians. Not that our MSM has much noticed. Nor the National Organization of Women. Liberals don’t much like pointing out backward cultures, because all cultures are relative.

Sure they are...

How about starting a western religeon that can issue death warrants on random people it differs with?

I’d found it, but to be acceptable to the msm, I’d have to be am ego maniacal, psychotic, drug using, child molester.

CAIR and the other Islamofascist apologists go on and on about a "war on Islam" which doesn't exist.

After reading this article, I'd say it's time one was started.

Dr. Sultan is a hero of the first rank.

It occurs to me that the women of Islam would be logical people to arm and train and encourage to overthrow their various despotic governments. They are certainly oppressed and they certainly would have much to gain by obtaining their freedom.

CAIR and the Islamists have figured out the quickest way to power in the West is through victimhood.

Thanks “liberals”!

Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi denounced Dr. Sultan, calling for her death.

This 'SHEIK' should be thrown in jail for making terroristic threats, and if Dr. Sultan is murdered he should be convicted of assessory to murder and executed. These cowards should be held accountable for the consequences of their barbaric rantings.

Islam is not about love, peace, coexistence and productive work and worrying about what Infidels think about you.

Those are secular worldly things. What Muslims are concerned with is what God (Allah) thinks about you, and what God (Allah) wants done. (subjugate,convert or kill non-believers)

Killing her is the appropriate Muslim response to her behavior.
(read the Koran and Hadiths for further clarification and edification on this subject.)
