@ Sixpack:
You don't have to retort to calling Spoon 11th a "gutter rat". This forum is being moderated as you know.

@ All:
Wafa Sultan is a female.

But "bilge rat" is OK, right?

Do they adress a colonel as a sergeant in Zahal?
Calling someone a "bilge rat" will not be tolerated on this forum, unless that is his or her actual forum rank, like - for instance - you should be adressed as "Über Mom" and I as "Dutch Commodore."

Yeah, I also though she was extraordinarily brave.

The definition of a "moderate Muslim" is "any Muslim that is scared of being labeled an apostate." Wafa is definately a moderate.

I don't understand. She has openly claimed to be an apostate. She was not mincing words at all in her interview.

Did you mean to say she is defintely NOT a "moderate"? :hmm:

Today’s world leaders could learn from Wafa Sultan not to mess with their words and lay it on the line.

She's not stupid, which is why is is all that more impressive. She knows exactly what risks she is taking, and she's still taking them.


Having courage does not preclude fear, and being fearful does not preclude courage. You can be scared off your ass and still do it.

However, some people still dont seem to get one (I) can believe in:

A. a God (= totally beyond human control, now that's too bad eh ? *)

B. Yet have heavy criticism on ALL religions (= 'man made', unless you believe i.e. Genesis, the 10 commandments tale and all that is attributed to Mohammed and Boeddha actually happened like was written down by humans **)

-----------------------
(*) Because he doesn't do as you please every time you want something and make you feel all peach fuss, you dismiss him as non-existent ? Speaks volumes on your childness and 'spoiledness' (if this is an English word) not to mention 'ignorance' (= incapable of imagining; to stretch your limited mental capabilities)

(**) I was born a Roman-Catholic, yet despize all the crap that has been going on in this religion, and the utterly disgusting child abuse by priests. It gave me extra reason to not return ...

So, I believe in a God/Creator/Divine mystery (why not ?), which qualifies me as a 'non-atheist'
I dont believe much in organised religions (big part of it is human bogus, small part of it I recognise as universal values and good; and Islam I explicitly consider a hostile, jealous, backward religion)

Ducimus, the use of the word 'you' does not mean this post is against you. I dont even know who you are. But frankly, I dont like it when a member doesnt even mention where he is from...So, tell us a bit about yourself, iyp

The sad thing about Wafa Sultan or what's her name, is that by stating she is completely secular and even is tolerant or indifferent to Satanism she should have been aware she has no credibility with her Al-Jazeera audience whatsoever !

It's like saying 'Freedom' (what Dubiya wants to spread) equals the freedom of your neighboor to worship Satan, and the other neighboor to have homosexual orgies in the house next to yours and corrupt your children. In other words: Total lawlessness and immorality.

I am saying: In the minds of the AJ-audience (and I can even relate to them, despite the fact I have been living in extremely liberal over the top Holland all of my life)

So I stand by my earlier remarks that this interview has been an utter waste of time
