Thank you for this. It takes courage to speak out, she will likely be targeted. Her positive characterization of Jewish people will no doubt enrage many Muslim "believers". A powerful comparison.

I am reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini -- Wafta Sultan refers to the dehumanization of women by Muslim men, which is the overriding theme of the book. I found her plea if you will, while spoken dispassionately, deeply emotional.

The link doesn't work. It is incomplete. Could you please edit the link?

For those of you who may not be able to open this link...the problem is at the source, Al Jazeera, who may have closed it down.
Try googling Al Jazeera and then the lady's name, Wafa Sultan.
