I recently watched a video of a woman called "Wafa sultan" scolding muslims for treating non-Muslims differently and for not recognizing the accomplishments of non-Muslim society. I knew before i even clicked on the vid that it would be accompanied by hundreds of comments by narrow mided "Sun" readers jumping on the band wagon and praising her for speaking the truth about the "Cruel" and "violent" religion of islam. And theres nothing wrong with that, i might actually agree with her - if she had any credibility.
Lets begin - If you did something illegal, would you trust a dentist to represent you in front of a court of law? or a lawyer ? Now apart from actual dentists and potheads feeling a bit philosophical, most of you would answer "Lawyer". So now i put it to you, would you trust a psychiatrist to teach you history or an actual historian? Im, sorry but thats what wafa sultan is - a psychiatrist, not a historian - a psychiatrist. There are more bibles in my local mosque than history textbooks in her house.
Next, do you know why the videoonly shows transcripts of Wafas participation in the al-jazeera debate but no replies from her opponent? Its not because he was sat quietly in shame, its because the person who edited that video didnt want you to see her get PWNED by the actual historian answering her. Wafa made a good opening statement - very powerful, she threw alot of accusations and inaccurate statements about but the truth is far from what she was telling you as you can see:
She seems to believe that Islam is the source of all terrorism and that non-muslims are incapable of committing any sort of inhumane act. She claims "no Jew has blown himself up in a German restaurant", this bought her an invite to Tel Aviv by the American Jewish Congress. But it looks to me like shes blinded by her double standards. If she was a true human rights activist she would know that Terrorism has no religion and is actually a product of political or social unrest accompanied by any ideology. Just like the KKK are "Christians" and Nation of Islam are "Muslims". We have to remember that these extremists are always a minority and once you start treating them like the majority - you are aiding their efforts to cause further unrest. Just to answer her claim of the Jewish inabilty to cause terror here are a few examples of jewish terrorism (Dont take this the wrong way, Jews are apparently stingy but not all terrorists either) :
August 20, 1937 - June 29, 1939. During this period, the Zionists carried out a series of attacks against Arab buses, resulting in the death of 24 persons and wounding 25 others.
November 25, 1940. S.S.Patria was blown up by Jewish terrorists in Haifa harbour, killing 268 illegal Jewish immigrants (see below).

July 22, 1946. Zionist terrorists blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which housed the central offices of the civilian administration of the government of Palestine, killing or injuring more than 200 persons. The Irgun officially claimed responsibility for the incident, but subsequent evidence indicated that both the Haganah and the Jewish Agency were involved.

April 19, 1948. Fourteen Arabs were killed in a house in Tiberias, which was blown up by Zionist terrorists.
There are more but you can google for them. The point is muslims arent the only terrorists and "Dr" Wafa isnt as credible as everyone sees her. She doesnt really know what shes talking about, shes more of a misinformed rant queen than a reformist, but you dont have to take my word for it, after all - ive only just turned 18, im a muslim, and i am of course according to ms wafa - a terrorist .
