I Told You So
It was on March 3, to be exact. Right here. On the 11th, The New York Times reported on Wafa Sultan and according to the article, she has received numerous death threats by telephone and by email. Yet, she remains undaunted, emboldened even.
Today, thanks to an unusually blunt and provocative interview on Al
Jazeera television on Feb. 21, she is an international sensation,
hailed as a fresh voice of reason by some, and by others as a heretic
and infidel who deserves to die.[…]
"I have no fear," she said. "I believe in my message. It is like a
million-mile journey, and I believe I have walked the first and hardest
10 miles."
What amazing courage.

I think I saw that interview, and I thought it was pretty impressive for her to speak so freely and vehemently about Islam. I don't think I would have the guts to say most of the things she said, knowing how many Muslims would react.
C & F had a great cartoon about her, along with some links and quotes:

It's the third one down right now.
I'm all in favor of more women in control in Muslimland! I think it's about time to do some serious ball-busting! LOL
