Video: Wafa Sultan at the Secular Islam Summit
posted at 9:27 am on March 5, 2007 by Allahpundit
Jim Hoft liveblogged it all weekend. Lots of heroes in attendance — Sultan, Walid Phares, Ibn Warraq, Irshad Manji. Ayaan Hirsi Ali didn’t make it, but she has endorsed the declaration the Summit plans to release today.
Sultan was there to accept the group’s International Humanist Award. The speech is short but sweet enough to leave the man behind her wiping away tears at one point. That man? Tawfik Hamid, a former disciple of … Ayman al-Zawahiri. Hoft has a post up about him, too. Click the image to watch (and then keep scrolling).

Islamic women are awesome. Too bad our NOW group doesn’t attend and learn a few lessons on how to be liberated…how to be a real women…how to fight for real freedom.

No way. Fighting for an alternate spelling for the word “woman” is much more important than stopping the brutalization of women worldwide.

When I hear women like Wafa and Ayaan, I’m not only proud of their courage as soldiers against the tyranny of extremist Islam…but I’m proud of them as women! And I’m SO proud to be a woman.
We’re witnessing the MartinE Luthers of the Islamic Reformation, I believe. God bless them – all of these wonderful women.

In the world of Islam she is a stone cold liberal.
Over here, she’s the embodiment of reagan conservatism to the right, and for the most part the left ignores her because she is striving to reach a moderate center and not running to the immoral left.

That was great! She’s one of those people who so clearly mean what they say, that it’s hard not to be moved when you hear her speak.

Brave, brave woman.

She just told Glenn Beck: “I don’t see a difference between radical islam and regular islam.”
Me neither.
