Gotta pass it on

Saw this and can't help but post it, even though I probably will bail from this thread when it hits 10 posts.

Interesting.

I am surprised that this woman is still alive, frankly. I am also amazed that those men would actually put themselves in a position to allow a woman to speak to them like that.

Thanks for posting that. She certainly said it like it is.

Thanks for the link. Sometimes the messenger is as important as the message. It's good to hear some sanity from a source that is usually insane (and by that I mean television, of course).

I'm not surprised she is alive, she does, after all, live in Los Angeles and while I'm sure she has some increased risk, political and religious killings are pretty rare here.

I also love the subtitle of the book she is writing, though just in general and not necessarily directed at Islam specifically.

Oh....I suppose I should have paid better attention to that. Silly little me living in my non-diverse Phoenix universe. I figured since it was in Arabic and it was English subtitles that it must have been coming from somewhere in the middle east.

So, I'll change that. Not surprised she's still alive.

Well, the show was on Al-Jazeera and broadcast in the Middle East, but she was in a Los Angeles studio.

Nasty, nasty comments posted on youtube. Those, coupled with the immovable opinions of the men interviewing Ms. Sultan, illustrate the hole we've dug for ourselves by allowing ultraconservatives an unfettered and equal voice in the world. I want a new group of people, call them ultracompromists, to start running things. Marginalize the smug and negativistic. Embrace compromise for the sake of not blowing people up.

Oh lookie, I'm number 10. 'Bye Jen!
