can you give your opinion on Wafa Sultan, speaking on Al Jazeera TV in 2006. She raises many…?
The problem with Miss Sultan is that she is unwisely misrepresenting the image of Islam based on the actions of extremist people who have used Islam as their excuse to oppress people, take away their lives and spread terror. While it is true that Muslims may have been somewhat scientifically and culturally regressive throughout the years, and many of these so-called ‘Muslims’ are justly to blame for the terrorist crimes they’ve committed, one cannot just go about calling the religion of Islam as the source of all these heinous acts. Miss Sultan has conveniently interpreted the ‘call to war’ by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) without considering the situations of that time, the backgrounds, the contexts and she fails to provide us with the complete information. That’s quite easy to do, as anyone can manufacture or accumulate one-sided details and splash it everywhere as if it were the truth. The solution to the problem in my opinion, is to isolate the actions of these ‘Muslim’ oppressors/terror
