ellis Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Interesting - discuss Not sure if it's been posted before and its not here to incite rebukes, hatred etc - just an interesting video from an interesting woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Racist! Actually, I can't view the video from work, but I'm guessing from your comment it's likely to kick off some heated debate. Can I have a summary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 A slightly one sided view as they didn't show the other guy's responses. But some interesting points. A word of warning though, if you are going to debate this topic..... Reasonable debate please. My finger is poised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Yeah, agree with Thorin, but for different reasons. Anyone post a summary, I can't afford to view videos on my connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Summary: One group are rubbish, the other are well ace. Her one-sided rant managed to engage me for 45 seconds and then I had to move on. Maybe I missed the important bit but ultimately this has been done on here already, people disagree on it and under the current cotton wool climate it's probably best to avoid anything that might cause a disagreement, even if discussed nicely. IMO of course, YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 One group of what are rubbish. If some doesn't summarise the clip soo I'm going to send it to Hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 One group of what are rubbish. If some doesn't summarise the clip soo I'm going to send it to Hell. I wouldn't want to be seen to be taking sides as it might offend some random person who hasn't posted for years but suddenly feels strongly about something, as a result I'll leave my summary as it is. Maybe you can watch it later and make your own mind up. Edit: To hell with it, it's Wafu Sultan, an Arab-American Psychologist on Al-Jazeera TV in Feb '06, The clash we are witnessing around the world is not a clash of religions, or a clash of civilisations. It is a clash between two opposites, between two eras. It is a clash between a mentality that belongs in the middle ages and another mentality that belongs to the 21st century... And so on. To be honest without any context it's hard to know what she's banging on about and her voice irritates me.

RedM Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Please summarse that link for me, R.E.S.P.E.C.T. or I will something something ban thee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Right. The start of it says that the current fighting in the middle-east is nothing to do with a clash of religion or politics, it's a clash between 21st century thinking and barbarism (although fighting over a hair cut is even more rediculous than religion, but hey), a clash of human rights. She outright calls Muslims barbers ball-bearingsbarbarians. I neither know or care what particular faith she follows, but she is quite clearly an ignorant bigot. Just what we need to keep the forum civil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhicks22 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Genius. No sound on my terminal but from the subtitles in the first 30 seconds it looks hilarious. She's clearly on the fence about the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Is it Anne Coulter in the clip? Skinny, sort of blond, face like an ugly horse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 or I will something something ban thee! JFDI, seems less reason to be around here with each day that passes.

Carl_S Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 OMG Well I have thought this before, but I would not dare discuss it on a public forum, becuase my testicles are too small. Oh to hell with it! Here goes: She is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus1 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Was very enthralled by what she said and made some very accurate points. Is she still alive, how much is on her head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 She has a very good point. I don't belive she is of any religious view as she states she does not belive in the supernatural, but belives in mankind working together for everyone's benefit. I believe her point was that religion makes wars, and that everyone should be free to belive in whatever they want, with no pressure to belive in what someone else is preaching. She says, "Brother, you can belive in stones, as long as you don't throw them at me." Which I think is a very good way to put it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Was very enthralled by what she said and made some very accurate points. Is she still alive, how much is on her head? Well, here she is again in March 2008. http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=29201_Wafa_Sultan_on_Al_Jazeera&only The two pundits are laughing at her in the studio, however she won't be deterred. She's a very good speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
