Who Should We Believe? Wafa Sultan, Hudson NY (hat tip Ruth)
The president pandered to Muslims: praised their accomplishments, commiserated with their grievances, and apologized for injustices done to them by centuries of colonialism -- without once mentioning the history of rampant and violent Arab colonialism.
He avoided any mention of Jihadi tenets, or of the Islamic political ideology of supremacy over non Muslims -- principles embedded in Sharia law. These are taught and sanctioned openly by Al-Azhar, the university that hosted him, the foremost center of Sharia studies.
Obama underscored the supposed American mistreatment of terrorists and apologized for torture in Guantanamo, forgetting that Islamic regimes are brutal to their own people. The president also repudiated significant U.S. contributions in both the lives of its soldiers and humanitarian aid to Muslims across the globe made throughout history -- despite Muslim attacks against America and Americans.
In short, parts of his speech sounded like a new Pan-Arab messiah come to usher the Arab world back into its rightful world dominion.Most disturbing was the president’s call to defend Muslims against negative stereotypes. A dangerous precedent is set when freedom of speech is silenced and ideological criticism forbidden. This, again, is the stuff of nightmarish totalitarian regimes.
The beauty of the US Constitution is its balance, and the wisdom it embraces by distinguishing between that which should be protected and defended and that which should be prosecuted and decried. Encouraging laws to make criticism of Islam an offense punishable by law is troubling.
... To the question I received on my e-mail; “Who should we believe, Obama or you?” I elaborated to my Moroccan reader that Obama is a politician who wishes to use sweet talk and to whitewash reality to make amends with Muslims.
I, on the other hand am a pragmatic Arab woman who escaped the prison of Islam to the free world and now devotes her life to expressing views freely and pressing for a genuine difference in Islam. We cannot have it both ways. Intolerance never tolerates freedom.
GELLER BELIEVES WAFA, NOT OBAMA.
SO DO I.

Wafa is very courageous indeed.
Why did 78% of American Jews vote for Obama? Granted, expats in Israel went for McCain but that figure rivals Hispanics who broke 67% for BHO.
Wafa Sultan is trying to hard to get people to listen to the truth. Look into her eyes. They are haunted with the horrific knowledge she has.
CARLOS: JEWS ARE LONGTIME LIBS/DEMS AND SEVERAL STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT T'S AS HARD TO SWITCH PARTISAN AFFILIATION - WHICH IS LARGELY INHERITED - AS TO CHANGE RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION.
ALSO: OBAMA IS AN EFFECTIVE LIAR AND US JEWS LIKE TO THINK OF THEMSELVES AS "PROGRESSIVES" AND HAVE BEEN LEADERS OF THE US CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT FOR 60 YEARS AND LIKED THE IDEA OF VOTING FOR A BLACK.
MANY HI IQ PEOPLE OF ALL CREEDS VOTE LEFT.
JEWS ARE NO DIFFERNT.
NOW: FUCK OFF, CARLOS - U R A SCUMBAG.
Reliapundit,
Good point about Wafa being the first American to have to live in hiding in decades. I hadn't thought about that. And, there you go, what would usually be an issue to Leftists - the stifling of Freedom of Conscience - is no issue at all, when it involves Islam.
By the way, I doubt Carlos was trying to provoke you with his comment.
I was trying to make the point that Jews in Israel, the expats, voted for McCain because they live in the region and understood the implications an Obama administration as opposed to McCain who probably would have made Lieberman his Secretary of State and would have backed Israel....
Moreover, the fact I cited that Hispanics also, who are typically Dems, with the exception of older Cuban Americans, was trying to demonstate how another group I would be tied to, opted for Obama, although McCain had gone to the mat for Hispanic immigrants in '08, and now Barry cancelled a key meeting/initiative to give them citizenship.
I AGREE THAT TOOOOOOO MANY EFFIN JEWS VOTED DEM/OBAMA AND THAT IT WAS BAD.
I OBJECT TO YOUR USE OF LIKUDNIK.
SEE OTHER THREAD.
