Wafa Sultan: ‘America is my God’

Wafa Sultan is on a mission to debunk what she calls the Islamic ideology of hate. Since 9/11, the Syrian-American psychologist has spoken out against the Muslim world calling them "hostages of their own belief system." She believes Islam has polluted the subconscious of millions of Muslims who are indoctrinated into a culture of toxic religious and political ideology. Those are powerful words coming from a woman who was born and bred in that system, but even more, they’re courageous: "I sometimes hear Osama Bin Laden walking behind me in my bedroom and I wonder why he doesn’t shoot me; but most of the time, I am at peace about my decision to speak out."

Now, she is urging the western world to join her and help liberate Muslims from Islamic teachings that are their only access to knowledge.

Since her fiery speech on Al Jazeera in February 2006 caught the world’s attention, Sultan has been promulgating her criticism of Islam from college campuses to international governments. She has met with leaders in Israel, Australia, Qatar and will soon travel to France. Last night, she appeared at Sinai Temple to tell several hundred people "what the west needs to know about Islam" and how she believes her message will resonate 200 years from now.
