rom the front page of "The New York Times "to YouTube, Dr. Wafa Sultan
has become a force radical Islam has to reckon with. For the first time,
she tells her story and what she learned, first-hand, about radical
Islam in "A God Who Hates," a passionate memoir by an outspoken Arabic
woman that is also a cautionary tale for the West. She grew up in Syria
in a culture ruled by a god who hates women. "How can such a culture be
anything but barbarous?," Sultan asks. "It can't," she concludes
"because any culture that hates its women can't love anything else." She
believes that the god who hates is waging a battle between modernity
and barbarism, not a battle between religions. She also knows that it's a
battle radical Islam will lose. Condemned by some and praised by others
for speaking out, Sultan wants everyone to understand the danger posed
by "A God Who Hates. "
