Magic When You Need it

From 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 firsthand 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 cant she concludes because any culture that hates its women cant 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 its 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.
