Wafa Sultan, the Syrian-born writer and a daring activist struck the right cord by shouting at the top of her voice, while she was having a fiery discussion on an Arab news network. With continuous interruption from an Islamic Sheikh distracting her, she felt that she had to do something. So she just said, ‘Shut up! It is my turn.’
The bold activist believes that this is a way of conveying to all the Muslim women around the world and particularly in the Middle East that it is high time that they should speak up against their male counterparts.
Sultan said:
It is time to stand up and tell your men shut up . . . because you have been making decisions for me for 1,500 years.
Of late, she is drawing wide-scale attention amongst the westerners with her outrageous remarks against Islam, however, many other Muslim women feels that this in no way to bring about changes in the society.
Contrary to Sultan’s hope that she would one day like to be the ’savior’ for millions of Muslim women world wide, Sabiha Khan, spokesperson for Los Angeles Council on American-Islamic Relations says that lot many Muslim women feels that she is not as important as she thinks, she is, for the progress of the women community.
Nevertheless, this 48-year-old tigress has received recognition from Times Magazine as one among the ‘World’s 100 most influential personality’.
Sultan is not going back on her aim to help the Muslim women in the Middle East by these feeble remarks. She aims to build up an education foundation for the women folks and instill confidence in them so that they can stand up alone against any kind of circumstances.
