Wafa Sultan: A God Who Hates

Wafa Sultan writing in her new book, A God Who Hates:

For me, understanding the truth about the thought and behavior of Muslims can only be achieved though an in-depth understanding of [the] philosophy of raiding that has rooted itself firmly in the Muslim mind.  Bedouins feared raiding on the one hand, and relied on it as a means of livelihood on the other.  Then Islam came along and canonized it.  Muslims in the twenty-first century still fear they may be raided by others and live every second of their lives preparing to raid someone else.  The philosophy of raiding rules their lives, the way they behave, their relationships, and their decisions.
Page 66

The status of women in Muslim countries is a human catastrophe that the world has ignored for centuries and for which it is now paying a high price for ignoring.  An oppressed and subjugated woman cannot give birth to an emotionally and mentally well-balanced man.  The invisible Muslim woman has been and continues to be the hen who incubates the eggs of terrorism and provides them with the necessary warmth to hatch the terrorists.

Whatever has been said in the past and will be said in the future about the role of television in shaping a person's convictions, I do not believe that it has played or ever will play as important a role as books do.  And this is even truer when the book in question is a religious one, and when it is the sole source of knowledge for people who are bedazzled by reading it.
Page 165

It is difficult, if not impossible, to have a healthy relationship with another person if you are suspicious of his or her intentions.  No Muslim, no matter how well educated, no matter how outwardly accepting of others he may be, can free himself completely of his suspicions when circumstances bring him into contact with [Christians and Jews].  He is quite convinced that he cannot have a real friendship with anyone who does not accept Muhammad as a divinely inspried prophet.
