Interesting that this former Muslim is getting media coverage about the shortfalls of her former religion. While most non-Muslims would probably agree with her, I doubt many Muslims would pay attention. And those that do, would probably attribute it to anti-Muslim sentiment and not listen seriously.
"In a blunt interview on Al Jazeera television last month, Sultan harshly criticized Islam as violent and unfavorably compared Muslims with Jews. In remarks Sunday at her Corona home, Sultan, who said she left the faith after witnessing an act of religious extremism, went even further, saying Islam was beyond repair with teachings that exhorted Muslims to kill non-Muslims, subjugate women and disregard human rights.
'I don't believe you can reform Islam,' Sultan said. Saying Islamic scriptures are riddled with violence, misogyny and other extremist ideas, she declared, 'Once you try to fix it, you're going to break it.'"
