in the Footsteps of Muhammad’

LOS ANGELES — Renowned Syrian-born psychiatrist and
activist Dr. Wafa Sultan delivered one of her first public speeches in five
years on Sunday, during which she implored the Western world to wake up and
realize that “all Islam is radical.”
Addressing
the crowd that had gathered for the American Freedom Alliance’s conference,
titled “Islam and Western Civilization: Can They Coexist?”, Sultan
said: “Don’t you dare tell me ISIS is not Islam or Islam is not ISIS. ISIS is
walking in the footsteps of Muhammad and the teachings of Islam.”
She added
that “the world is in denial” and argued that “Islam is not a
religion. It is a political ideology that imposes itself by force and fear.”
Sultan rose
to prominence in 2006, when she faced off against host Faisal al-Qassem
of Al Jazeera’s weekly program, The Opposite Direction. She
sparred with Egyptian professor Ibrahim Al-Khouli about Samuel P.
Huntington’s “Clash of Civilizations” theory, and she criticized —
among other things — women’s lack of rights in Muslim countries.
During
Sunday’s conference, Sultan said her goal is to “penetrate the mindset of those
in the world who do not understand Islam and show them that there is no such
thing as Islam and radical Islam; all Islam is radical.” She added, “Millions
of Islamists throughout the world are ready to act out their ideology: to kill or
to be killed in order to be divine, have their next meal with Muhammad and to
sleep with 72 virgins for a year. They are indoctrinated to believe Islam is
here to take over the world.”
In 2009,
Sultan published the book A God Who Hates, where she detailed what she
called the “evils of Islam” through her personal lens. She argued: “They
believe that the louder they shriek, the more they prove they are right. Their
conversation consists of shouting, their talk is a screech, and he who shouts
loudest and screeches longest is, they believe, the strongest.” She also wrote
that “the way the world has retreated, and continues to retreat, in the face of
the Muslims’ screams and shouts, has played a major role in encouraging the
them to continue to behave the way they do. When others remain silent or worse,
retreat, Muslims get the impression that they are right.”
On Sunday,
Sultan seemed to reiterate those arguments, pointing out the dangers inherent
in America’s adopted culture of political correctness:
When they
find weak governments that are more interested in political correctness rather
than protecting their country, they will seize the opportunity to destroy that
country’s religion and to replace them with Islam. They practice Islam, not as
a religion, but as a weapon. They understand the need to integrate and destruct
from within… Islam justifies hatred and violence as well as encourages it.
Sultan said
the Pope had stated that “‘the Qur’an is a book of peace and Islam is a
peaceful religion.'” To which she replied: “Wrong. Absolutely wrong. On the
contrary, it is also psychologically and spiritually damaging to people like
myself who have suffered under Sharia.”
She said she
was shocked that someone as holy as the Bishop of Rome could “fall victim”
to the falsehood that Islam is peaceful. “We all must wake up. Their actions
exemplify their goals of destruction throughout the world.”
To demonstrate
this, Sultan explained that the concept of Waqf in Islam means “whatever Islam
can take over and own is reserved solely for Muslims. One of the goals of Waqf
is to destroy churches.” She said that the destruction of Christian
churches carried out by the Islamic State had been an example.
Finally,
with tears in her eyes, an impassioned Sultan explained that “it pains me
deeply to lose my beloved first country [Syria] to ISIS and Islam. But more so,
I cannot stand the thought of losing my adopted country, the United States of
America, to the same thing. That’s why we must unite and protect this great
land from evil.”
