radical religious believes V.S. Pure rationality and science
BackThis is a section of An Arab-American Psycologist, Wafa Sultan on Al Jazeera TV, Feburary 21, 2006.
In the new century, the conflict in the Middle East is still in shaky ground. Palestinians' water, land are controlled, roads are guarded by Israel troop's checking points for the control the transportation of Palestinians. USA government still doggly supports Israel government, which has been surpressing Palestinians, who explodes car bombs and suicide bombs to kill Israel citizens in return. In West Africa the gap of the poor and the rich has worsened under the so-called democatic leadership.
These happpen, because radicals religius ideas appeals to the public, has become the reflection of social and economical problems in these society, when government corrupts, when the gap between the rich and the poor has been intoleable, when a country is in financial ruin, or when the new cultural values have been forced to replace the old ones, and many more scenarios.
This video also questions the necessity of religion, which has been a part of cultures since the beginning of mankind.
When does relgion become a cultural lag? What's its function of religion today? Do most of the people really have the willpower to establish their own moral principles without religion? Are women surpressed in the name of religion? How to interpret relgiious doctrine? Figuratively or literally? Should democracy be imposed or encouraged? What's good about domocracy when your own survival is in danger?

SLAUGHTERING PALESTINIANS AT A RATIO OF 8 to 1 AND THEN CLAIMING YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF TERRORISM AND ANTI SEMITISM IS SIMPLY LAUGHABLE BY ANY RATIONAL, LOGIC, RELIGION OR CREED!!!. NO EXCUSES ARE CREDIBLE FOR THESE LEVELS OF TERRORISM. NOT EVEN THE JEWISH TORAH ALLOWS KILLING BEYOND AN EYE FOR AN EYE!
PLEASE COPY & PASTE THIS COMMENT ON MANY OTHER ISRAEL RELATED VIDEOS....

That woman is brilliant and brave! she talks clear and without being blind, she get lots of credit just for being woman on a sexist culture and even more for being Secular Humanism on a Fanatic Fundamentalist country. I liked a lot the examples she put about Scientist that earnesd their respect on century 20 and 19. This video is marked as one of my favorites now.

All religions enslave the mind to mythology, destroy civilizations, and the craddle in which wars, murders, theft, and atrocities are born in the name of appeasing a vicious, venomous, vile god be that deity Allah, Jesus, Yahweh or any other imaginary being. When religion exists no more, the mind and mortalkind will be free to develop rationally in peace with each other. Bravo Wafa!

Homosexuality does not disrupt family relations--heterosexual bigots within family who are narrow in mind produce tensions and violence and war and murder. Even the ancient gods had homosexuals in their number (Zeus and Ganymede for example). Religions destroys the rights of people to determine their own destiny.
