(NAME-MCE) Wafa Sultan

[KispokoT at aol.com]

Greetings Ms. Shalal-Esa,
 
My message did not not to endorse or reprove Ms.Sultan's  comments.  My 
message was posted simply to share the fact that  Al-Jazerra television provided 
ground-breaking air-time to a woman, then allowed  her to say these kinds of 
things. From what I'm told from friends who  visited and/or lived in Dubai, this 
is a huge step in recognizing women and  allowing for open dialogue debate. 
 
Please don't let my posting reflect on the credibility of this listserve or  
the people on it.

Dear Fellow Listserve members,

I am shocked that a  member of this listserve, which I have always cherished 
and recommended to  others, would encourage the dissemination of the diatribe 
being spewed out by  this woman, Wafa al-Sultan. What she is doing and saying 
in no way contributes  to any understanding or tolerance of fellow human 
beings. Her statements are  clearly anti-Muslim propaganda and they are deeply 
offensive to those of use  who are working for peace and justice in the world. 
Many of this woman's  statements are also just plain wrong, misinformed and 
designed to further  deepen the artificial chasm being created between Christians, 
Jews and Muslims  by right wing media to help fan the flames of war. 

Please, please,  consider starting a dialogue with Muslims in your community 
to get the real  truth. You can find many good resources on the website  
www.dialoguesforpeace.org, including the opportunity to receive a PBS  documentary 
for free to help facilitate a real dialogue about these  issues.
