West underestimates the 'evil of Islam'

The West was still underestimating the evil of Islam, an influential Muslim thinker has warned, insisting that Australia and the US have been duped into believing there is a difference between the religion's moderate and radical interpretations.

Influential Muslim Thinker?

.

On a two-week "under the radar" visit to Australia, Syrian-born Wafa Sultan secretly met both sides of federal politics and Jewish community leaders, warning them that all Muslims needed to be closely monitored in the West.

.

So Wafa Sultan is an influential Muslim Thinker????

.
In an interview with The Australian, Dr Sultan - who shot to recognition last year following an interview on al-Jazeera television in which she attacked Islam and the prophet Mohammed - said Muslims were "brainwashed" from an early age to believe Western values were evil and that the world would one day come under the control of Sharia law.

So if one attacks Islam one becomes an influential Muslim thinker? Influencing whom exactly? And recognition seems hardly the correct word here!

.
The US-based psychiatrist - who has two fatwas (religious rulings) issued against her to be killed - warned that Muslims would continue to exploit freedom of speech in the West to spread their "hate" and attack their adopted countries, until the Western mind grasped the magnitude of the Islamic threat.

.

So a degree in psychiatry elevates one to being a thinker? And renouncing the faith makes one an influential Muslim thinker?
