This video clip from Al-Jazeera is stunning, though I fear that this woman is going to need some serious protection from the world of Islamic fundamentalism. After watching this video the prospect of secularism as opposed to monotheism is inviting.
You must watch this video.

Monica that's one of those speeches that make me wonder where all of the great orators have gone... I totally agree with everything she says, but I'm always up for some skeptical thinking, so I'm going to do a post tomorrow about the virtues of medievalism.
This time, I hope, I won't have to defend violence.
I agree with you, Luke -- secular monotheism, perhaps? And you are right about Abraham as well, though he certainly had a sneaky side (trying to pass Sarah off as his sister, twice, in order to protect himself).
Very interesting about Mohammad, also. I had never heard that. It does seem though, that first there's Judaism. And then Christianity comes along and tries to fill in the gaps ("Here's the Messiah!"). And then, of course, comes Islam, trying to fill in more gaps of its own. I wonder if there's another religion that will come along and do the same thing.
