Check out my new post!

She is none of these and I think someone has to do the job. I am furious that some people hold this person as a 'Voltaire'. Voltaire must be crying in his tonb or people will have to read Voltaire again because they only know of Voltaire the surface and the clichés...Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577807573716384982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19435968.post-76238103269970940772007-02-24T10:05:00.000-05:002007-02-24T10:05:00.000-05:00Ohdave,Thanks for the comment.

She is a real scholar, which Ali is not. I have her original Ph.D. thesis and a friend who is doing a documentary on women in religions borrowed it from me.<BR/>Here is the link to her <A HREF="http://Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577807573716384982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19435968.post-83667647256229414822007-02-24T08:29:00.000-05:002007-02-24T08:29:00.000-05:00Sophia, I didn't realize that the link opened at t...Sophia, I didn't realize that the link opened at the bottom of the post, even below the comments, rather than the top. Weird. Maybe it's just my browser. Apologies on that one.<BR/><BR/>I plan to link to your translation of the LeMonde interview, and to summarize some other things I've seen in Le Monde, although I'm not up to translating. My French is not as good as yours.<BR/><BR/>Regarding ohdavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13301100314546526009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19435968.post-8554066470645378382007-02-23T20:41:00.000-05:002007-02-23T20:41:00.000-05:00Ohdave, My sitemeter tells me otherwise, that you ...Ohdave, <BR/>My sitemeter tells me otherwise, that you accessed the post from the technorati link. Indeed I have linked to your original post on Hirsi Ali.

They appear timid to me and when not, quickly shunned and shut up by the Anglo-media.<BR/><BR/>You see, they all say "oh Iranians talk well, but we don't believe them!!!"Najhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728668942925956610noreply@blogger.com
