Story of Mohammed Islam Unveiled

Those victims I treated were of the same type of victims of honour violence to which Mr.
Hedegaard referred, and for which he is now being penalized by those who are supposed to be
championing the same values we all hold dear in the West.
By suppressing the freedom to expose atrocities and cruelty against Muslim women, however, the
West undermines their status as respected and valued citizens. Is this what government leaders
seek to accomplish? Are Muslim women who suffer immensely under Sharia Law, including in the
West, not worthy of government protection?
As a physician, I am alarmed at the coordinated effort by Islamists and their accomplices in the
West to disrupt this basic right to freely express and expose what needs to be corrected. The
horrific attack on 9/11 has brought to light the recognition that no spot on Earth is immune to
Islamism. My own personal stories -- my ophthalmology teacher in medical school in Syria, for
example, was shot and killed in front of us because he was teaching female students -- apply to all
of us.
As long as there are Muslims within our societies who promote Islamic Sharia Law and work
tirelessly to apply it in our free societies, we need to be educated, vigilant and active in defending
our liberties. It is one issue that all of us must be concerned about and strongly attentive to.
I am not here to incite anyone against Muslims. Please understand that Muslims are my people,
and under any circumstances I wouldn't be able to peel off my own skin and be anything else but a
woman from a Muslim country and the Islamic culture. But I am here to unearth the true face of
Islam as a hateful and intolerant ideology, including its treatment of women.
Osama Bin Laden is now dead and gone. But the harsh and intolerable Sharia Law he so
faithfully practiced is alive and thriving. Bin Laden's life and horrific actions are clear proof that
Islamists are victims of an intolerable dogma that lures them away from their inherent common
sense, and turns them into human beasts.
At a very early age, they are brainwashed to believe that Islam is bound to control the entire
world, and that their mission on earth is to fight for the sake of this goal. For this, the end justifies
the means -- therefore humiliating, torturing or killing others is a divine mission.
Lara Logan, the CBS journalist who covered the recent Egyptian revolution broke the wall of
silence on a program called "60 minutes," by sharing the sexual violence that was inflicted on her
as a female and a foreign journalist in the field. In her own words, she stated that the Egyptian mob
who assaulted her "really enjoyed my pain and suffering. It incited them to more violence."
For many Westerners this is a vivid view into the shocking treatment and continuous harassment
of native women, as well as foreign women, in Egypt.
This practice persists due to Muslim inculcation of hostility to, and derision of, women. To add
salt to the wound, Muslims blame only the victim -- for supposedly falling short of Islamic
restrictions on dress and behaviour and thereby "enticing" the men.
Unfortunately, in her interview, Logan submitted to the persisting political correctness, and was
careful not to use the words "Muslim" or "Islam" with connection to the terrible sexual ordeal
against her.
Let me share with you only few personal stories. These are tales which only affirm Lara Logan's
deplorable episode, and prove the pervasiveness of the abuse of women in the Muslim world.
My own niece was forced to marry her cousin when she was eleven and he was over forty. Her
marriage was valid under Islamic Sharia because the prophet Muhammad married his second wife,
Aisha when she was 6 years old and he was over fifty. My niece for many years was terribly
abused and did not have the right to ask for a divorce.
She would escape from her husband's house to her father's, begging him; "Please let me stay here.
I promise to be your maid to the last day of my life. He is so abusive; I can't take this torture
anymore." Her father would reply, "It is shame for a woman to leave her husband's home without
his permission. Go back. I promise I will talk to him".
