Sadly, Muslims and their enablers will keep defying those <strong>of</strong> us who dissent. We have a choice to<br />
make. We can continue to give in, or we can win people over by making it clear that our freedoms<br />
and our culture and our heritage will be protected -- no matter what it takes.<br />
In his show "Real Time" Bill Maher, an American comedian, stated last month: "<strong>Islam</strong> is the only<br />
religion that 'kills you when you disagree with it. They claim: 'Look, we are a religion <strong>of</strong><br />
peace…and if you disagree we shall cut <strong>of</strong>f your head.'" Maher predicts that "there are very few<br />
people who will call them on it."<br />
We are some <strong>of</strong> the very few who will call them on it. We are here with clarity and conviction to<br />
identify, to expose and, we hope, to marginalize the enemies <strong>of</strong> the free world. We are here to deter<br />
the destruction <strong>of</strong> our values by those who aspire to enslave us under the harsh and intolerable<br />
shackles <strong>of</strong> Sharia Law.<br />
When a woman living under <strong>Islam</strong>ic Sharia Law immigrates to a free Western country, it can<br />
become a complete transformative path, as happened to me. Now that I am free, I do not have to<br />
allow my rights to be abused by any religious or political authority. In the United States I am a<br />
person -- equal to all others.<br />
But how can we expect all other Muslim women in all parts <strong>of</strong> the free world to become<br />
emancipated when there are judicial institutions that help suppress their urge for freedom by<br />
punishing those who try to protect them, as happens to individuals like Lars Hedegaard, Geert<br />
Wilders, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, Kurt Westergaard, Jesper Langballe, Ezra Levant, Rachel<br />
Ehrenfeld, Joe Kaufman and Mark Steyn among others? Too <strong>of</strong>ten, the West seems indifferent to<br />
its denigration by <strong>Islam</strong>. Times are difficult nowadays.<br />
I, for one, do not take my rights for granted, and therefore I will continue to fight to protect these<br />
rights, not only for me but for all other Muslim women.As citizens <strong>of</strong> the free world, we must have<br />
the moral aptitude to fight and protect our liberty by exposing the totalitarian abuse <strong>of</strong> <strong>Islam</strong><br />
against women.<br />
The enemy has both unwitting and malevolent allies. We are obliged to call on those who<br />
surrender to <strong>Islam</strong>'s oppressive doctrine, those who weaken all <strong>of</strong> us and unintentionally --- or<br />
some deliberately -- cause our decline.<br />
We must realize that we are in a war. We must continue our unwavering resolve to serve as a<br />
buffer against the forces <strong>of</strong> evil. We cannot appease. We cannot compromise. We must recognize<br />
the enemies, and deter them at every pass.<br />
We will not stifle our language. We will use the appropriate vocabulary to call things by their<br />
rightful name. We will continue to press for moral clarity, for open intellectual discourse with the<br />
precise definitions <strong>of</strong> our goals against their goals.<br />
From now on, let us invoke the new terminology, "Truthophobes," against those who call us<br />
"<strong>Islam</strong>ophobes.”This is because their irrational fear <strong>of</strong> the truth is a detrimental factor for our<br />
survival as free people.<br />
The bitter reality <strong>of</strong> <strong>Islam</strong>'s Sharia doctrine should not be ignored. Real victory can take place<br />
only in the spirit <strong>of</strong> genuine inquiry, transparency, and the fearless pursuit <strong>of</strong> truth. A culture that<br />
does not respect half <strong>of</strong> its population will never thrive and prosper. Consequently, any attempt to<br />
make criticism <strong>of</strong> <strong>Islam</strong> forbidden and punishable by law is intolerable and will be strongly resisted<br />
by all people who love freedom.<br />
When I was living in Syria, I cried <strong>of</strong>ten because I suffered. Now that I am free, I still cry, but for<br />
all other Muslim women over the world. I dream <strong>of</strong> a future when all Muslim women can savour a<br />
taste <strong>of</strong> my freedom. This is a dream that should be granted for all humanity and our job is to be<br />
unrelenting in pursuing that objective.<br />
I challenge anyone responsible for the trial against Lars Hedegaard to reconsider the horrendous<br />
consequences <strong>of</strong> such preposterous allegations against him. Let us not revert to the Europe <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Middle-Ages.<br />
Let Freedom <strong>of</strong> Speech prevail.<br />
