On November 21, 2006, Dr. Wafa Sultan was interviewed on Al Jazeera, and for the first time on air a Muslim woman demanded the right to speak from a Muslim interviewer who had denied it to her. The clip made the front page of The New York Times, drew more than a million views on YouTube, and that year Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
In this book Sultan tells her own story for the first time and sets out her defiant views, shaped by growing up in Syria in a culture ruled by "a God who hates" women. She argues that the world is witnessing not a clash of religions or civilizations but a struggle between modernity and backwardness, one that violent, reactionary Islam will lose. Condemned by clerics across the Muslim world and praised by reform-minded Muslims, she offers an impassioned testimony and a warning about the threat radical Islam poses to the West.
This is the Hebrew edition of A God Who Hates, translated by Nira Barak.
