The last video of the woman speaking out against Islam.
Brought back memories. First time I seen that I was sitting in a hooch in Balad Iraq (Camp Anaconda) fiddling with the rabbit ears on a TV I brought off an Iraqi electronics dealer who was allowed to set up shop on base.
First thought I had was that woman has a very large set of balls. My guess was she would be killed by some fundie islamic idiots. I sincerly hope that never happened. The world needs more ballsy arabics like her.
As a side note (hopefully entertaining) I did have a Iraqi friend (worker whom I called friend as we had some fun times together) who, like me, would claim to be whatever religion had the next holiday coming up so he could get a day off frome work! One day I asked him "So, what religion are you today?" We were alone without any other Iraqis around and he said "Today I am like you, my friend, I am an Atheist."
I really think the fella was atheistic, he just couldn't say it out loud for fear of reprisals (<-sp?) once he left the safety of the base.
Hopefully I'll get sleepy soon and save you all from my prattling.
Edited to add:
Giff is right. The fundie Islamics going around blowing themselves and innocents up are a small minority of Islamics. I have personally met and talked with a great many Islamics in Iraq, Dubai, Sharza (sic), some other small city in the UAE, I forget the name atm and in Manila and Cebu in the philippines. The fundies like Osama bin and their violence promoting clerics DO NOT speak for all of Islam any more than Pat Bucannon or Robert Tilton speaks for all of Christianity.

I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
