Dishonest Daisy Defames, Dishonors True ex-Muslim Heroine: more Ground Zero Interfaith, Peace, Tolerance, Love, Blah, Blah Blah

Atlas readers are very familiar with the courage and honor of Wafa Sultan. She is singular, a woman I admire above all.

Daisy Khan just tweeted:

A heart to heart — with a little Chianti and fava beans, I'm sure…….. note: "A Muslim spy"

Here is Daisy in full bloom ………how are those polygamy initiatives going, Doozy? (thanks to Pamela Hall for photo)

Dialogue: Daisy Khan, Islamic supremacist mega-mosque imam's wife, lies about and defames ex-Muslim heroine Wafa Sultan with prefatory remarks by Robert

The leaders of the initiative to build an Islamic supremacist
mega-mosque at Ground Zero insist that central to their objective is
dialogue with people of other faiths and healing of the wound jihadists
inflicted upon New York and the nation on September 11, 2001. But
belying their soothing words is an ever-lengthening record of
dishonesty.

Besides being an open advocate for Sharia and restrictions on the freedom of speech in his book What's Right with Islam, Daisy Khan's husband, the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, has refused to denounce Hamas. He has lied about his commitment to religious dialogue. He has lied about whether the Islamic center planned for the Ground Zero site will contain a mosque or not. And he has lied about whether or not the project is getting foreign funding. He is involved with a group that helped fund the jihad flotilla against Israel.

And now the courageous ex-Muslim Wafa Sultan reveals that Daisy Khan
has openly lied about her, claiming that she invited her to conferences
when she didn't. A similar thing has happened to me: a few years back
the noted Islamic scholar Akbar Ahmed said this about me to C-Span's
Brian Lamb: "I know the work of Dr. Spencer and I know a lot of these
arguments because I've been a scholar of Islam for the last several
decades. So, I'm very aware with all my friends and colleagues. And we
interact with them. We debate. We discuss." But this wasn't true. He has
never interacted, debated, or discussed anything with me, and has
actually never responded to numerous invitations from me to discuss or
debate relevant issues — invitations I have conveyed publicly here at
Jihad Watch, in email, and through some of his students who came to one
of my university talks.

It is, of course, useful for Daisy Khan, and probably Akbar Ahmed
also, to pretend to Infidel audiences that they have engaged the points
that people like Wafa Sultan and me make. But in reality, they haven't.
All that Daisy Khan and the other leaders of the Ground Zero mega-mosque
initiative can do in regard to their opponents' arguments is lie and
smear them personally. Some "dialogue."

"Daisy's Con: Ground Zero Mosque Imam's Wife Tells Whopper About Me," by Wafa Sultan at Pajamas Media, August 11 (thanks to all who sent this in):

I recently received a transcript of a Q&A session with
Daisy Khan which occured this past July at the Chautauqua Institution.
Khan is the wife of the infamous Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf — the man
behind the highly controversial Islamic supremacist mega-mosque
scheduled to be built blocks away from the ruins of the World Trade
Center.

Here is the transcript of the question involving me, and Daisy Khan's response:

Q: There is a woman from the west coast I believe, I'm
not sure of her name, her family name is Sultan I think, and maybe
something like …

DK: Wafa Sultan.

Q: Yeah. And I'm wondering if you can speak to her, how should I
put this … her views are somewhat different and more anti-Islamic, I
believe. She has testified in some freedom of speech trial in the
Netherlands recently, and I wonder if you can speak about her views and
how it all fits together.

DK: Yeah. Umm, the little I know about Wafa Sultan is that she
was traumatized as a child, umm, when she was in school, and there was a
band of extremists that came in and shot a whole bunch of students in
school, and she actually witnessed that. So when you have such a
negative memory of religious people, or people doing something (like
that) in the name of religion, it is a deep trauma, and I personally
believe that this trauma is working through her own work in the United
States.

Much of what she says is deeply incoherent. I'm happy to engage
with people if they are truly struggling to understand, but you cannot
remove 1400 years of evolution of a faith and just call it a bad
religion. You know, people like me that are Muslims, and there are
millions and billions of Muslims that are good, honorable people. And
when you throw the baby out with the bathwater you know that it is just
an absolute rejection, and there are people like that exist in every
community, and certainly we have our share, uh, but I have a hard time
engaging her.

I've invited her to several of my conferences, because I try to
reach out to people like that, but she has always refused to come.

Although, I did write an article in May of this year exposing Daisy's
husband, Imam Rauf, I have never received a single communication from
her and she has never invited me to any of her conferences.

It's very disturbing that Daisy would lie about having invited me to
discuss what is written plainly in the Koran. If she can be so overtly
deceptive in front of hundreds of people in the audience about such a
trivial matter as an invitation to a conference, surely her credibility
is damaged by such a performance, and her integrity has been severely
compromised. She lies about offering an invitation to me and
misrepresents Islam when addressing audiences about interfaith unity.

I have devoted my life to exposing the brutality and political,
totalitarian nature of Islam. This is why Khan tries to demonize me, and
why she labors so diligently to obscure the truth.

It's clear that Daisy Khan has no problem evading the indisputable
historical evidence within Islamic doctrine that demands the subjugation
of all non-Muslims to its tenets, and the punishment given to all who
reject its authority. This is the source of Daisy's problem with me,
judging from her accusations against me and her evaluation of what she
considers my anti-Islamic sentiments. Apparently, she — like her
husband — is skilled in the practice of taqiyyah: lying when dealing
with non-Muslims, a practice fully sanctioned and promoted within Islam.

As the point-men for the proposed Ground Zero mosque, both Daisy and
Imam Rauf demonstrate how agile they can be at deflecting legitimate
scrutiny of their actions and obscuring their true intentions. Daisy
Khan's dishonesty about having invited me to attend her conferences is
characteristic of the kind of maneuvering and manipulation she engages
in with her audiences.

As for my understanding of Islam: unlike Daisy Khan, I grew up in
Syria, studying Islamic texts in Arabic. Daisy Kahn, on the other hand,
was born in Kashmir, where Arabic is not her first language. That makes
me better qualified to understand Islam than Daisy.

My "trauma" is not merely the result of isolated childhood
experiences, or one incident that occurred when I was in medical school.
The trauma built up as a result of countless acts of vicious violence
and cruelty which I witnessed during my thirty-two years living in
Syria. These crimes were committed in particular against women.

My niece was eleven years old when she was forced to marry a man in
his forties. She suffered tremendously and endured horrific abuse and
humiliation — behavior not only taught under the prescriptions for the
treatment of women and wives in particular, but mandated under Islamic
Law, or sharia. Although she pleaded with her father to escape from the
hell she suffered under her abusive husband, she was not allowed to end
the marriage.

She was twenty-eight when she finally gave up and committed suicide.

During my practice as a physician, I have treated numerous abused
women who were severely beaten and raped. If that weren't enough, now
that I have left Islam, I too am subjected to the cruel death penalty
sanctioned by sharia against apostates….
