Arabic Debate About Islam

Below is a debate between Wafa Sultan, the Syrian-born American critic of Islam, and an Egyptian Islamist on an Arabic television program. This is yet another example of the complete and utter disconnect between the "realities" of the Western and Islamic worlds. There are two totally different world histories presented (despite historical evidence) and two totally different perceptions of current world events.

Until Islam is reformed from within, including the elimination of the fantasy world in which many of its inherents live, peace with the West is so unlikely that it is practically impossible.
