"A silent, persistent activism is what leads to change."
I imagine he meant "quiet", but his slip reveals the delusional pathology of "mainstream islam"... it is WAY TOO silent about the repression and violence it allows to exist in it's midst!
Since all of this happened after 9/11, it was a perfect time for her to criticize Islam, especially born as a Muslim and get all the media glory. After 9/11 anyone who criticized Islam became a hero overnight and made a lot of money. How else one can attract media attention to a small town like Morgantown? That was her ONLY goal.
Asra Nomani was not interested to work with the community to resolve the issues. She wanted a confrontation so that she can get the national media attention to promote her book (Standing Alone in Mecca).
Women "choose" not to pray in the main hall because they are conditioned not to want to go near men. Men intimidate them, they don't create a welcoming atmosphere.
"Their reading of the Quran told them they could do this." That's an excuse, but I don't think that extremist militants even believe that the Quran allows them to do what they do. Bad people will do bad things if they want to and it's not because of their reading of religious texts.
I take it that that highway at 2:07 is I-68 at the MD-WV border.
