    Syrian-American doctor, writer, and critic of Islam

    Wafa Sultan (Arabic: وفاء سلطان; born June 14, 1958) is a Syrian-American medical doctor, writer, and critic of Islam.[1] In 2006, Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.[2]

    Early life

    Sultan was born into a modest middle class Alawite[1][3] family in Baniyas, Syria.[4][5][6]

    Although Sultan wanted to be a writer, and would have preferred to study Arabic literature, she studied at the medical faculty at the University of Aleppo due to pressure from her family.[7] She says that she was shocked into secularism by the 1979 atrocities committed by Islamic extremists of the Muslim Brotherhood against innocent Syrians.

    She states that while she was a medical student, she witnessed the machine-gun assassination of her professor, Yusef al Yusef,[8] an ophthalmologist from the university who
