Dr. Sultan
Neo-Neocon has the story of Dr. Wafa Sultan. She's an amazing and brave woman.
UPDATE: I always assume everyone has read what I read, but for those who don't, Dr. Sultan is a woman from Syria who has been standing up to Islamists. Out loud. On Al Jazeera. She's very moderate and the fact that she's been on these shows has actually shown some moderation movements going on. Of course now there is a price on her head as she tries to write a book.
