About Wafa Sultan

Wafa Sultan is a Syrian-American psychologist who has become noted since the September 11, 2001 attacks for her participation in Middle East political debate. Her essays have circulated widely and she has participated in some notable television appearances on Al-Jazeera and CNN.

Her remarks set off debates around the globe and her name began appearing in Arabic newspapers and Web sites. But her fame grew exponentially when she appeared on Al Jazeera again on Feb. 21, an appearance that was translated and widely distributed by the Middle East Media Research Institute, known as MEMRI, which said the clip of her February appearance had been viewed more than a million times. In May of 2006, Dr. Sultan was named as one of Time Magazine’s “100 People Who Shape Our World.”
