As a bonus, here are some Muslim views on Sultana Freeman. Start with two threads at the To Submit community (1, 2) and one at the Islamic Feminista. These pretty well reflect the range of opinions I've seen at Muslim discussion boards. Some bloggers have taken the time to post their own thoughts, including Karen Hanson, Mistaken Identity (May 30 entry), Suzzy (May 28 entry), Umair Salam, Jabir (May 29 entry), and Aziz Poonawalla (May 27 entry). These bloggers are generally supportive of Freeman.
