The Syrian-American psychiatrist and Middle East commentator Wafa Sultan will be among the delegates at the upcoming Secular Islam Summit.

On February 21, 2006, Dr. Sultan appeared on Al Jazeera's weekly discussion program "The Opposite Direction" to debate Dr. Ibrahim Al-Khouli. The New York Times estimated that the video of her appearance has been viewed at least one million times. In 2006 she was included in Time magazine's list of 100 influential people in the world "whose power, talent, or moral example is transforming the world."
