Christine Cutler commented on this video
I think Asra shows amazing courage and strenght getting the true message about her faith and her desire to to have a oppurtunity to show the world the importance of speaking the truth
she is a woman who is willing to stand up and work at making the world better for all women

I continue to pray for Asra and hope that she will be embraced and accepted by all who
share a desire to live in a faithful way.
