Here's Robert Spencer's take on a interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali. We should all heed what Ayaan has to say.
FROM JIHADWATCH.ORG:
Hirsi Ali: "The problem is not going to go away. Confront it, or it's only going to get bigger."
Reason magazine, the dhimmi publication that has attacked Jihad Watch several times, has published in its current print issue an interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali. I haven't seen it, and was not planning on commenting on it until it appeared online -- which is always a few weeks after it appears in print. However, so many people have been sending me this discussion of some elements of the interview by Rod Dreher, and since Ayaan Hirsi Ali is in the news, I thought I'd post this now.
The new issue of Reason contains a lengthy interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the brave apostate Muslim who fled the Netherlands and now lives in the US. Alas, it's not yet online, but it's definitely in a Baweresque vein. She pulls absolutely no punches. Like Bawer, she too blames the West for its craven passivity in the face of a violent threat. And she won't have any of the false equivalence among Abrahamic religions.
Though she is now an atheist and wishes everyone would be, she said that if people have to accept God, she would rather that they become Jewish or Catholic because both religions have a much more humane concept of God than "the fire-breathing Allah who inspires jihadism and totalitarianism."
