If this incomplete ayaan hirsi wants fame sooo much then she shouldn’t use religion as a base to be known. Some people justify their in justifications by selling their souls to the devil, ayaan I’m sure u have taken the time to read the bible. Do tell me it’s stance on woman comparing to men...
I would like to be judged on the validity of my arguments, not as a victim.
European children are educated in a narrative of human tolerance every day, and if you want to be sure to prevent a backlash, you should at least think of bringing Muslim children and teenagers into the fold of that narrative of tolerance.
We who don’t want radical Islam to spread must compete with the agents of radical Islam. I want to see what would happen if Christians, feminists and Enlightenment thinkers were to start proselytizing in the Muslim community.
You have to let individuals make their own choices and respect that, even if it’s your own child. And that’s what was taken away from me. My father passed away thinking I still had to go back to his way of believing.

I’d love to go and visit the Mosque in Mecca again, just for the sheer beauty of it, not for God – much the way a non-Catholic might go to Vatican City because of the beauty of the buildings and the artifacts.
We must reclaim and retake feminism from our fellow idiotic women.
I talk about a Christianity that is enlightened enough to separate spirituality from the rest of life. Not just church and state, but knowledge and church.
They decided to let immigrants in and I am an immigrant. They gave us a chance to participate in this country’s life and I took it.
No one in the American Enterprise imposes their beliefs. We clash, and I think that’s what the West is all about.
My conscience is informed by reason. It’s like Kant’s categorical imperative: behave to others as you would wish they behaved to you.
I would rather clean than beg.
But without doubts, without a standpoint reached through questionings, human beings can’t acquire knowledge.
Drinking wine and wearing trousers were nothing compared to reading the history of ideas.
I grew up in Somalia, in Saudi Arabia, in Ethiopia, and in Kenya. I came to Europe in 1992, when I was 22, and became a member of Parliament in Holland.
I assume the closest members of my family don’t actually want to kill me, but the truth is that I have shamed and hurt them; they have to deal with the outrage that my public statements cause, and undoubtedly some members of my clan do want to kill me for that.
I want people to emphasize life before death as opposed to life after death.
