Ayaan Hirsi Ali speaks at the National Press Club

[@gerald1011]

Ayaan knows the truth about Islam. She learned the hard way.

[@syb2965]

What are you babbling about?

[@2sridhark]

Muslims are unable or unwilling to fight an idea intellectually. There is a muslim writer from Bangladesh Taslima Nasreen who wrote a book (Lajja which in Bengali means: Shame) about the way minority (Hindu) women were treated in Bangladesh and was critical of Mohammad in that book, she was immediately thrown out of that country. She found refuge in India but even there muslim minorities created a lot of problems for her. I believe she is in US today. Salman Rushdie of "Satanic Verses" fame was prevented from reading a passage from that book at a book festival in India some years ago by the muslim clergy. His book is banned in India, a Hindu majority country, which until now had a governement that sucked up to the minorities. It did not occur to the muslims that they could write another book to counter either Rushdie or Nasreen. They knew only one way of protest: the barbaric 7th century way sanctioned in their holy book: threaten or kill.

Ayaan represents the best Muslim possible. Ex Muslim.

[@yokopaul-ishii6385]

Everyone who thinks Islam is a religion of peace should listen to this amazing and brave lady.

[@MullinsTheRapper]

It is a real glowing achievement of both Ayaan and civilization itself that she has been able to come from the depths of Islamic hell to become the incredible figurehead for freedom and intellectual integrity that she is today. Malala's brain may have beaten a bullet, but Ayaan's beat Allah!

[@judytaggerty6108]

God Bless and Protect Ayaan Hirisi Ali for speaking up and telling the truth, in hopes that the Free World will wake up. From research and the information gathered around the world her facts are valid. She needs to talk to our President, but we know he would not allow the truth to come out to the American people, as he protects Islam. Wake up America.

[@bonifacioaba2639]

No wonder since Obama, the former president is a muslim. Today, after the 9-11 incident, President Trump won't let this violent extremist get away from their gradual encroachment to the West.

I pray our up coming Somali Generation in the west survive this severe devil conspiracy....ALLAHUMMA AMIN

[@motorcop505]

rahma ahmed God/Allah is the very best. Mohammed was in no way a prophet though! He was a sex-crazed pedophile who created his pseudo-religion just to fool people into following him and to get him anything he wanted. Even Aisha commented that Allah sure was quick to grant him anything he wanted, especially regarding women. Islam is morally bankrupt. Anyone who is caught up in it should leave and never look back. No good will come of staying in that corrupt “faith.” Women especially should have absolutely nothing to do with it.

[@VictorynHarmony]

I love Ayaan for her commitment to human rights and her outspokeness towards women's rights. But bcos America gave you asylum does not mean u ought to dance around the question of what she is doing wrong.. Going to Iraq was part of the reasons we have all these violence today...We had no reason being there. America MUST re-examine her foreign policies... Pls watch John Perkin"s confession of an economic hit man and the secret history of the American empire. Keep up the good work Ayaan.

[@balu508]

She is towering figure, a revolutionary visionary n guide to entire mankind. Her life is hugely important n it's duty of everybody to to protect her, although she may not worry for her life. In India such women are equated with Zanshi ki Rani or Goddess

[@chicacbs]

She has suffered a lot- that is why she left Islam. Her own family used religion to hurt her.

Why does she keep calling Muhammad a prophet if she is not a Muslim? *[EDIT]* It was *NOT* a *random man* who said she burned a Quran. It was a Muslim cleric in a mosque who said this, then people from the mosque came out and lynched her ... Why is she doing this for? Twisting what really happened?

[@adwaye]

Biftu Nure Islam sucks! Stop holding people hostage in your death cult. Prophet muhammed is a mass murderer and pedophile. May piss be upon him.

[@A100Aic]

You are disappointing. She speaks truth

[@2sridhark]

Biftu Nure Yes, if you are a obedient muslim woman and do everything you are told, you are fine. If you grow old and your husband marries somebody much younger (and he is allowed to marry 4 times), you shall not protest. If you are doing all this, of course you are happy. The problem is: Islam needs to reform to present times. Muslims happily embrace new technology like the cell phones, TV etc etc which are all western but if a woman who is now in the West has something to say from her own experience, muslims have a problem! Grow up and learn to be rational, free thinker.

you flow this short world and u forget hear after subxanalah my allh guide you islam is the relegion of peace alxmlulah am muslim my allh guide you all of you

[@kouswa]

Ayan Hirsi Ali can be approved only by people who are against Islam anyway. She is just saying anything that can please the audience. Genital mutilation has never been an Islamic practice. ISLAM FORBID ANY KIND OF BODY MUTILATION. She has been mutilated not because she was muslim but because in Africa and in Asia genital mutilation is a tradition a common practice and by the way it is more common in Christian African countries like Ethioipia, Kenya, and many central african countries that are mostly christian. Get informed before being fooled.

[@kouswa]

Christina Arasmo Beymer You are taking a very bad reference. Bukhari who reported this hadith is an imam who showed up 200 years after the death of the prophet. All hadiths are not necessarily true since they have been collected by narration and there is not a single hadith that has been written before. Many hadiths are simply contradicting the quran. That is what needs to be reviewed in Islam. Genital mutilation for women is a tradition linked to culture in some place in the world and practiced by many countries and religions. Circumcision for men is the only one authorized for hygiene reason. Jesus has been circumcised 1 week after his birth. It's a long discussion about these hadiths and if you want to know more I will be happy to tell you more.

[@christinarasmobeymer]

Peter Kouswa You made many absolute statements "AHA can only be approved by people who are against Islam anyway. She is just saying anything..." These are inaccurate. Violent hadiths, such as the one which quotes Mohammed approving of cutting, are accepted by some and the brand name "Islam" is placed upon them. How is a scared, fearful, adherent able to reject or question in the midst of everyone else saying they are true and threatening violence during life or hell after death? Since FGM is happening, sex slavery is happening, be-headings, AK-47s upon cartoonists, all these violent actions are made name of Islam, it's is part of Islam. Somewhere, and often you don't have to look far, the idea behind them is found in the founding documents. Most Muslims want to get along and live a happy life, that's obvious. Muslims are the biggest victims of this no-questions-allowed interpretation of their religion.

[@kouswa]

Where I disagree with AHA is when she talk about genital mutilation as the proper of Islam and she knows it's a practice in many culture and traditions. The other thing is when she pretend that Quran is written by a man. She was invited by Zakaria (see video) she suggested to Muslims to convert to Christianity because Jesus is cuddly. Now she is suggesting to reform Islam. How can an atheist who do not believe in God or any religion can reform a religion. Many contradictions in all her statements.

[@sleedolfine15]

Peter Kouswa I've read Ayaan Hirst Ali's books. I believe her. Ayaan does not deny that other religions practice genital mutilation,but she does believe that the size of Islam and its war against modernity where ever it exist makes it a special threat. Her belief that the Quran was written by a man rather than by a deity is not a pretence but the result of her atheism. Her advocacy for some muslims to convert to christianity is not a contradiction with that atheism. She would prefer that everyone--muslim and others, give up what she calls religious superstitution. However,being a realistic person,she understand that many people--muslim included,need spiritualism in their lives and,as such,she would prefer that that need be supplied by christianity and not by Islam. She believes that christianity, in the west,has been reformed by the Enlightenment and has gotton rid of its worst attributes whereas Islam is still a savage and primitive enemy of liberal modernity. Also,another reason why Ms. Ali would like to see western christianity compete with Islam for the allegiance of muslims is because only a religion--a better religion, can defeat another religion. Secularism can't do it. Besides christianity is wealthy enough to give Islam strong competition. Of course,islamacist will resort to violence,but they can be defeated.

[@kouswa]

She was muslim and left to become atheist. It's her right if she was not convinced. But reforming Islam as an atheist does not make sense. Atheist do not believe in any God and any religion. Reforms must come from inside and never from outside the religion. It's like Russia reforming US constitution. Promoting Christianity... why she didn't convert to it then? If she find christianity better. She is just trying to please the audience which is Christian mostly and make money out of it. For us Muslim she does not represent anybody but herself. So talking about reforms it's non sense. Islam is 1400 years old and violence appeared in the last 25 years. How come? If you don't link Islamic violence to what the West is doing in Islamic countries, you didn't understand anything and you are blind.

[@2sridhark]

IN Principle, I disagree with Ayaan about reforming Islam. That is not going to happen. Who is going to do it? Muslim prophet preempted such attempts when he said:he was the last Prophet. Anybody trying to seriously reform Islam faces death. Only thing that can happen is: countries if they are mature enough, can become secular. Like Turkey is. Like Bangladesh amazingly has become today. That only means:you still practice your religion but keep it out of public space. A difficult but not an impossible thing to do. I am also not so excited about Christianity coming to the rescue of Islam. West progressed not because of Christian values (as some people would like us to believe) but due to Science and Secularism. Science took man out of superstitions and made him rational with critical thinking. Science was a way out for many in the middle ages in Europe, out of clutches of the Church and its strict injunctions, heresies, witch hunting etc etc. Europe saw bloody wars, inquisitions, burning of so called "witches" etc by the Church. What liberated Europe was Science. Once Science made sure society prospered and enriched itself, even the Clergy fell in line. Church long held the view that world was flat and refused to believe anythingelse. Today they know the truth. Satellite pictures show earth, its shape, size and the fact that it revolves around the sun (not the other way round as believed by the Church). So, both the abrahamic religions: Islam, Chrisitianity are on the same boat. Latter could liberate itself from the clutches of the Church through Science. Former did have a period of enlightenment when Science shone like a bright light in places like Iraq, Syria but is today disconnected with it and is sinking in the quicksand of religious extremism due to lack of introspection, lack of ability to change with the times.

[@1wannabee1]

Ayaan simply states the problem that Islam, as practised'followed and lived to the letter of the Quran. She is making the statement that 'if' Islam was allowed to be reformed(by mooslems), then there 'may' be a chance for peace between it and the western world. YOU state that in YOUR opinion? this is NOT possible. If you are correct? and mooslems refuse to reform their religion and its intolerant beliefs? then the ONLY solution, the ONLY action that the situation MUST lead to? is WAR. There is NO other alternative
