Must-Read Interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali
She recently left the United States because the Dutch Parliament refused to continue to pay for her (absolutely necessary) security detail while she was here. She's gone back to the Netherlands but is having to hunker down in some kind of safe house, hidden away from the world. While she was here she needed security but was able to move about freely. Now she's a prisoner of her own infamy amongst radical Muslims...an indictment against the movement if there ever was one.
Reason Magazine has a great interview that anyone who is serious about fighting Islamofascism should read. Here's a snippet:
Hirsi Ali: I think that we are at war with Islam. And there’s no middle ground in wars. Islam can be defeated in many ways. For starters, you stop the spread of the ideology itself; at present, there are native Westerners converting to Islam, and they’re the most fanatical sometimes. There is infiltration of Islam in the schools and universities of the West. You stop that. You stop the symbol burning and the effigy burning, and you look them in the eye and flex your muscles and you say, “This is a warning. We won’t accept this anymore.” There comes a moment when you crush your enemy.
Reason: Militarily?
Hirsi Ali: In all forms, and if you don’t do that, then you have to live with the consequence of being crushed.
Reason: Are we really heading toward anything so ominous?
Hirsi Ali: I think that’s where we’re heading. We’re heading there because the West has been in denial for a long time. It did not respond to the signals that were smaller and easier to take care of. Now we have some choices to make. This is a dilemma: Western civilization is a celebration of life—everybody’s life, even your enemy’s life. So how can you be true to that morality and at the same time defend yourself against a very powerful enemy that seeks to destroy you?
The link for the whole article is here. And for those of you who missed it the first time around, here's video of her interview with a moonbat from the Great White North back in July. The woman is brilliant, and possesses the kind of insight into the problems Islam poses that even our best Western experts cannot match.

It's a very sad day when someone can't stay in this country because we can't keep them safe from Muslims.
