The audio’s a little rough, but thanks and kudos to the fine gent who did us all a public service by recording it. He writes, “I shook her hand, dude.” I’m jealous.

Here’s the page at the Kennedy School about her appearance; note the prominent disclaimer. And here’s our previous post about the talk. Follow the links for descriptions.

The hardcover price at Amazon has dropped to $11.97, by the way.

Update: Many thanks to Sugiero, who’s been a one-man gang in getting the video word out about Hirsi Ali, for tipping us to this clip of her being interviewed on Swedish TV.

Also at YouTube, here’s the Norwegian TV interview that was recently featured at LGF. If you haven’t watched it yet, do so now.

Here’s Part 1. The very beginning is in Norwegian, but the rest is in English:

And Part 2:

Update: Sugiero comes through again with twenty minutes of video from Danish TV. I haven’t watched yet, but he says this one’s a barnburner.

Meanwhile, on both Fox and Friends and the Today show, America gets to meet this fool.

Yay, feminism. God help us all.

Pablo, what is it exactly that makes you come to the conclusion that Ms. Ali is a fool? I agree with her that men to not have any right, god given or man given, to subjugate anyone for any reason. We fought a Civil War in this country to begin to establish just that point. That it took almost another hundred years to make it law for both blacks and women to have “equal opportunity” in this country was a great step forward for mankind. That the opportunists turned “equal opportunity” into a victimization mentality not only for African-Americans and women but anyone not white, has caused that leap of faith of mankind to be diminished, but not dead.

We cannot go gently into the dark Pablo, because if we do, then when they come for us, we will only have fear and terror to feel before our death!

sharinlite, I was not referring to Ms. Hirsi Ali, who is a personal hero of mine.

The fool I was referring to lies behind the link and is the author of “Everything I need to know about men I learned from my dog.”

Claire Staples is the idiot that the MSM felt we needed to hear from this morning, along with the girls from Facts of Life. My comment goes to the pathetic priorities of the AM Hairdos.

Those of us who are watching Ayaan are watching history in the making.

I agree with Pablo, Ms. Ali will remembered throughout history as a brave woman who confronted an evil ideology that tried to destroy her. Let’s pray she lives a long and healthy life, the world needs her. Tell your grandkids you remember her when they’re doing their history homework.

God bless Ms. Ali and may she be the Martin Luther of islam.

My bad Pablo. What I get for being at LAX the night before.
I apologize. Did the link thing and saw my mistake.

I’ve spent the night at LAX. I totally get it. ;-)
