H&C > why isn’t AHA a regular? So much more to offer than say… ohhh…. Kirsten Powers for example.
First of all, do you think AHA is that easy to get a hold of? We’re trying to schedule an interview with her but it’s not like she can just pop over for coffee given her security situation. Second, why you got to be hating on KP?

I was just testing the AP to KP infatuation level. Seems high. Of course, I feel the same way. She’s the only one worth becoming a liberal for.

Ow she’s a Brick—–house,
She’s mighty mighty, just lettin’ it all hang out
She’s a brick—–house, that lady’s stacked, and that’s a fact,
Ain’t holdin’ nothin’ back, ow she’s a brick—–house,
Yeah she’s the one, the only one,
Built like an Amazon. :)

It is a shame MM & KP have such a hard time getting a word in edgewise with papa Bill. Oh well. Back the your regular programming.

Profit, I think you may be confusing AHA with Irshad Manji, but point well taken anyway.

God bless her, and keep her safe!!

In Hirsi Ali’s case, her father had instructed her mother not to circumcise their daughters because, having studied in America, he had decided to reject the whole clan principle. But when her grandmother heard about this she was appalled and it was organised while her mother was away, when Hirsi Ali was about five. “As a child it is something you are proud of,” Hirsi Ali says. “I remember the celebrations. I remember the goodies and the gifts. And I remember being caught by these two women – one of them my grandmother. But they couldn’t find a woman to do it. They found a man, and fortunately for those girls circumcised by men, it’s much milder. So I wasn’t circumcised in the way that I should have been.”

Despite his opposition to female circumcision, Hirsi Ali’s father, on his return from the US, contracted his daughter to marry a cousin living in Canada. “My father had been away for 11 years,” Hirsi Ali laughs. “Who did he think he was, marrying me off? But because I also love and admire my father, I spoke to the man he wanted me to marry, and I asked him what kind of life we were going to have together. And he said, ‘Well, you’re going to have six sons for me.’ And I told my father I didn’t want this, and he said he couldn’t go back on his word.” When Hirsi Ali refused to attend, they carried out the ceremony without her. “Clan members came together, papers were signed, and I was married.”

That, very nearly, was Hirsi Ali’s life settled. The only problem was how to get her into Canada, and the solution was to go via a cousin in Germany, who could organise the papers. Hirsi Ali spent two nights in Germany and then, on a whim, bolted. She took a train to the Netherlands, and walked out on her husband, her family and her culture.

Sounded like a cross between sadistically and jihad, as I thought about the slaughter of Theo Van G., thus fitting.

The extreme-Leftists like Mr. C. must also fear her because she’s not only telling the hard truth about the soft-headed Religion of Peace, but she’s supposed to be one of their iconic types as well.

All of their prejudices implode in the face of a courageous gay Black female who dares to faces down the intolerant impulses of resurgent Imperialistic Islam.

Her jihadistically-murdered colleague (co-maker of the short film “Submission”) Theo Van Gogh, must be laughing from the afterlife.

She goes on to note that in all communities where the veil is actively observed boys are not taught to restrain themselves. ‘They look upon all those who are not veiled as women who are looking for sexual contact and they just go about molesting and being a nuisance.’

Thanks to the Left, this concept of self-control is being whittled away … It’s a bad, bad combination, Left licentiousness with Muslim refusal to take personal responsibilitynaliaka on February 6, 2007 at 10:58 AM

The left doesn’t understand that big government can not protect you from individuals run amok, only a culture of personal responisbility can.

This wonderful woman is the reason why I started speaking out on the plight of women in the Islamic world. She burst onto the world stage after the death of Theo Van Gogh at the hands of a “Muslim extremist”. Van Gogh was murdered for producing……

USA, all the way!

Why do idiot liberals want to love Islam so much? Because they are terrified to face the truth about it?

In a poll published last week, one in three British Muslims in the 16-24 age group agreed that ‘Muslim conversion is forbidden and punishable by death’.

The Brits are in so much trouble.

I was very pleased to see a brief appearance on Hannity and Colmes by the extremely brave Ayaan Hirsi Ali, an Islamic “apostate” who has had the cajones to take on the beast of Islamism head on. As Allahpundit notes on Hot Air, Ali was only on for a….

Was it the end of show shortage of time?
or the ‘religion of peace and only a very few are bad’ mantra? He has said this on his radio, but I thought it was PC.
.
.Maybe PC/Fox has him hamstrung on the ‘majority of islam is basically flawed in this millennium’ and he couldn’t pursue it further???

That’s true bravery.

/sarc

But Ayaan really IS brave, to speak out against these headchoppin’ savages.

When I read that it hit me even stronger how so few of us really know what deep fear truly feels like.
Bless you Ayaan Hirsi.
