@PleasureTV Thats your opinion, quite radical isn't it? Just know that Ayaan is the liar here! Do be blinded by that fool!!!

[PleasureTV]

@13dachronic Ok I don't care then. In the end All that matters is - All religions are bunch of liers and will be erased from the face of earth .

[13dachronic]

@PleasureTV LOL what do you mean? She clearly calls herself Christian? She aint atheist and she was NEVER muslim! Watch " Ayaan Hirshi Exposed" Its a four part documentary exposing the liar Ayaan Hirshi MEGAN who works for the neo-cons trying to destroy islam!

[PleasureTV]

@13dachronic Can you prove her Christian? since You know her past. Let us know what you know

[13dachronic]

@z120p really??? Then why do you support Ayaan. She is clearly a die-hard christian and if you do research on her past she was never a muslim. Also this so-called denial of human rights can be thanked upon the western governments. Who setup the dictatorships in the Middle-east??? Who wants the people of the middle-east oppressed, men and WOman??? America and the west.

[z120p]

@13dachronic Don't be an idiot. There's no lying to it anyway. Just look at the Muslim countries of the Middle East and Africa. All of them havens for the abuse of human rights... women, apostates, religious minorities, sexual minorities etc.  Religion gives the people of these regions a supposed divine excuse to take away from people that which should be theirs - fundamental human rights.

It's funny that all these people are saying she made it all up about living in Somalia. From the convincing nature of her story, as well as the evidence of her immigration I'm inclined to believe her, but honestly it makes little difference to me, because everything she says about Islam being a violent and bigoted religion would still be true. So the Muslims still fail. Losers.

[13dachronic]

@TheFestivelights We are not afraid of anything, matter of fact she aint even muslim and the reason she has 24 hour protection because she brought it upon herself. IF she was muslim then why does she have to make up lies and piss off radicals. She could have lived a normal life?. Wrong she was never muslim, she worked for the Dutch neo-con party to slam islam with childish lies. Dont believe this piece of shit liar.

[TheFestivelights]

@13dachronic So why has she been under 24 hour protection for years? Why is Islam so afraid of women who have a voice? What are you hiding?
