Author and former Dutch Parliamentarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali argues that political tolerance of radical Islam threatens the security of liberal, secular values in the Netherlands and other European countries.

-----

Seeking a New Global Order: The Viability of Hope featuring Ayaan Hirsi Ali in conversation with David A. Harris.

Former Dutch Member of Parliament and author of Infidel Ayaan Hirsi Ali has a conversation with American Jewish Committee Executive Director David A. Harris about her life's journey from being raised a devout Muslim to leaving her religion and seeking asylum in the Netherlands.

They cover issues of tolerance, freedom of expression, and how Muslim immigrants integrate into western culture.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is an outspoken defender of women's rights in Islamic societies, Ms. Hirsi Ali was born in Mogadishu, Somalia. She escaped an arranged marriage by immigrating to the Netherlands in 1992, and served as a member of the Dutch parliament from 2003 to 2006.

In parliament, she worked on furthering the integration of non-Western immigrants into Dutch society, and on defending the rights of women in Dutch muslim society. In 2004, together with director Theo van Gogh, she made Submission, a film about the oppression of women in conservative Islamic cultures.

David Harris is executive director of the American Jewish Committee, a leading global advocacy organization. Harris is a widely recognized and quoted specialist on international affairs. The author of six books, Harris has written scores of articles in leading newspapers and magazines, has a weekly commentary on the CBS radio network, and is a frequent contributor to the Jerusalem Post blog. He has been honored by the Bulgarian, French, German, Latvian and Polish governments.

  • Ignoramuses like MaskedMarvyl musn't understand plain english. Ms Ali speaks openly and honestly from a position of great knowledge and experience but all MM can offer is a worn, parroted, groupthink response to the world's greatest ill. Yawn? Typical of an indoctrinated zombie in a constant state of comatose.

    I remember Ms Ali telling a liberal TV host that lefties spit on their freedom because they don't know what it's like not to have freedom.

    Stupid is as stupid does.

  • Perhaps you intentionally seek to confuse the issue raised, so I'll spell it out. Islam, Marxism and Facism are totalitarian by nature. Hitler had two divisions of islamic soldiers in WW2 (supporting his cause) and the Modern Left in the West align themselves with islam for political purposes, ie to destroy Christianity & Capitalism. History and Politics are not your strong suits, so take heed of your own moniker and educate yourself. Islamic group think has done you no favors and it shows.

  • kk hoer stfu deze bitch gaat branden

  • @muzzster1970

    Marxists and Nazis ?

    Marxists are against religion in general, nazis only accept white people

    you're so confused

  • @ignoranceisbad Your "religion" has been exposed for the vile, hateful and repressive cult it really is (little wonder Marxists, and formerly Nazis, have joined forces with islam) and you can't face the truth. My parasite? You tube is free, save electricity. Your last paragraph is pure projection. It's islam that forbids objectivity and freedom of thought/actions (down to which foot enters a toilet 1st). There's only one place the Satanic verses are taking you and that's to hell.

  • @muzzster1970

    well by what you're saying, I can see she hasn't taught you anything relevant

    What I meant by the job comment, is that all this attention is keeping her busy, but since you brought it up in a parasite context, she's essentially your parasite, she lives off of people like you

    you and hirsi seem to have something in common, which is that you're thinking is not objective, rather its driven by hatred, so be careful where it takes you

  • @ignoranceisbad Following a Satanic death cult is about as gullible as one can be. Yes, Ms Hirsi Ali likes our attention because she is trying to educate the West on the cancer that is islam. Please don't accuse her of not working. Muslims are the biggest welfare parasites in the Western world. Anyhow, I prefer to listen to Robert Spencer, especially when he wipes the floor with muslim scholars with his superior knowledge of islam. Thank God for Jihad Watch.

  • @fromwilliams You find it necessary to scream in order to make a point about the "screaming hate". BWAHAHAHAHA! Hmmm, I think you're projecting. You appear obsessed with Ms Hirsi Ali. Maybe you're just in love!

  • @muzzster1970

    she doesn't have a position of great knowledge and experience, she just likes your attention and gullibility

    what experience ? I lived in a Muslim country for 9 years, I never heard of these ideas

    by the way, I don't think she even has a job considering her book was a bestseller, and she spends all her time on talk shows or whatever

  • well SECULAR is the key word. islam judaism and christianity and all other religions are not SECULAR hence not tolerant .... lets hope over time that islam will go the way of christianity .. to th sidelines ... and secular laws will prevail .. i very much doubt it but lets hope ...
