Ayaan Hirsi Ali explains her support of missionary groups who seek to convert Muslims to Christianity, despite her personal identification as an atheist. "If we don't compete, we run the risk of living in a global order where the radical Muslims win the hearts and minds simply because there's no one else competing with them," she argues.

A vocal and prominent critic of Islam, Ali has been celebrated and criticised for her work and writings.

Named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine in 2005, her memoir Infidel has been praised as profoundly affecting and powerful.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is an outspoken defender of women's rights in Islamic societies. 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.

She grew up in Islamic Somalia, was tortured and escaped death like many other people who were victims of the evil satanic sharia.

If Jezus was not crucified than Mohammed never existed either... maybe I should even doubt the existence of Julius Caesar.

Josephus wrote down military and governemental reports from the period of Jezus.

His knowledge was objective since it came from Roman military data. Those were eyewitnesses to the crucifixtion of course.

Its like an actual journalist making notes from anciënt military reports from World War II. So writing in a more readable form what witnesses reported.

[josephbel]

I know Josephus was not a Christian, he wrote about Jesus from what he learned about Jesus and that is why I said that he was not a an eyewitness to the crucifiction. All those who wrote about Jesus being crucified were never eyewitnesses to that event. Even today, such testimony will not be accepted in any court.

[mivdschu]

He was not a christian, so he must have been objective while describing history. Give me your link to the original scripture from Josephus Flavius.
