#1 This belongs in opinion - sorry.

#2 Having experienced life circumscribed by tribal and religious communities (as a girl she suffered the genital mutilation called female circumcision), she is a fierce partisan of individualism against collectivism.

No wonder she is so implaccable. Some medical institute needs to offer her free experimental treatment to surgically regrow nerve tissue using stem cells.

Welcome to America, Ms. Hirsi, I'm certain you will become a valuable and contributing member of our society.

#3 ...she is writing a book that imagines Muhammad meeting, in the New York Public Library, three thinkers -- John Stuart Mill, Friedrich Hayek and Karl Popper, each a hero of the unending struggle between (to take the title of Popper's 1945 masterpiece) ''The Open Society and Its Enemies.'' Islamic extremists will be enraged. She is unperturbed.

She certainly knows who to read. I have no doubt her book will be a fascinating and worthy read.

#4 Someone should get Van Gogh's Submission on MYTUBE for the entire Western World to see. If the folks in the media/film industry had any integrity they'd all put out copies as a show of defiance at the most barbaric attempt at censorship yet.

#5 If the folks in the media/film industry had any integrity

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

[Amusement bordering with hilarity]

If pigs could fly...

#7 (the Europeans) "believe that caring governments can socialize everyone to behave well, thereby erasing personal accountability and responsibility"

The great experiment failed. Time to find another experiment.

She's so cool.


Appreciate the sentiment, Zenster, but stem cell research has been losing investors (in droves) to the more promising cord blood research. None of it will be in time for Ms. Ali. But if you're interested, there are many groups working within Somalia and other countries to stop FGM (Female Genital Mutilation).

#9 "No wonder she is so implaccable. Some medical institute needs to offer her free experimental treatment to surgically regrow nerve tissue using stem cells."

Actually I think that might be putting the cart before the horse. They need to study her spine and see if they can surgically grow more because many folks in the West seem to be lacking one and hers is strong as iron.

If I were a Dutchie I'd vote for her.

#10 Hope she didn't hang around Georgetown too long. More leftist donks up there than the whole of Holland.

#11 A little exposure to Mevrouw Ali's tart, no holds barred conversation would certainly improve the quality of thinking, and the dropped jaws improve the quality of conversation, in that little corner of the world, Besoeker.
