"I dare wager my life, Hirsi Ali, that when you read this letter you will break out into a sweat of fear."

A woman of great courage, perhaps she should consider lapsing a litte further away from Islam before they kill her.

Hello.... NOW... Are you there?

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

you WONT see any outrage by NOW. It doesnt have anything to do with Bush or the conservatives. Can you say 'SELECTIVE MORAL OUTRAGE'. Which makes NOW that much less credible.

The daughter of a Somali politician, Hirsi Ali, 35, was a U.N. translator before fleeing an arranged marriage and seeking asylum in the Netherlands in 1992.

She was elected to Parliament in 2002.

This is the kind or person I want coming to my country as an immigrant seeking political asylum. Looks like she has fought a long battle, given a weapon I'd like to see here be around for a while.

Not the low lifes that sleeze into my country under the mexican border coyotes guidance!

And your point is??? I have absolutely no use for Nags (now)...This is not a racial, or sexual, issue. This is a woman being attacked by the religion of peace, who want her dead! I support a person who supports freedom, what was it that makes you think she would do anything associated with NOW?

The point is that NOW would never condemn Mohammedanism, because that is the latest "chic" ideology circulating among Western Leftists.

At least some Europeans are waking up to the diabolical scourge Mohammedanism is.

Sadly, we in the US are far behind them in that regard.

Hirsi Ali has described herself as a lapsed Muslim, and says Islam needs modernizing.

It needs more than that, much more.

It needs to be replaced in the hearts of Muslims by the Good News of Jesus Christ. A reworking of a modernized false Islam in the same old wineskin just isn't going to do the job.

Ms. Ali was one of the unfortunate recepients of one of those barbaric "female circumsicisions." Allah Akbar!!

Yup...

"Islam...you ARE the weakest link...Goodbye"

[weenie]

Allah Akbar!! = Allah Fubar!!!

Van Gogh has already assumed greater fame in death than he ever might have wished for in life.
His death was a great crime and his murderer should be drawn and quartered in the public square and buried with a pig. But Van Gogh was an "artiste" who felt free to blaspheme Christianity, Judaiism and Islam.

[Tribune7]

you WONT see any outrage by NOW.

IIRC, Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan went to Iran after the revolution to campaign for women rights, and left in tears. NOW people, like most lefties, are cowards.

[Luigi Vasellini]

thats too bad cuz she's a hotty!!

[montag813]

This woman has been one of my heroes for the past 3 years. God protect her, I pray.

[cyborg]

I would buy her book if it was translated into english.

[Randjuke]

She's got more balls than most politicians on either side of the aisle over here.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali plans a new film criticizing Islamic culture, despite the murder of her collaborator, filmmaker Theo van Gogh, and despite receiving death threats herself

The Netherlands needs her more than we do. Their small population makes them more vulnerable to the first generation invasion...

Still have to go see or rent that first film.

Was she a victim of the abuse they perform on women before she "lapsed"?
