"In Ayaan Hirsi Ali sweeps, as beautiful as she is reputedly brilliant..."

[Knitting A Conundrum]

That title needs to be printed up as a bumper sticker and splashed everywhere!

This brave woman tells truths that liberals hate (liberals hate truth - one wonders why they are always claiming to "speak truth to power" - a bit of bitter irony there). Typical of the mainstream British press to claim that she's too strident to court those "liberals" she should be trying to win over. Liberals are soft on Islamic fascism, just like they coddled the Communists. Welcome to America, Ms. Ali!

[Alama]

What a shame that Europe treated her like this!

[ncountylee]

as a child she suffered clitoral circumcision

Has NOW or groups of that ilk ever denounced the ROP?

[Zeppo]

She is a curious mix, Ali. Her hardline image has won her a job at a right-wing think tank. But her critique of Muslim immigrants is a liberal one

Nonsense. She "gets it". The author of the article clearly doesn't. To the author, everything "liberal" is goodness and light, while right-wingers are Neanderthals. What a foolish attitude. Being "liberal" these days is the antithesis of being tolerant, at least when it comes to tolerating individual liberty, differences of opinion, independent thought instead of group-think, and reason. The only tolerance that liberals typically evidence is a tolerance of filth, lies, and treason, as long as it it compatible with their narrow orthodoxies and childish worldviews. There's not a chance that she would have been invited to join a liberal American think tank.
