I agree but let us not forget another equally courageous woman in the battle against the terrorist cult, Islam - the great Bat Ye’or.

On a slightly tangential note - I wish more people would also recognize the efforts of Sir VS Naipaul - who has probably written the most balanced and even handed accounts of life in Islamic societies.

VS Naipul is an international treasure. Interestingly enough, my fave of his is “Miguel Street”, one of his earlier books about growing up in Trinidad.

I’ve read four or five of Naipauls books. He’s not afraid to offend people. He is always correct in his criticism and often very funny
