‘Wrong’ kind of hero: Why feminists diss Hirsi Ali
NY Post ^ | March 27, 2015 | Rich Lowry

Ayaan Hirsi Ali should be the perfect feminist hero.

In theory, she fits the role on multiple levels: She’s an escapee from an abusive patriarchy.

She’s an African immigrant who made her own way in a Western country, the Netherlands. She’s a fierce advocate for women’s rights.

She’s a target for deadly violence by angry men who want to shut her up. She left her religion and became a scourge of its repressive practices.

Except for the blemish on her record: Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a dissident from the wrong religion.

Raised a Muslim in Somalia, subjected to genital mutilation and married off to a distant cousin, she is famously a critic of Islam.

...

When she collaborated on a film in the Netherlands in 2004 cataloging abuses against Muslim women, her fellow filmmaker Theo van Gogh was assassinated by an Islamist who left a note threatening her pinned to van Gogh’s chest — with a knife.

But Hirsi Ali wouldn’t be silenced. She is truly a hero of our time. She is defying the jihadi censors, the misbegotten hate-speech laws and

...

Hirsi Ali recalls the dissidents from communism in the 20th century like the great Whittaker Chambers. Their personal experience redoubled their commitment to the fight for freedom and human dignity.

She doesn't fit the mold of the Democratic Plantation or the feminazi movement. So, like Sarah Palin, they will eviscerate her.

It’s because feminism with Hillary as their Gal is not what it seems to be.
Feminism is just a commie guize to gain control.
Same thing with the environmentalist movement, it has nothing to do with saving the environment, but rather to fulfill a political agenda.
Many do not know that it was Rockefeller and his money that started the modern day feminists movement.

Profound words. I saw her on tv a few days ago. She was really something to behold.

In his interview with her this week, “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart worried that “people single out Islam,” when Christianity underwent its own difficult reconciliation with modernity.

And how did that happen? By silencing dissent? Libs never think anything through.

Whittaker Chambers warned us in “Witness” in 52 or so: “...unless it (the world) faces the fact that the world, the whole world, is sick unto death, and that, among other things, this case (Hiss Case) has turned a finger of fierce light into the suddenly opened and reeking body of our time.” (we will be doomed).

As Chambers explains”They have always been different versions of the same vision: the vision of God and man’s relationship to God. The Communist vision is the vision of Man without God.”

To destroy the Christian Worldview—we have allowed the Marxist worldview to infect our culture and actually seize the minds of our children by “public” school “group think” which destroys critical thinking skills (Classical Education) and we have surrendered “culture” to the sodomite Hollywood group—so they can program the correct “emotions” into little children (satanic ones)-—to destroy Reason and Logic and Christian Virtues.

Without Virtue, we all become slaves to the State (the system of controls which were put in place 100 years ago). Slavery is Freedom and Vice is Virtue-—and as the nihilists stated, “God is Dead”.

"She doesn't fit the mold of the Democratic Plantation or the feminazi movement. So, like Sarah Palin, they will eviscerate her."

People far tougher than the RAT Plantationists and feminazies have tried that and she is still going. The truth is her shield and her weapon.

She’s adorable, along with being one of the BRAVEST persons alive (compare her to the Occupy Wall Street bunch, for example). Political Correctness is a HUGE BOAT to turn around, but she has possibly done more than any living person.

I figured Hillary’s views on women when she spoke in Beijing on women’s issues - a communist country where abortion is forced on women having a second child...

She is an inspiration. For leftists to disrespect her is obscene.
