Ayaan Hirsi Ali: We Have Been Subverted

The Free Press ^ | 4 June 2024 | Ayaan Hirsi Ali

[Rummyfan]

What is at stake in our ability to see the threat plainly? Nothing less than the preservation of our way of life.

If you wonder why I—a woman of color, an African, a former Muslim, a former asylum seeker, and an immigrant—look at the antics of today’s anti-Israel, anti-American protesters with such fear and trembling, allow me to explain.

I was born in Somalia in 1969. The country had achieved independence nine years before. But less than a month before I was born—on October 21, 1969—a junior member of the brand-new Somali armed forces seized power with the help of the Soviet Union. The first two decades of my life were shaped by the upheaval that followed that coup.

The Somalia that gained its independence was a young, optimistic society full of national pride. We had such hope for growth, political stability, prosperity, and peace. But, in a story sadly familiar to many of my fellow Africans, those hopes were dashed.

What followed was a nightmare.

[Rummyfan]

The question, of course, is who is doing the subverting. Who is trying to unravel America and the West?

Again, I am feeling only my part of the elephant, but I can discern at least three forces.

The first: American Marxists. This category includes old card-carrying communists, red-diaper baby socialists, antifa anarchists, and many of whom we now call woke. Though the Soviet Union collapsed decades ago, the Soviet worldview has found familiar proponents: young Americans and their professors. They are no longer advancing their cause merely through class struggle, but through the fusion of racial, class, and anticolonial struggles. Theirs is now a cultural communism; they lead subversion through the institutions with the ultimate aim of overthrowing the West.

As you say, first, American Marxists (backed by Globalists). Second, American Muslims (encouraged by Globalists).

[Rummyfan]

When, on October 8, protests erupted across the Western world in support of Hamas—and not the democracy that had been overrun by terrorists—I saw the revolution. When I look at the recent spectacle at Columbia or Yale or UCLA or Harvard or Stanford—students tearing down American flags and raising Palestinian ones; or chanting in Arabic “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”—it is hard not to see the fruit of this long process. I hear the same when, week after week, the streets of London, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Hamburg ring with cries of “intifada” or open demands for a caliphate or Sharia law in the heart of Europe.

“...anticolonial struggles....”

Islam is at the forefront of being a Colonist Power.

Who is struggling against Islam?

From the ‘70’s: “You can’t hold back the Dawn.” This is what the young want and they’re going to get it. Every year they control more of the levers of power. I’m glad I’m old.

[b4me]

at least one lady from Somalia gets it, unlike the one who said “some people did some thing” on 9-11 and just wants to see the US destroyed.

[aquila48]

“Islam is at the forefront of being a Colonist Power.”

And they’ve been at it for 1400 years.

They started as backward little enclave in Saudi Arabia and have taken over most of Africa, a big chunk of Asia, pieces of Europe and their march continues in Europe and the Americas.

They are relentless, patient, ruthless, and have the power of their conviction. They also have 72 virgins waiting for extra motivation.

Whereas, all that Christians have nowdays is an inexhaustible supply of “other cheeks”.

[jpp113]

An interesting aside - the arabic word for white grapes is the same as virgin. And Look up pictures of Saladin’s Tomb. You will see 72 white grapes painted on the outside, not 72 nubile young virgins.

[Paladin2]

ll that Christians have nowdays is an inexhaustible supply of “other cheeks”.

And Marxist Popes...

[fso301]

The question, of course, is who is doing the subverting. Who is trying to unravel America and the West?

Add to that whoever is doing the same to Western Europe. No chance that identical processes taking place on both continents are coincidences.

We don’t hear enough from this gal or the others anymore who were prominent in our country after they stood up to the religion they were raised in and tortured under. They all spoke up and wrote books several years ago...Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Brigitte Gabriel and Noni (can’t remember her last name).. I think they became prominent after 9/11. I had all their books but it was time for me to start cleaning things out so they went to St. Vincent de Paul..hundreds of favorites but you can’t take them with you..

Thanks for posting...

[Thank You Rush]

This is the other one whose last name I couldn’t remember...

They all wrote great books and as far as I know they are all still active - I know for sure Brigitte Gabriel is along with Hirsi Ali...all with such interesting stories...

*Sigh* Just when I was hitting my stride.
They said it couldn’t happen here. But here we are. Plan B
