From the article:
Lewis was, apparently, incredulous that anyone could be as stringently critical of Islam as Hirsi Ali, and appeared doubly perplexed that the person in front of him spouting what he considers “Islamophobia” is a black woman. He challenged Hirsi Ali’s unremarkable statement that Islam is the only religion that threatens liberal democracy today, pointing south to the United States as the prime example of a country where “evangelical Christianity has ascended to the highest ranks of power, where conservative social values drawn and justified by the Bible are imposed upon people every day.” Lewis didn’t not stop there. “North American Muslims really feel under siege these days,” he informs Hirsi Ali. (How Muslims feel under the rule of the Saudi monarchy or the Mullahs in Iran is something Lewis doesn’t bother to consider.)
So a refugee from an chaotic Islamic country is somehow less qualified to speak on the state of Islam in the US then some white bread Canadian media twit sitting safely in his studio?
What bothers me about that is Lewis more than likely feels justified in saying that because he “feels” that he is the intellectual superior to this Muslim Woman.
The old proverb is quite true:
“Trust the experienced, not the learned”
And it's all because of what evangelical Christians did on 9/11!
