Ayaan Hirsi Ali will be a target of sincere Muslims as in their opinion she fights against the pure word of Allah. Allah's word never changes, nor does the life and example of his holy prophet

Dear Josephus,

Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been under constant threat
earning the enmity of reactionary Islamists.
It will be interesting to see just who will
be protesting her in Australia and how large
the protests will be. Hopefully the police will
be out in full force and have things under control.

Foxy, "Especially, on why Islam needs a Reformation now"

You don't sound so sure. Perhaps you could report back, 'Did you encounter any arguments and facts that might have swayed your opinion in that respect?'.

After all, it isn't as though other posters haven't been kind and reached out by posting videos and print versions of Ayaan Hirsi Ali's many interviews over the years.

It is not only about terrorist murders. Some do try to frame it that way.

But what about whether young schoolgirls should be forced to wear the confining and discriminatory garb of their mothers? The boys don't have any such limitations. 'Sexist!', an outraged feminist would howl if it wasn't Muslim and 'multicultural'.

My reference in a previous post was to Ayaan Hirsi
Ali's book entitled :

"Heretic: Why Islam Needs A Reformation Now."

So naturally I stated that it would be interesting to see
what she has to say on the subject during her speaking
engagement here in Melbourne. As the link below tells us
in the book the author makes a powerful plea for a Muslim
Reformation as the only way to end the horrors of terrorism.

Not just terrorism. You missed some vital text.

Quoting from your source,

"Continuing her journey from a deeply religious Islamic upbringing to a post at Harvard, the brilliant, charismatic and controversial New York Times and Globe and Mail #1 bestselling author of Infidel and Nomad makes a powerful plea for a Muslim Reformation as the only way to end the horrors of terrorism, sectarian warfare and the repression of women and minorities"

That last bit, "and the repression of women and minorities" is important one might have thought.

The 'Progressive' feminist elite may think otherwise of course.

I have great respect for her.

Read her books.

They couldn't be more timely or significant.
