    Research | Articles

    Ayaan Hirsi Ali And Asra Q. Nomani Respond To Readers

    Research | Articles | by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
    Friday, June 23, 2017

    Last week, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Asra Q. Nomani testified before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. During the hearing, they weren’t asked any questions about political Islam by the Democratic women on the panel — an experience they argue is emblematic of a troubling trend among progressives to overlook the brutal reality of Islamist extremism.

    Ayaan Hirsi Ali On Being Labeled An 'Extremist' By The Southern Poverty Law Center

    Research | Articles
    Friday, August 25, 2017
    Just about everyone is incensed over the Southern Poverty Law Center's recent list of who they deem to be "hate groups" in the United States. We've covered that misleading list extensively, helping to drag reputable groups like Alliance Defending Freedom and the Family Research Council out of the mud, not to mention churches who only made the list because they oppose gay marriage.

    Contrasting Two Disparate Somalis: Ilhan Omar & Ayaan Hirsi Ali

    Research | Articles
    Tuesday, July 30, 2019

    ay Greenberg, reporting in April 2019 in a column published by Neonnettle, said that, during an interview with a Middle Eastern magazine, Congressional Representative Ilhan Omar declared that living in “ugly” American society is “an everyday assault;” also adding that Omar claims that “every day” she is “threatened” and “demonized” due to the “ugliness” that she says is ingrained in the US populace.

    Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Islam’s Most Eloquent Apostate

    Research | Articles | by Tunku Varadarajan
    Friday, April 7, 2017

    The West’s obsession with ‘terror’ has been a mistake, she argues. Dawa, the ideology behind it, is a broader threat.

    Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Controversial Call to Arms

    Research | Articles | by Tunku Varadarajan
    Saturday, May 22, 2010

    In her new book, Nomad, Hirsi Ali tells of escaping to America and says the Muslim world needs a revolution in how it treats women and modernity. Tunku Varadarajan salutes her necessary and powerful words...

    Robbins: Rights Group Goes Astray On Hirsi Ali

    Research | Articles
    Tuesday, August 29, 2017

    What separates humans from other species, the late William F. Buckley Jr. admonished a sanctimonious college student in his office 40 years ago, “is the capacity to make distinctions.” With a White House as relentlessly repulsive as this one is and significant elements of American society willing to indulge conduct reminiscent of 1930’s fascists, it is perhaps a bad time to expect that people will make distinctions, and the capacity of some people to do so has eroded badly.

    Women Under Islam

    A feminist takes an unblinking look at gender repression in the Muslim world.

    Research | Articles
    Friday, February 10, 2017

    “I was a Muslim refugee once,” Ayaan Hirsi Ali declared this week in her response to President Donald Trump’s travel ban. “I know what it’s like. I know what it’s like to fear rejection, deportation and the dangers that await you back home.”

    Research | Articles | by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
    Tuesday, March 7, 2017

    Too many feminists in the West are reluctant to condemn cultural practices that clearly harm women.

    The Big Shut-Up

    Research | Articles
    Monday, April 3, 2017

    Over the weekend, I swung by Judge Jeanine's show to talk about one of the most malign trends of our time: the ever more open refusal by one side to permit those on the other side to speak.

    Robert Fulford: Feminists Are Failing To Confront Islamic Society's Treatment Of Women

    Research | Articles
    Friday, October 13, 2017

    Feminists do a disservice to their sisters in Islam when they ignore practices they would never tolerate in their own lives.

    The Horrific Reality That Is Female Genital Mutilation

    Research | Articles
    Tuesday, October 24, 2017

    The statistics involving this barbaric practice are staggering, and no one is talking about it — except, incredibly, to condone it.

    March for Every Woman

    Research | Articles | by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
    Friday, July 7, 2017

    Far too many feminists in the West prove reluctant to condemn practices that harm their sisters in the developing world.

    Research | Articles | by Ayaan Hirsi Ali

    Kamala Harris, Speak Up. Don’t Be Silent On Women’s Rights.

    Research | Articles | by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
    Thursday, June 22, 2017

    Last week, Senator Kamala Harris, a Democrat from California, made headlines when Republican senators interrupted her at a hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee while she interrogated Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The clip of the exchange went viral; journalists, politicians and everyday Americans debated what the shushing signified about our still sexist culture.

    Islam And The Mistreatment Of Women

    Research | Articles
    Friday, November 10, 2017

    Many Muslims are peaceful and tolerant, and it has become fashionable in the West to portray Islam as a peaceful and tolerant religion, even in the wake of terrorist attacks like the recent one in New York. But it's hard to buy into this charade when it comes to Muslim treatment of women under Sharia law. Plainly put, Sharia subjugates women in virtually every area of their lives.

    The Disgusting Barbarism Of Female Genital Mutilation Is Not Religious Freedom

    Research | Articles
    Tuesday, February 13, 2018

    In April 2017, The Times of India reported that Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin, the spiritual global leader of a Shia Muslim sect called the Dawoodi Bohras, reaffirmed the mandate of female genital mutilation (katna) in a sermon carried over a livestream and repeated in a messaging app.
