    Political Islam as Ideology and Movement and How to Contain It.

    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.

    Hirsi Ali: The 'Heretic' Who Says Muslims Need To Re-think Sex, Money, And Violence

    Research | Articles
    Tuesday, May 23, 2017

    Ayaan Hirsi Ali is the kind of person you wouldn't mind hanging out with for hours and shooting the breeze about this and that. And reading her books feels like that too. She is transparent about everything. How she expected buses to crash when she finally took off the headscarf, on account of drivers being driven mad with desire. And was rather disappointed when "nothing happened."

    Hirsi Ali Reads The Koran To Yassmin

    Research | Articles
    Friday, February 17, 2017

    Muslim apologist and ABC host Yassmin Abdel-Magied must have kept her eyes wide shut when Foreign Minister Julie Bishop's department unaccountably sent her to tour hard-line Iran and Saudi Arabia.

    Let Us Now Praise Muslim Apostates

    Research | Articles
    Friday, September 1, 2017

    Standing up to political correctness and facing death threats, the Muslim apostate writers Ibn Warraq and Ayaan Hirsi Ali have honored our increasingly endangered Western heritage of free thought, which includes the right—indeed, the obligation—to subject religious dogma to criticism and reason. 

    The Challenge of Dawa: Political Islam as Ideology and Movement and How to Counter it

    Research | Podcasts
    Sunday, April 23, 2017

    Hoover Institution fellow Ayaan Hirsi Ali calls for decoupling political aims from the religion of Islam to combat growing radicalism. She also discusses counterterrorism strategy, which she argues should focus on battling the ideas that spread radicalism rather than the radicals themselves.

    Gimme Shelter

    Research | Articles | by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
    Wednesday, April 24, 2019

    The definition of a “refugee” dates back decades and has outlived its usefulness. Nations now need a much more rigorous idea of just who deserves refuge.

    The Challenge Of Dawa: Political Islam As Ideology And Movement And How To Counter It

    News | News/Press
    Tuesday, March 21, 2017

    The Hoover Institution Press today released The Challenge of Dawa: Political Islam as Ideology and Movement and How to Counter It by Hoover research fellow Ayaan Hirsi Ali. In this free downloadable report, Hirsi Ali argues that the American public urgently needs to be educated about both the ideology of political Islam, dawa, and the organizational infrastructure that Islamists use to inspire, indoctrinate, recruit, finance, and mobilize those Muslims whom they hope to win over to the extremist cause.

    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.

    The Deadly Threat To Western Civilization – At Last, A View From The Right Perspective

    Research | Articles
    Tuesday, February 13, 2018

    We are so used to documentaries prophesying climate doom and gloom from propagandists such as Al Gore (of An Inconvenient Truth fame), and every critique of Western civilisation coming from Leftist film-makers such as Michael Moore, that conservatives have almost forgotten that film as a medium of political communication belongs to them too.

Congresswomen Ilhan Omar let rip another outburst of anti-Semitism this weekend at a conference in Philadelphia where she was speaking. Commenting at the Netroots Conference on “the situation in Palestine,” Omar declared, “What we are doing now is having hypocrisy in not celebrating non-violent movements there and condemning it [sic].”

    On Radical Islam, Trump Has Lost His Focus

    There’s no ‘extreme vetting,’ no outreach to moderates, and too much coziness with Riyadh.

    Imagine the humiliation of a middle-aged mother having to ask a young son’s approval for life decisions.

    The Challenge of Dawa: Political Islam as Ideology and Movement and How to Counter It

    Research | Essays | by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
    Monday, March 20, 2017

    The purpose of this report is to suggest the basis for a new anti-dawa strategy, designed to check the advance of political Islam as an ideology and a movement. In the first part, I describe the constitution of political Islam: the foundational principles, terminology, and objectives of Islamist ideology. In the second part, I analyze the infrastructure of political Islam, in particular the institutions and techniques of dawa. In the third part, I propose a number of policies that I believe will, if properly implemented, halt the spread of political Islam in the United States and perhaps also abroad.
