A GREAT LADY SPEAKS – AT 10:09 A.M. ET: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the brave Muslim dissident, scorned by American universities and the phonies in the "feminist" movement, is warning Americans about the threat of Islamic extremism to the United States. From Algemeiner:
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somali-born writer and vocal opponent of Islamist extremism, has warned that the United States increasingly faces a similar challenge to Europe in terms of dealing with radicalism among its Muslim communities.
Hirsi Ali, a former member of Dutch parliament who came to the United States after repeatedly receiving death threats in The Netherlands, was addressing the 2014 Gala Celebration of the American Friends of the Open University of Israel in New York.
“I’ve seen things in America that I would see in the Netherlands, say, in the 1990s and beyond,” Hirsi Ali told the audience. “It’s okay to establish mosques. It’s okay to establish Islamic centers; all are under the first amendment. And you know what? That’s fine.”
But, Hirsi Ali continued, there are legitimate concerns about what she described as “the indoctrination of children.”
“On one side, the Islamic extremist side of things, they cry, ‘You’re an Islamophobe,’ and the rest of society says, ‘Let’s leave them to it, let’s not be bigoted,’” Hirsi Ali observed. “I think you have seeds of the same dangers that I saw in Europe, because now in the United States of America, the population of Muslims is relatively small compared to that of various European countries and their demand for Shari’a Islamic law, or aspects of that, is there and it’s strong in some states and in some cities. But across the nation, it’s not as strong as it is in some of these European countries.”
Hirsi Ali also scorned the Obama Administration’s failed efforts to negotiate a deal with the Iranian regime over its nuclear program.
“I think that the Islamic Republic of Iran is now taking us for a ride. They’re not going to concede,” she said. “We need to show the Iranians that we are a power to reckon with and that we will absolutely not let them develop a bomb.”
COMMENT: She correct, of course. In a way, she's like a female Churchill, warning of what will be. And, like Churchill, there are forces fighting her tooth and nail.
Western Europe is basically finished. Its own reproduction statistics, combined with increasing populations of Muslim immigrants who don't want to assimilate, will doom the continent. The political balance of power will shift to Muslims in some countries within 20 years, maybe even sooner. Some countries, like the Netherlands, might not even exist in 40 years.
Can it happen here? Will we give up our civilization to political correctness? I have a certain confidence that the American people, with their fundamental common sense, will block a disaster. But I can't be sure, given the power of our decadent universities and super-decadent media.
We have defeated most of our external enemies. The internal ones might be tougher.
