Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Islamophobic Remarks :

According to the AHA Foundation’s website, the organization fights “the continued oppression of women and girls in the US committed in the name of religion and culture”. CAIR wholeheartedly condemns any disparity of equal protection of rights, wherever and whenever it occurs. However, Hirsi Ali’s path to defend women from human rights abuses falsely, and viciously, attempts to incriminate all Muslims for the atrocities.

Hirsi Ali has a reputation for anti-Muslim and anti-Constitutional rhetoric.

For example, during the course of a single 2007 interview with Reason Magazine Ali said, “I think that we are at war with Islam” and called for Islam to be “defeated.” Later in the interview, Ali suggested that the U.S. Constitution should be amended to allow for discrimination against Muslims saying, “There were no Muslim schools when the constitution was written. There were no jihadists.”

Hirsi Ali has also referenced Islam as “a nihilistic cult of death” and that it “legitimizes murder”.

In 2014, Brandeis University withdrew its invitation to Hirsi Ali to receive an honorary degree at commencement ceremonies after being informed of her rhetoric. In its statement announcing the withdrawal of Ali’s invitation, the university said: “We cannot overlook that certain of her past statements are inconsistent with Brandeis University’s core values.”

In a 2007 interview in the London Evening Standard,[26] Hirsi Ali characterised Islam as “the new fascism”:
Just like Nazism started with Hitler‘s vision, the Islamic vision is a caliphate—a society ruled by Sharia law—in which women who have sex before marriage are stoned to death, homosexuals are beaten, and apostates like me are killed. Sharia law is as inimical to liberal democracy as Nazism … Violence is inherent in Islam—it’s a destructive, nihilistic cult of death. It legitimates murder.
