Ayaan Hirsi Ali: USA Best Place to Live for Women and Blacks

[ Though she calls herself a liberal, the liberals are going to hate her for this. How about it, grony, does she know what she's talking about?? ]

Although liberals constantly denounce it as sexist and racist, the USA is the best country in the world to be a woman and to be black. Don’t take my word for it. Ask a woman from Africa:

Somali-born author Ayaan Hirsi Ali, 45, emigrated to America in 2006 after facing death threats in the Netherlands, where she had been a member of parliament and a target for extremists after renouncing her faith and becoming an atheist.

Hirsi Ali, who describes herself as a liberal, has accused her fellow liberals of failing to have a proper sense of perspective about life in the U.S. and for not being more critical of Islam.

‘We are so blessed as women to live in the United States. The best place to be a woman in the world is in the U.S. The best place to be black in the world is in the U.S.,’ she told The Daily Beast.

Despite the contrived hysteria directed at Indiana, it is also the best place to be a homosexual.

‘I cannot imagine a better place to be gay than in the U.S. I know that all European countries have accepted gay marriage and here in the U.S. we’re still struggling to accept that.

‘On the other hand, when the jihadists in Europe attack gays in the streets, the governments don’t protect them.’

Here of course they get special protection — even from other privileged groups.

Hirsi Ali is an exception to many rules, including the rule that liberals are obsequious toward Islam. She has her reasons, having undergone genital mutilation in Somalia.

She wrote the screenplay for Submission, a 2004 film critical of the treatment of Muslim women.

Shortly after its release, the director, Theo van Gogh, was murdered on an Amsterdam street by a radical Islamist, who also pinned to the victim’s body a threat to kill Hirsi Ali.

To become assimilated into American liberalism, she needs to understand that it is racist of her to be critical of Islam. Appreciating America is another thought crime that will preclude full acceptance except among conservatives. Unsurprisingly, she has been rudely snubbed by the liberals running Stanford and Brandeis.


Not a liberal’s liberal.
