Witness to terror

"As you read this, Ayaan Hirsi Ali sits in a safe house with armed men guarding her door. She is one of the most poised, intelligent and compassionate advocates of freedom of speech and conscience alive today, and for this, she is despised in Muslim communities throughout the world. ...

"It is important to realize that Hirsi Ali may be the first refugee from Western Europe since the Holocaust. ... She knows the challenges we face in our struggle to contain the misogyny and religious fanaticism of the Muslim world, and she lives with the consequences of our failure each day. There is no one in a better position to remind us that tolerance of intolerance is cowardice."
