Why Ayaan Hirsi Ali broke off with the "Left" The Somali-
born Dutch parliamentarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali has long been the object
of death threats from Dutch Islamists. Since the murder last November
8 of Theo Van Gogh, she is under 24 hour police protection. Hirsi Ali
describes herself as an "apostate" from Islam.
 In their (the leftists') eyes, the simple fact of
belonging to a minority gives one the right to do anything. This is
why multiculturalism is a disaster. All one has to do is
scream "discrimination" and all doors are open to you!
Scream `racism' and your opponents shut up! Jihadwatch_____________________
In an interview published in last week's issue of the French weekly
L'Express she says: "Since the September 11 attacks, I no longer
believe in God. In the eyes of the fundamentalists who threaten me,
that justifies my being put to death. They accuse me of `insulting'
the Prophet, of saying that Islam oppresses women, of `collaborating
with the enemy', that's to say, with non-Muslims."Hirsi Ali's
break with Islam has been widely publicized. Perhaps less known is
her break with the "left". Originally, a member of the Dutch Labor
Party, Hirsi Ali left the latter to join the classical liberal Dutch
party the VVD. L'Express asked her why. Here is her response:
Because the left is exactly like the Muslims! I wanted to give
priority to the defense of immigrant women who are victims of
domestic violence. They said to me: "No, that's not a priority! The
problem will take care of itself when the immigrants have jobs and
are integrated." It is exactly what the Imams say who demand that
we accept oppression and slavery today because tomorrow, in Heaven,
God will give us dates and raisins…. I think we need first to defend
the individual. The left is afraid of everything. But fear of giving
offense leads to injustice and suffering. The sexual revolution, the
affirmation of individual rights, improving the living conditions of
immigrants – these were once the great causes of the Dutch left.
In their eyes, the simple fact of belonging to a minority gives
one the right to do anything. This is why multiculturalism is a
disaster. All one has to do is scream "discrimination" and all doors
are open to you! Scream `racism' and your opponents shut up! Story
