| | "Enlightenment Fundamentalism"
Two time exile, (from Africa, to Holland, to the U.S.) and witness to the murder of Theo van Gogh, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, author of Infidel is now coming under implicit attack in the Western media as an "Enlightenment Fundamentalist." Newsweek, the New Yorker, and the New York Times Book Review have all made swipes at this witness to true brutality. Never having initiated force in her life, Christopher Hitchens quotes Newsweek Magazine as labelling her a "Bombthrower."

I left the world of faith, of genital cutting and forced marriage for the world of reason and sexual emancipation. After making this voyage I know that one of these two worlds is simply better than the other. Not for its gaudy gadgetry, but for its fundamental values.
