This is a shameful act of political correctness and appeasement. Ms. Ali is perhaps the bravest woman on earth today. She deserves nothing but respect and admiration for her life and the decisions she has made. Shame on this institution.
"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me." MARTIN NIEMÖLLER Of course, they could come for the socialists today and I would probably cheer! My bad. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWSx0bBiN...
Here we go with the silencing of reason again. They've just done this with the stopping of that "Diaries" movie (can't remember the entire name of the movie, but it's also about the abuses of islam.) Ayaan Hirsi Ali was born and raised and lived through all the abuses and instead of listening to her they want to shut her up. We should ALL be 'islamaphobes'. Read her book "Infidel", it will open your eyes....as all traumatic life stories have the power to do. I find it strange, and it seems to be happening more and more, how people who have lived through horrible regimes are NOT listened to. WHY???
I read it after hearing her speak at a Hillsdale retreat. I too, am troubled by the the fact that all people, women especially, aren't paying attention. It is unconscionable.
Yes. I know it well. Van gogh was killed for making the movie short about her. Stabbed in the street with a death threat letter stuck in his chest with a knife.
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me."

Here's a short film she was part of, for which the producer was killed:
