Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been charting one of the bravest moral and intellectual journeys of the first quarter of the 21st century. Born in the Somali Democratic Republic, raised in Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and Kenya, she experienced firsthand the Islamist ideology that swept through African and Middle Eastern countries in her youth, which drew her into its frenzied orbit before she fled to the Netherlands. In just five years, she became a naturalized Dutch citizen, a member of Parliament, and an outspoken critic of the Islamist culture she saw taking root in the country that had granted her asylum. After an Islamist terrorist, born in the Netherlands, murdered her friend and creative collaborator, the filmmaker Theo van Gogh, promising she would be next, she went into hiding but refused to be silenced. Moving to the United States—after the Netherlands proved disinclined to protect her—Ayaan’s courage, moral clarity, and willingness to articulate uncomfortable truths about the enemies of Western culture, including the West’s own predilection for disguising dangerous differences with narratives of virtuous inclusion, have made her an essential voice in a time of evasion and moral cowardice, and a welcome contributor to The Free Press. Today she writes on the nature of the threat Europe faces, and why some refuse to see it for what it is.
