Stop the presses: Hirsi Ali adopted the enlightenment. Ali reviews a book by a self-described expert on Arab culture who does not know Arabic (I should now count myself as expert on Chinese culture having consumed Chinese food): "Harris goes on to argue that the Muslim world, since it is governed by the law of the jungle...Harris does not regard Islamic fanaticism as a deviancy or a madness that affects a few Muslims and terrifies many. Instead he argues that fanaticism is the basic principle in Islam." Can you imagine the uproar if somebody, anybody, writes those words about, say, Judaism in the New York Times or in Kansas-City Star or in any US newspaper? Would it not be national issue, and presidential candidates would be asked to weigh in? But Ali here explains why you should trust her: "I was not born in the West. I was raised with the code of Islam, and from birth I was indoctrinated into a tribal mind-set. Yet I have changed, I have adopted the values of the Enlightenment..." Good for you, Ali. Good for you.
