We are now standing on the precipice of history. Powerful political and cultural forces are seeking to upend western liberal democracies and the freedoms we so often take for granted. Few people understand what’s at stake quite like Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
After a dramatic escape from a strict Islamic upbringing in Somalia, she found refuge in the Netherlands where she became an elected member of the Dutch Parliament. Now a celebrated author and activist, Ayaan has devoted her life to defending western values against threats from Islamic fundamentalism and more recently, far left progressive ideology.
