Amid protests from Islamofascists, Brandeis U withdraws honour for Ayaan Hirsi Ali, defender of Muslim women and critic of Islam

The disingenuous Muslim students at Brandeis university admit, on the one hand, that Ayaan Hirsi Ali raises many valid points about the terrible abuses that women and girls suffer in Islamic culture; but, on the otherhand, they refuse to allow to allow that there is any correlation between those abuses and the nature of Islam itself. Yet, that precisely is the nature of Islam, reinforced by fascist organizations like CAIR, that any criticism of Islam is not allowed, pending charges of Islamophobia (a fabricated hoax of a term) or even death. According to the disingenuous Muslim students at Brandeis, misogynist horrors in Muslim culture must be treated in isolation as if they have no primary cause. Ayaan Hirsi Ali and other sane critics know better. Islam is the cause and only a MAJOR overhaul of Islam will be the cure. Ms. Hirsi Ali, who is by all accounts a wonderful woman, has stated on innumerable occasions that her problem is with the totalitarian ideology of Islam, not Muslims per se. That is precisely, incidentally, my position as well. One despises totalitarian ideologies like Nazism, Fascism, Communism and the granddaddy of all totalitarian ideologies, Islamism. One does NOT despise Germans, Italians, Russians, Chinese or Muslims because they are merely people who have been the greatest victims of these horrific ideologies. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, is a cultural Muslim herself. She was born to a Muslim family, all her existing blood relatives are Muslim, so she does not hate Muslims. Furthermore, reinforcing her being the highly intelligent, sensitive, sophisticated woman she is, she is married to one of the great conservative thinkers of the English speaking world, Niall Ferguson. Ms Ali is well and above the knee-jerk reactionism that the simple-minded Muslim students of Brandeis are guilty of and falsely accuse her of being. Despite all the horrors that Muslims fanatics have subjected her too, forced female genital mutilation, forced marriage (that she rejected) years of death threats from Muslim terrorists/assassins, the murder of her friend and colleague, filmmaker Theo Van Gogh by a Muslim fanatic, and still forced to live in hiding under police protection to this day; she is able to rise above personal recriminations to share her story and help her fellow, victimized Muslims, to throw off the shackles of bondage to the horror which is Islam and seek a better life. This woman is a saint and should have been honored at Brandeis with laurels, garlands and a marching band instead of demonized by a group of little Islamofascists in the making. http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/04/09/amid-protests-brandeis-withdraws-honour-for-ayaan-hirsi-ali-defender-of-muslim-women-and-critic-of-islam/
