Defining Deviancy: Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Critique of Double Standards in Society
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 апр 2024
- At the 2024 Russell Kirk Lecture hosted by the Heritage Foundation and the Alliance Defending Freedom, Ayaan Hirsi Ali addressed pressing issues confronting Western society. Her discourse centered on themes of moral ambiguity, societal decay, and the complexities of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Critiquing double standards in Western societies, Hirsi Ali delved into the erosion of pluralism and tolerance, particularly in the face of Islamism and woke ideology.
She commended individuals like Jack Phillips for resisting intolerant activism and emphasized the importance of upholding religious diversity. Reflecting on her personal journey toward Christianity, Hirsi Ali underscored the significance of understanding Western values and spirituality in confronting radical Islam. Furthermore, she highlighted the dangers of anti-Americanism and urged vigilance in preserving America's foundational principles for future generations. Hirsi Ali's discussion also delved into feminism, critiquing double standards and advocating for the preservation of women's rights amidst contemporary challenges.

Ayaan is one of my heroes
Used to be. Not any more. Not after this rediculous speech. I couldn't listen after the first 30 mimutes. Simply parroting AIPAC talking points.
Yup, she's brilliant! ❤
She is a hero for democracy !
@@00708046 You mean hero for genocide! lol
@@teeque5320she’s the bomb
I hope one day that this woman will be rewarded with the Nobel Prize for Peace.
What world are you living in? There is no moral courage left in the ruling echelons. It is a bigoted world.
10q
😂😂 For what actually ? Spreading hate and lies. She was kicked out of the Netherlands for spreading the same lies and hatred.
@@ShlomoCohen-xr7zi Somali here, Whate are you baffling About. She's an absolute heroine!
How are things in the Netherlands with Geert on the rise ?
🤣
I am so proud that Ayaan has chosen to be an American citizen
It disturbs me however that the choice was so clear. Is America 🇺🇸 so unique? It is not good for any country to stand alone.
Her message is not left or right, but human. I’m hoping her words resonate beyond the room. ❤
As a Christian who is also Middle Eastern I am grateful for her
My admiration and respect know no bounds for Ayaan Hirsi Ali...
Yeah, you and the other 5 people watching this video. In the wake of the crimes against humanity and the genoc!de of Palestinians currently being carrried out by ap@rtheid Israel, with the full consent of Western Governments; which societies truly represents moral ambiguity, societal decay?
She forgot to mention Israel was created by terrorist groups Irgun,Lehi and Haganah.
She is far braver than any politician today.
Ayaan is brave and truthful in a way that is all to rare in these dangerous times.♥️✝️✌️

@@theAHAfoundation sure will. I will support how ever i can. I am determined to alert people to your work at the foundation, and hope than more and more people every day get educated about the problems we all face from Islamization and Islamist. We Must Waken Up to this reality! And Thanks to Ayaan and your foundation we have Hope. God Bless you all.♥️☘️
I love Ayaan whether she is an atheist or a Christian!
I could listen to Ayaan all day a women of common sense and Truthful reason!!!
The paradox of tolerance states that if a society's practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them.
Great comment
Me toooo.
Ayaan is my No 1 Hero.
She courageously exposed Islam as a Supremeisist Violent Tribalistic ideology.
A brilliant speech that deserves high respect and adoration!
The prime minister of Norway Støre should hear this speech. Greetings from a Dutchman who lives in Norway. ❤
Absolutely agree though I doubt they care. Israel is not an «underdog» and norwegians need to be seen as humanitarians saving the needy. Political correctness is part and parcel of its politics. Norwegian citizen here.
All European and American leaders should hear it! We are all struggling with the same problem.
I’m Jewish women from ex-Soviet Union. I
Left Soviet Union because I never 1:49 support Communist System and always felt an Antisemitism against Jewish people. Ayaan is every strong, honest , intellectual hero who fights for West Civilization and supporting Israel with all your heart.
Thanks G-d for Ayaan , I hope she will have a lot of followers from around the World.
Thank you so much Ayaan for your courage, your voice is loud and clear! Huge admiration and gratitude from me

Such a clear, sensible and powerful speech. The once great America has become morally confused, weak and faint-hearted. How can we turn this around?
Comparing America to others, I have always been impressed with how greatness only builds from individuals moving forward to do good together without waiting for the government or universal consensus.
Really admire Ayaan for her thought on universal values. The world need somebody like her.
It’s so refreshing to listen to Ayaan. She’s so clear in following where the facts lead her, and so courageous in saying what’s needed to be said. Thank you, Ayaan! I hope there will be more women like you who are so eloquent and intelligent
Recent Catholic convert (more or less from secular humanism), baptized Easter Vigil at St Wenceslaus in Iowa City (from secular humanism). Was surprised and delighted when I read that Ayaan Hirsi Ali had become a Christian! Admired her for decades, but now feel a special kinship. I love when she said that her religion does not allow her to give up having hope for people. This is one of the many beautiful concepts in Christianity!
As a Chris Hitchens Jew, I have long considered Ayaan a top member of the world’s intellectual pantheon. If she says Christianity is a good thing in the current world then it is. I hope her high view of America 🇺🇸 will be borne out too.
Freedom is a precious heritage, and those who don't have it or come to it late realize its value. This is all that Ayan wants to remind and encourage to preserve it.
She’s a true human rights activist. I’ve admired her for over 20+ years and the truth she speaks unveils itself right before our eyes year after year, yet our governments’ eyes are completely shut. This will not end well.
She is a hero.
Ayaan is incredible! She is a voice of reason! I absolutely adore listening to her. God bless you, Ayaan! ❤
Ayaan, I’ve been following you since I read Infidel in 2007 and continue to find your thoughts and ideas interesting, insightful and wise. Keep fighting!
Astonishing speech. Such insight and integrity - very moved
Thank you for your courage and honesty!
Thank you Ayaan. You are so right. You are an amazing person and I appreciate what you are doing for many. Your books and speech has had an amazing affect on many. I thank you.
A distinct clear voice in a confused world.
You can feel the religious and conservative atmosphere dripping from every corner of this room. And yet Ayaan is worth every moment, religious conversion or not. She is a scholar and is always worth our time.
You are so much more confident since you have found such a loving spirituality. I have always listened to you but now you have all the other Christians around you. Much love❤❤
Wonderful woman bringing us to face the truth of what is happening...and needing courage to stand up.
I always love Ms Ali's talks. She is so articulate, intelligent, and eye-opening. Most of her ideas are spot on and her insights give us all more and deeper insight.
It is important to distinguish between multiculturalism and pluralism. At about 45:25 the gentleman conflated the two. What we have now is a multiculturalism that has been forced on us since the late 1970’s or the 1980’s. It was meant, or sold, as a way to acknowledge people’s different experiences - but has ironically evolved into identitarianism that emphasizes differences more than commonalities. Multiculturalists often suggest that “each kind should stay with their own kind.” They go so far as to recommend separate college dormitories and graduation ceremonies. This is a pernicious idea leading us back to separatism and segregation.
Pluralism (e pluribus unum: from the many, one) acknowledges many cultures contribute to American culture, but it has a more unifying message. As part of our efforts to defend the values of Western Civilization, we should revive the call for pluralism (but we will have to define it repeatedly until people understand it).
I agree with Ayaan that Second Wave feminists (before Judith Butler) and Cold War survivors suffer from hubris. We think that the waves of islamists entering Western countries will see the obvious benefits of Western thinking and it will just rub off on them. But it doesn’t. Meanwhile, they game the system and use our values against us (freedom of speech, public demonstrations, legal maneuvering, etc.) in a long game too many of our leaders don’t even know we are immersed in. Everything is at stake.
Great point! ❤
Very good analysis.
What is the practical difference between the two? How to implement pluralism?
Well said. Would love to see more content from you Ms Royce.
Keep saying this until,it begins to sink in.
Such a valid point Miss Royce
More guts and brains in this woman than in the entire political establushment .
Thanks for being a voice at this time!! ❤❤❤
Our civilization is truly under threat...this talk was a powerful warning to wake up and protect what we have built....A great speech by a great woman ....thank you❤
Remarkable example. I hope and pray, everyone at the forefront of democracy: the politicians, the media outlets, every institution and organisation with influence, etc, gets the opportunity to learn from this highly evolved and intellectually informed account. It is so inspiring, so full of hope, but most importantly perhaps, it is wise and intentional and the direction nations must travel if they want to survive, let alone thrive 🕊️☮️🥳
Unbelievable bravery courage and wisdom! Ayaan, thank You for telling the Truth, thank You for being Light in the dark World. We love You ❤❤❤
God bless and protect You 🙏
Truer words have never been spoken. She really communicated herself well, and it really resonated with me.
She speaks the truth.Her analysis is on the facts available in public platforms.
She is wonderful, what determination and talent!
Have read one of her books. Absolutely respect and appreciate this woman. We need more like her. Intelligent, fair, brave, open and honest.
Ayan is undoubtedly a very courageous lady indeed!!
Millenial woman looking up to Ayaan ❤
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!!!!! I'd never heard of her, and now, I'll never forget her. ❤

Ayyan is my hero.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is one of the most important speakers alive. Listen to her, leaders of the West. -E.K.
Ms. Hirsi-Ali, Thank you for offering such clarity.
There is definitely a double standard where Israel is concerned.
It's been disheartening knowing that there are too few in power that have courage, including those in the U.S. Capitol and in the WH.
I don't put any expectations on God. I love HaShem. We ALL belong to Him. He sees and knows everything. He is Infinite as is my faith.
I am inspired by so many who've spoken out: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Douglas Murray, Mosab Hassan Yousef, Dalia Zaida, Mahsa Amini, and especially members of the Abraham Accords.
AM YISRAEL CHAI
💙🤍💙🙏🙏🔯🙏🙏💙🤍💙
Deeply thanks for this important thoughts and speech from Ayaan
Great question about women’s rights!!!
Ayaan, a woman of immense bravery and ability. How many brilliant Muslim women and men are being stifled by oppressive political Islam?
courage , cleverness , dignity .
I love this lady
This woman is a living legend.
We should have this woman speak at the European parliament and at Westminster.
i just wanna simply express my admiration for AHA for her courage and common sense.Western leaders better listen to this great woman and protect their Judeo-Christian values instead of demonizing Israel which happens to be in the 1st line of defending civilizations.
Ayaan is a hero who can save the democracy and the West.
She is wonderful
Brilliant speech ❤. You are absolutely right
Qué mujer más increíble! Qué valiente al explicar lo que está pasando en el mundo. Es necesario voces inteligentes como ella ,entre tanto ruido y estupidez. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇪🇦
Ayaan remade herself into a much better person and so she speaks quietly but with great authority. This world antagonism toward Israel does seem as if God is testing the nations.
Divinely groomed voice
Thank you Ayaan🙏
Ayaan is a courageous and eloquent public intellectual. Her voice is priceless and absolutely essential. In the light of this subject I recommend Benedict Beckeld’s “Western Self Contempt-Oikophobia in the decline of civilizations”
Thanks for the recommendation. It looks interesting. And I have feared this happened in the decline of civilizations. I hope he feels it can be reversed but we definitely have to try. When Western values decline, they're replaced with something much worse. The people who criticize the U.S., do they really want the values of China, militant Islam or Russia to rule over them?
Thank you 🙏🏽

A pleasure to listen to this wonderful speech
Ayaan: a hero! Correct on Israel & the West. Points out problem with Islamists accurately. Contrast between her & Ilhan Omar, both from Somalia, could not be greater. Too bad Ayaan not in Congress instead of Omar.
Thanks again.
Thank you!
Thelma writes: Ajaan Hirsi Ali is my HERO. I admire her courage and her bravery in exposing the truth. I salute her. Thank you Ajaan for taking such courageous stand and may you remain under God's protection. 🙏 🙏
I will be forever grateful for Ayaan Hirsi Ali's moral stance. I don't know if peace is possible within my lifetime, or ever, but I will never stop working twords it. That is, without closing my eyes to times when a man must fight for his values and lives.
We are partners in the fight for freedom and democracy.
From Israel🇮🇱
Thank you so much for your kind comment and support!
Thank you!!!!! If anyone think you spoke not facts than he is a fool brainwashed. Every. Word❤ is gold and smart.
Hero
Yes, she is a very needed heroine!- Why has that word been abolished?- I will not put up with that! It is a way of cancelling women!- Have a blessed day!- Let's be inspired by heroines like Aayan and heroes- and stand up for truth and charity while we can.Also for Israel's right to security and peace!- This small nation where Arabic speaking citizens have equal cutizens' rights, are fighting our fight against terrorism and tyranni. Like the whole West had to stand together fight nazism the only decent Police is to stand by Israel in this fight.Chamberlain's failed peace initiative to Hitler showed apeacement does not work with bloodthirsty tyrants and psychopaths!🏞💒👌🤝🗽🌄🕊
What a great woman she is!
Thank you Ayaan Hirsi Ali! I love you and am so incredibly grateful for your voice
Thanks for listening and for your kind words! We truly appreciate your support.
Incredible Lady. Need many more of people like her to speak out and spread the truth .A cancer is spreading through the world. Speak up. The world needs you.
Glad she’s still doing talks cause her podcast just kinda disappeared. She’s brave, brilliant, a role model…
Hi Julie! She did take a bit of a hiatus to get her new project going. We should have even more content coming soon!
What’s her podcast called?
agree with her to a certain extent ❤
The problem with religions is that they see themselves as the ONLY ABSOLUTE truth and degrade other religions, & preach that the others will end up in Hell😢 That’s why both Christians & Muslims are doing their best to convert people. 😢
May this be true and strong….
Ayan is trying to reconnect Christians with our powerful, confident, scholastic past which can provide clarity for our present actions and future
It is always fascinating to hear Ayans’ thoughts and insights, however can I suggest that the position of her microphone inhibited her voice, no doubt as she is of her stature .
She's a legend.
I asked myself why Ayann is so compelling compared to others.
I think it is because she has suffered, made mistakes, admitted these, learned from them, picked herself up again and again without resentment in search of truth.
She strives to make the world a better place for all. She has faith in humans and a loving God. She is a humble human being and a humble academic . She lives what she preaches and puts herself at risk to ask us to love our neighbour and put our faith in a loving God.
She seems to have learned in her searching, that we can't know everything but we must take a leap of faith sometimes. We must look at our neighbour with a benevolent gaze and hope it is reciprocated.
She has that quality of divine grace about her.
Her point of view remains insightful and important. Listen and act accordingly.
Your courage to speak out what you believed in examplinary. In your long time search for truth, am so happy you met the ultimate truth in person- Jesus Christ as the bible says in John 14:16 - Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life. Keep up outstanding work. More impo keep deepening your relationship with this great man and God- the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ayaan should be drawing crowds of millions. Get voice muddy be heard!!!
I guess the intro is part of the whole experience and should be honored. Who else is tied of hearing a summary of a person to whom you already have a lot of info?
Someone who doesn't know 😊
Hi Stacy! Thanks for letting us know, we will definitely take this into consideration in the future. We often go back and forth and it is helpful to hear feedback from viewers.

very impressive and inspiring
Ayaan for Vice-president !!!
Starts at c. 4.00.
Yes, the shortcomings of radical relativism is what Ayaan is pointing out.
You are amazing
Wise AYAAN way beyond the norm in intelligence, should be talking to all Government Leaders as she speaks the TRUTH. 🔈🔉🔊
Ayaan is the hope of millions who believe in truth.
Ayaan, I’m so thankful to hear you’ve become Christian. I’ve wanted this for you for many years. The Palestinian Christian community has dwindled since 1948, but they’re still there, in our oldest churches in the world. I don’t have the answers, but I do care for the peace and safety and salvation of Palestinian children, just as much as Israeli children, & their families. Catholics and Orthodox live in Palestine, they have a story to tell just as much, but it’s rare, have to seek it out online. Next, I’d like to hear from Israeli Christians, because they exist, too.
Ayaan gave a wonderful speech! I’ve tried to explain to people the ones prolonging this war are the governments and NGO’s who are providing aid in Gaza. Continuing to provide aid will prolong this war, and if Israel doesn’t win, this war the cycle will continue!
Thanks!
she is well articulated. Glad to her from here in this era
Ayaan is 100× heroes
Wow i admire her. Shes got gutts and i agree with all
