As a Hungarian who was born and raised in communist Hungary I had tears in my eye listening to her saying and perfectly articulating why Poland and Hungary and Eastern Europeans are valuing freedom and willing to fight for it. She struck a chord with me.
Wow ! ..what a jewel ! Just how does how does some Somalian girl escape such an oppressive background and become so well informed, articulate, and free from the mold in which she was cast ? For me she is a symbol of freedom and is educating me and filling in the gaps of my ignorance of a subject I thought I knew something about. She is awesome.
Mad woman, out there to make money and fame by making the enemies of Islam to hear what they want to hear to buy her books..Islam is a mirror exposing the truth about the west who is living the final stage of self destruction,,,
On the question of drawing the line in the wrong place, the Quran is the book that Muslims follow and it answers that question in surah 4.95 where Allah puts the Jihadist a grade above the Muslim who stays home and receives no hurt. In other words, Jihad is the core doctrine of Islam and the so-called peaceful Muslim preserves the Jihad doctrine inadvertently or purposefully as long as the Quran exists and is adhered to.
This woman, this extraordinary human being is what I call a personification of knowledge, culture, kindness and femininity. It has been a real delight to listen to her. Thank you
She's beautiful and intelligent, but above all, she's very wise... I've read her books, and I can easily say that every single page, gave me a great joy. Literally, it was the joy of knowledge...
My goodness, what a wonderful woman. As the murders and beheadings in secular France never seem to end, Ayaan's 'warnings' are more relevant than ever for our enlightened values to endure
When you hear a voice some day it will sound like you have finally heard the voice of Reason ... Ayaan Hirsi Ali is that voice ..... THE WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR THIS WOMAN !
Great interview. I lived in a Muslim country for 1 year and was married to a Muslim woman for 20 years, and still did not get the depth of the "problem" and particularly where it was coming from, until seeing this interview. Excellent.
*What a Gift to Truth and Civilization: is this Noble, Courageous, Literate and Gracious Lady. May Providence Guide and Protect Her, and all those whom she loves.*
No Pieter you are not right. She was not esteemed the way she should have been and the first muslim trying to kick her out of the Netherlands (Sinan Can) actually succeeded, with us doing nothing at all. The Americans cannot do a worse job relating to her.
This lady is woman of substance. I respect her speaking issues related to the Qur'an, even though some people think she should not or she should follow political correctness. I raise my hat to Ayaan Hirsi Ali. May God continue to protect you. Amen
Go to any Islamic country stand up and announce you are an atheist, or a gay person, or just question any aspect of Islam...........you will find out quickly how peaceful the religion is.
She really is one of the most principled and eloquent speakers I've ever seen. Very introverted and poised, doesn't try and manipulate, embellish or sell you a pitch. Just states the facts in a centered and fair way, to take it or leave it as you will. I don't trust people who use manipulation tactics when delivering a message, because even if I know it to be true, then I wonder when they will pull the switcheroo and throw some poison into the sugar.
She is eloquent from political persperctive not from religious perspective if you use politcs to define reliolgioun you will faile and end up misleading millions of people God is perfect and create everything out perfect sense so when you are created and you eager take the position of God politicise religious issue you are watched from above days of creation are limited and every human is answerable of all their action the day pregnant woman gives birth without noticing labour pain the day when your own mother run away from you
PSA: She runs the Ayaan Hirsi Ali Foundation, which works on helping victims of FGM, honor violence, and other terrible things. It lobbies the government to bring their attention to the crimes and make such things illegal.
As an open minded person this has been one of the best explanation of Islams ultimate goal. I thought it was just the haters that had issues with Islam. This is real & a real threat to life we now know.
Ayaan used to live in the Netherlands and worked in the government to attempt to make a difference and left due to better opportunities in USA. Amsterdam had the chance and let her go due to a hospitable environment that couldn't protect her for speaking out against radical islam.
jybuys you are not able to protect her over there. Muslims run rampant, are fearless and are off the hook in Europe. Europe has become a paradise for Muslims. Here in America, she’s safe, she has protection and vast support.
I completely agree with the host, this woman is beautiful intelligent and very well spoken. But her most important quality is that she is brave for standing up to the islamic expansionist ideas. Very well spoken , crystal clear thoughts and full of wisdom. I have downloaded the pdf book. Thank you for this interview.
MichaelKingsfordGray Mental infants like Einstein? Albert Einstein believed in God, and likened atheists to children entering a well ordered library, who could only vaguely realize that there must be some order to the shelves of the library, although they could not read them, nor comprehend what the order might possibly be. He said the only belief system he absolutely rejected was that of the atheist.
@ 24:48 "The biggest challenge the US faces in combatting political Islam is the extent to which agents of dawa can exploit the constitutional and legal protections that guarantee American citizens freedom of religion and freedom of speech - freedoms that would of course be swept away if the Islamists achieved their goals." Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Senate committee testimony June 14, 2017 The US Constitution is not supposed to be a suicide pact. "As a condition of US friendship, the administration should require foreign governments to stop supporting and financing subversive Islamist activities in the United States." "We need to develop strategy to counter not only the jihadists but the complex ideological infrastructure known as dawa..." THANK YOU for this magnificent interview.
She is such a light on a dark topic, and very much an authority for any questioning her motives, they are to help. I wish so much that she wasn't forced into hiding because of death threats from those in her former faith. The US is happy and lucky to have you, may you and yours be well - love from the heartland.
What an education from such an articulate woman. She can help people use the most precise and accurate language to communicate the problem/dichotomy of personal tolerance v.s. political tolerance with no boundaries to the point of our own destruction. Never heard the discussion quite like that.
If anybody can be seen in my generation an admirable feminist struggling for equality of all human beings, than it is Ayan Hirsi Ali.Intelligent,logic, informed, empathic and loving
I know that this is an older interview and I stumbled upon it today. How blessed I feel to have heard Ayaan Ali explain something so sincerely! I will not be able to look at the world as passively as I did before seeing her face and hearing her voice. I want to express tolerance and support for a faith such as Islam but cannot tease the doctrine of Islam apart from the politics of Islam in the hands of the human race. I also was deeply moved at how prescient her comments were at the end. We need the Polish and Hungarian peoples to protect us from the conflict from forces that oppose Western culture. it turned out to be the Ukranians, didn't it?
Ayaan is brilliant, eloquent, crystal clear, and extremely brave. I wish she was still a member of Dutch parlement. She should enter the major US political stage as soon as possible.
The need to show you’re not racist or homophonic or etc, is a very powerful tool . People support ideology regardless if it can be detrimental just for the need to say they accept all people.
Peter Robinson states, "Trump is extremely unpopular..." Have you been to a Trump Rally sir? What pollis are you reading? I think you'll be quite surprised at the millions of silent majority who LOVE President Trump.
Cesar Milstief Isnt it paradox that trump made the biggest weapon deal in the last 50 years with the most radical islamic country in the world? Saudi arabia.... And that the obama administration supported the fsa rebel groups who fight for sharia law in syria?
I just read her book Infidel and I can only imagine the pain and suffering she (and many millions of people) went thru under Islam, the much touted religion of peace. The western mind cannot understand Islam because they look at it from a colonial mindset and not as a common man.
Thankyou Ayaan for encouraging critical thinks and having the bravery to challenge the claims of religious clerics that that they and t their ' holy book' has the answer to everything.
what a first class interview with a brilliant intellectual ,who has first hand knowledge of the horows of islam . president trump should have her on his team ,share this as much as possible everybody should listen to her and act before its to late god bless her
As more than one Imam told me " Islam means SUBMISSION "... Not " Peace", tolerance of the intolerant is indeed cowardice .... 👍👍👍👍👍 Ayaan Hirsi Ali 💖💛💚🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
You can download the pdf of the book at the following link www.hoover.org/research/challenge-dawa-political-islam-ideology-and-movement-and-how-counter-it Thank you!
One of my favourite human beings. This woman has my utmost respect.
I am in awe of this woman. Every leader of the Western world should listen to her.
She is a gift to the planet.
Ayaan Hirsi Al has incredible courage and strength.
As a Hungarian who was born and raised in communist Hungary I had tears in my eye listening to her saying and perfectly articulating why Poland and Hungary and Eastern Europeans are valuing freedom and willing to fight for it. She struck a chord with me.
Wow ! ..what a jewel ! Just how does how does some Somalian girl escape such an oppressive background and become so well informed, articulate, and free from the mold in which she was cast ? For me she is a symbol of freedom and is educating me and filling in the gaps of my ignorance of a subject I thought I knew something about. She is awesome.
This women is my hero.....real hero.... i hope westerners come to their senses and identify real enemies.
Mad woman, out there to make money and fame by making the enemies of Islam to hear what they want to hear to buy her books..Islam is a mirror exposing the truth about the west who is living the final stage of self destruction,,,
this interview should be aired on public free to air tv as an important public service
ye something like a public service announcement? :)
Agreed! But this is not someone else's responsibility. It's our job to share this as widely as we can in whatever sphere of influence we have.
On the question of drawing the line in the wrong place, the Quran is the book that Muslims follow and it answers that question in surah 4.95 where Allah puts the Jihadist a grade above the Muslim who stays home and receives no hurt. In other words, Jihad is the core doctrine of Islam and the so-called peaceful Muslim preserves the Jihad doctrine inadvertently or purposefully as long as the Quran exists and is adhered to.
ABSOLUTELY !
Bishma Wood interesting.
This woman, this extraordinary human being is what I call a personification of knowledge, culture, kindness and femininity. It has been a real delight to listen to her. Thank you
I'm crying real tears right now. This woman is my heroine
She's beautiful and intelligent, but above all, she's very wise...
I've read her books, and I can easily say that every single page, gave me a great joy. Literally, it was the joy of knowledge...
Hirsi Ali, excellent as ever.
Ayaan is massively inspirational. Thank you for educating us in a most rational way in cultural self-defense.
My goodness, what a wonderful woman.
As the murders and beheadings in secular France never seem to end, Ayaan's 'warnings' are more relevant than ever for our enlightened values to endure
This talk should be made manditory for every one on earth especially the post modern western mind.
Bless her! She is so courageous and intelligent.
I stand behind her, and with her.
Let the truth be told.
When you hear a voice some day it will sound like you have finally heard the voice of Reason ...
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is that voice .....
THE WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR THIS WOMAN !
Great interview. I lived in a Muslim country for 1 year and was married to a Muslim woman for 20 years, and still did not get the depth of the "problem" and particularly where it was coming from, until seeing this interview. Excellent.
Thank you, Peter Robinson, Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Great
*What a Gift to Truth and Civilization: is this Noble, Courageous, Literate and Gracious Lady. May Providence Guide and Protect Her, and all those whom she loves.*
what a national treasure!!!!
She used to be our national treasure (I'm from the Netherlands). And yes i am very envious ;)
Please take very good care of her.
No Pieter you are not right. She was not esteemed the way she should have been and the first muslim trying to kick her out of the Netherlands (Sinan Can) actually succeeded, with us doing nothing at all. The Americans cannot do a worse job relating to her.
shs is angelic!
James Capps worldwide treasure.
So true! And Ayan is not bad herself either.
Pluralism, tolerance, multi-culturalism are Western ideas and are completely unheard of in Islamic countries.
What an amazing Woman, she explains things so clearly and logically
What an absolutely brilliant woman. Were her message more PC (fortunately, it isn't) she'd have a dozen honorary doctorates by now.
This lady is woman of substance. I respect her speaking issues related to the Qur'an, even though some people think she should not or she should follow political correctness. I raise my hat to Ayaan Hirsi Ali. May God continue to protect you. Amen
She is incredible, smart, fair and very wise.
Go to any Islamic country stand up and announce you are an atheist, or a gay person, or just question any aspect of Islam...........you will find out quickly how peaceful the religion is.

Sainte Jeanne d'Arc hey I remember you from tree of Logic’s streams. Do you still watch?
PSA: She runs the Ayaan Hirsi Ali Foundation, which works on helping victims of FGM, honor violence, and other terrible things. It lobbies the government to bring their attention to the crimes and make such things illegal.
Excellent analysis of political Islam and how to defeat it.
An actual feminist. This is the type of feminist I can get behind.
One of your best interviews that I have seen. I adore this woman. I hope we are listening.
As an open minded person this has been one of the best explanation of Islams ultimate goal. I thought it was just the haters that had issues with Islam. This is real & a real threat to life we now know.
Such a smart, brave and beautiful woman!
Americas hero . She's so inspiring she almost makes me want to cry .
Loved her book, Heretic, she is a brave and intelligent lady.
People should listen to Ayaan and read her books. Most of the stuff published in the media just is not correct. She is a good human being.
Ayaan, we need you in The Netherlands.
Ayaan used to live in the Netherlands and worked in the government to attempt to make a difference and left due to better opportunities in USA. Amsterdam had the chance and let her go due to a hospitable environment that couldn't protect her for speaking out against radical islam.
She'd have to be crazy to go back to lost cause holland.
She left because The Netherlands is an Arab nation.
You had her... you kicked her out!
jybuys you are not able to protect her over there. Muslims run rampant, are fearless and are off the hook in Europe. Europe has become a paradise for Muslims. Here in America, she’s safe, she has protection and vast support.
Ms Ali is a magnificent human being, courage and integrity abound in this person.
I completely agree with the host, this woman is beautiful intelligent and very well spoken. But her most important quality is that she is brave for standing up to the islamic expansionist ideas. Very well spoken , crystal clear thoughts and full of wisdom. I have downloaded the pdf book. Thank you for this interview.
A great woman speaks out against a vile thing
We need her is Sudan and South Sudan, she really brelian lady ever.. She is my favorite teacher in religion matter
How refreshing to see a programme focusing on intelligent conversation.
Eye opener! Long live Ayan
Thank god for Ayaan Hirsi Ali and thank you Peter for bringing her on to enlighten us about this great imminent takeover of our way of life...!
Ayaan, thank you! God bless you!!! Dont give up!!! We thank you!!!

Guys, if you saw the vid there are urgent matters to comprehend and defend and this is not one of them.
yes thank you ayaan! i love you!!

THANK YOU for this magnificent interview.
The sad thing is that the people who won't listen will not be here when it'll implode.
She is such a light on a dark topic, and very much an authority for any questioning her motives, they are to help. I wish so much that she wasn't forced into hiding because of death threats from those in her former faith. The US is happy and lucky to have you, may you and yours be well - love from the heartland.
Great interview as always.
A breath of fresh air. Thank you so much Ayaan for understanding our position. - a Hungarian
What an education from such an articulate woman. She can help people use the most precise and accurate language to communicate the problem/dichotomy of personal tolerance v.s. political tolerance with no boundaries to the point of our own destruction. Never heard the discussion quite like that.
Amazing the courage and the intelligence of Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Thanks a lot.
If anybody can be seen in my generation an admirable feminist struggling for equality of all human beings, than it is Ayan Hirsi Ali.Intelligent,logic, informed, empathic and loving
She is brilliant. I wish that everyone should watch this video.
A shinning light in the darkness brought about by a toxic and dangerous ideoligy , the world needs Ayaan without a doubt.
This is an interview for the ages. Three years on and this is more relevant then ever.
Protect her at any cost
9:50 *_WOW!_* The answer to why our politicians don't *_want_* to understand what Islam is about - expressed with mind boggling clarity!
She is the ultimate example of the perfect human being.
I know that this is an older interview and I stumbled upon it today. How blessed I feel to have heard Ayaan Ali explain something so sincerely!

I always fell in love when she speaks.
God bless you Aayan Hirsi Ali.
Ayaan is brilliant, eloquent, crystal clear, and extremely brave. I wish she was still a member of Dutch parlement. She should enter the major US political stage as soon as possible.
This woman is a fucking hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one of the bravest and smartest people in the world, I wish I had a fraction of her courage
Great, great interview.

Respect 🫡
Very knowledgeable
Keep doing what you're doing Ayaan!
I have the utmost respect for you Ayaan! Thank you for enlightening me; I could not agree more with the previous comment!
Absolutely first class interview ..
thank u hirshi.....i see this happening in the last 10 yrs.....islam is using all tools available to speed up islam in the west....
Trump needs you in the administration.
Cesar Milstief please make this happen
Cesar Milstief
She disagreed with Trump's Muslims band.
Cesar Milstief. What makes you think he would take advice from a "woman" other than Ivanka... especially a black woman?
JCsTurn68 C Shame
Cesar Milstief Isnt it paradox that trump made the biggest weapon deal in the last 50 years with the most radical islamic country in the world? Saudi arabia.... And that the obama administration supported the fsa rebel groups who fight for sharia law in syria?
Mrs. Ali is just awesome! And after watching many videos I gotta say Mr. Robinson is doing a great job, evertime! Keep going!
I just read her book Infidel and I can only imagine the pain and suffering she (and many millions of people) went thru under Islam, the much touted religion of peace. The western mind cannot understand Islam because they look at it from a colonial mindset and not as a common man.
She is phenomenal. Read her book infidel. Shes a powerhouse. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thankyou Ayaan for encouraging critical thinks and having the bravery to challenge the claims of religious clerics that that they and t their ' holy book' has the answer to everything.
Huge Thank you for this interview!
Ayaan Hersi Ali is our heroine & we will defend her!!!!
Mad love for this gal. She has some serious fucking guts... And she’s probably the most American of the folks interviewed on this show.
what a first class interview with a brilliant intellectual ,who has first hand knowledge of the horows of islam . president trump should have her on his team ,share this as much as possible everybody should listen to her and act before its to late god bless her
I have a great deal of respect for the Hoover Institution for the information they help spread.
Enlightening, inspiring & hair raising warning of #Aiyaan if not taken seriously, west will suffer hugely.
She needs a much larger platform, such a courageous lady
Ayaan is very insightful, she has first hand experience and articulates this experience very well.
May God (or Allah) bless this courageous woman, and keep her safe for speaking out.
Love her! Thanks for the upload.
thank you both. Noble and wise discussion, respect. Thank you & thumbs up with all good things. Greetings from Azerbaijan +:)
As more than one Imam told me " Islam means SUBMISSION "... Not " Peace", tolerance of the intolerant is indeed cowardice ....
👍👍👍👍👍 Ayaan Hirsi Ali 💖💛💚🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
As another Somali athiest, we athiest Somalis like Ayaan should be discussing the problems in Somalia and how we can stop it.
SPACEOKAMI hey, I'm genuinely curious ; what's it like in Somalia as an atheist?
Atomic Bomb
@ lol, according to who? Our 17 year old are equivalent to your 30 year old.. just live in your bubble..
Well done! I am so satisfied to have come across this video. It answers many of my questions. I will get her books. Thank You.
I respect Miss Ali. Great work! Looking forward reading all her books !
Amazing woman.
She is an Angel.
Ayaan is the BOSS!
She is a wonderful person, full of wisdom.
I just looked for her book The Challenge of Dawa and it wasn't available on Amazon. Interesting. Hopefully, my local bookstore will have it.
