FeatherFall Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) Wow. Nice find, on Al-Jazeera, no less. Though, I don't know how much of that made it on the air. Edited March 3, 2006 by FeatherFall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AisA Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 That was great! Who is she? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_Bradley Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 That was simply amazing. I watched this video at the library without any sound but she was so passionate I could almost hear her without it. I think the part that sticks in my mind the most was the comparison near the end of the Jewish reaction to the Muslim reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dondigitalia Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Brave woman.. hope her head isn't on a platter soon. She lives in the US, so I think she's safe. But yes, she is brave and truly heroic for the things she says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwareNerd Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Wow! Now that I played it, I realise why so many other wanted to come back to this thread and say, "Job well done". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

source Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Wow! I mean... WOW!!! There was a debate recently on the newsgroups and this video covers ALL the topics we talked about, and more. I posted the links there as a follow-up. I'm posting it on my croatian blog too. No! I'm posting it wherever I think it will be appropriate! Thank you so much, dondigitalia.

aequalsa Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 That brought a tear to my eye. I am stretching my mind to try to remember a public person who discribed themselves as 'a secular human being' in the US and I can't think of one. Stating her (correct)convictions with such pride and certainty is a rare treat. A speech like that should grant instantaneous citizenship if she is not one already. Thanks for posting it.

gags Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 She lives in the US, so I think she's safe. But yes, she is brave and truly heroic for the things she says. I hope you're right. The fundamentalists don't seem to be too shy about sticking a knife in someone they think has offended their fantasy, no matter where that person resides. What a hell of a woman.

DarkWaters Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Wow, I just saw this for the first time tonight. This woman is an epitome of intellectual courage. I particularly like the "people of many books" remark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Sophia~ Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) In case any of you have not seen this Bill Maher interview with Hirsi Ali.... Another amazing woman. Edited April 16, 2007 by ~Sophia~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RationalBiker Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 In case any of you have not seen this Bill Maher interview with Hirsi Ali.... Another amazing woman. I have not read it yet, but I recently bought her book "Infidel". It appears to be an autobiographical account of what it's like to be a woman in a Muslim society.
