Ayaan Hirsi Ali: The Value of Tolerance and Freedom in Western Civilization Watching America

    • Society & Culture

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is activist for women’s rights and the author of the book Infidel: My Life, and many others. In this episode of Watching America, Dr. Alan Campbell speaks with Ali about America, religion, cancel culture, the failures of American universities, and more.
Ali was born in Somalia in 1969 and took asylum in the Netherlands when she was 23. Within 10 years, she was a member of the Dutch Parliament. Ali became a U.S. citizen in 2013 and has become an international figure in the conversation of human rights. She is a staunch defender of classical liberalism and western culture from the perspective of an East African asylum seeker.
Her new book, Prey, comes out next year. It explores the alarming rise of sexual violence and harassment in Europe’s cities through statistics, criminal cases, and her own personal testimony.
