Ayaan Hirsi Ali on Our Duty to Protect Women from the Sexual Abuse Crisis in Europe

Andrew Keen

May 11, 2021

In this episode of "Keen On", Andrew is joined by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the author of "Prey: Immigration, Islam and the Erosion of Women’s Rights", to discuss the sexual assault and harassment crisis in Europe, in the wake of mass migration, that is turning the clock back on women’s rights.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a Somali-born Dutch American activist, writer, and politician best known for her contention that Islam is fundamentally incompatible with Western democratic values, especially those upholding the rights of women. Projecting her views most extensively through her internationally best-selling autobiographical books, she has drawn exuberant praise from her strongest advocates and threats of death from her strongest detractors.
