We have profiled Ms. Ali previously, two years ago. The current issue of The New York Review of Books reviews her Heretic: Why Islam needs a Reformation now under the lede "How She Wants to Modify Muslims." From the excellent review by Max Rodenbeck:
Discomfort, alas, comes easily when the subject, as in the Somali-born author’s three previous books, happens to be the sorry state of Islam. It takes little effort to raise alarm when Muslim terrorists terrify so effectively, and when scarcely a day now passes without some horror committed in the name of their faith. Bombs and hijackings are passé; today’s jihadists prefer studio-quality, slow-motion bloodletting, or atavistic barbarities such as rape, idol-smashing, mass beheading, and the carting off of virgin sex slaves.
...
For too long, she says, Muslims and Western liberals have argued that such atrocities, as well as the ideas and organizations behind them, are aberrations; that they represent a travesty of “true” Islam. Nonsense, she writes:
They are driven by a political ideology, an ideology embedded in Islam itself, in the holy book of the Qur’an as well as the life and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad…. Islam is not a religion of peace.
I want to be like her when I grow up. Here's the link.http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2015/dec/03/ayaan-hirsi-ali-wants-modify-muslims/
