The Blurb:

One of today's most admired and controversial political figures, Ayaan Hirsi Ali burst into international headlines following the murder of Theo van Gogh by an Islamist who threatened that she would be next. She made headlines again when she was stripped of her citizenship and resigned from Dutch Parliament.

There is so much going on in this book, I don't even know where to begin with a review! My friend zzz wrote a great review of it, but I won't copy it. :) There are probably 1000 reviews of this book on the internet, so I will just say that this book needs to be read by everybody, especially here in the West. It may be time to open our eyes to what is going on in Muslim countries, but also what continues to happen here when immigrants arrive and don't assimilate. We may run the risk of being called racist, but there are certain values that must be upheld (ie. equality of women, safety of children) if we are to continue as a civilized country.

Handed to my friend AQ.
