Neocon in Black Face

Two articles today. The first article deals with how Ali’s true ideology came to light, by Margaret Kimberley from Black Agenda Report:

The fairy tale story is just that. Ayaan Hirsi Ali exults in the lowest depths of self-hatred. She has become well paid and famous because she demonizes her fellow Muslims. As with black Americans or any other group of despised people, the self haters, the Uncle Toms, are given a clear path to fortune and favor.

When Ali left the Netherlands to live in the United States, her true ideology came to light. She became a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, one of the most powerful right-wing think tanks in the nation. Other AEI scholars include John Bolton, Lynne Cheney, David Frum, Newt Gingrich, Charles Murray, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, and John Yoo.

These are Ali’s cohorts, and her relationship with them should never be forgotten when she utters her noxious words about “defeating” Islam. She has no concern for Muslims who are being killed by the United States military, currently the most prolific killer on earth. Her latest screed published on the op-ed pages of the New York Times, exhorted “moderate” Muslims to fight the “extremists” in their religion. As always, those in the powerless group are asked to condemn actions for which they have no responsibility.

On her latest article published on New York Times, Tariq Ramadan responses to her (A hat tip to MT. Akbar):

The future belongs to those who are able to consistently exercise self-criticism in the name of shared universal values and not because of blindly belonging to the artificial construct of “Western” or “Islamic” civilization, or because of a hidden ideological agenda.

  1. Well, Ali was the victim of FGM at the age of 5 while living in Somalia. That might account, at least in part, for some of her opposition to that culture.

    As for her coming to live in the US, she definately had a good reason to do so. Her life was in real danger from radicals in the Netherlands, one of whom had recently murdered her friend, film-maker Theo van Gogh.

    Not trying to be a troll here, I’m just sayin’

    Menopausal passage
    Islamophbia also has symtoms as it is
    known to be heretic decease, it can also
    spread out of wrong disposition and orientation of 23 kromosomes
    disorder, can be also one of the reasons, e.g
    PGM, but to that extent that one goes and
    joins the debile crowd of AEI’s think tanks,
    that is prognoses, the diagnoses can be mental
    treatment.

  5. There is whole lot of possibilities of jobs
    in USA for all coloured Islamophobes, just have
    to apply for it with ” valid cridentials ”
    and a solid resistance to the lie-detectors.
