Salon Attacks Ayaan Hirsi Ali


The scum is seething up from between the cracks of civilization:
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is dangerous: Why we must reject her hateful worldview 
To endorse Hirsi Ali—as pundits everywhere from Fox News to network news have—insults and mocks a billion Muslims 
Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been back on American television lately, mounting scathing attacks on Islam as she promotes her newest book. 
Her outbursts are the outcome of her own pain — the brutal physical scars inflicted on her body during childhood, justified by an intolerant radical version of the religion into which she was born. 
Having suffered abuse at the hands of those who embraced the literalist, monolithic view of the Saudi Wahhabi tradition of Islamic law, her writings are suffused with an abiding rage at the beliefs of her tormentors.
No link for scum like Salon.

Here's the thing, they say Hirsi Ali's rage comes from things that happened to her that were the result of a "literalist interpretation" of Islam.

Perhaps the worst thing that happened to Hirsi Ali is that Muslims lopped off her clit.

This is a practice called Female Genital Mutilation, and it is  a common occurrence in the Muslim world. In Somalia, where Hirsi Ali was born, UNICEF statistics show the rate of FGM is 98%.

In Egypt, the rate is 91%.

So this "literalist" interpretation of Islam has quite a hold in the Muslim world.

In most of the Arab world, the cradle of Islam, research is not allowed. So while UNICEF claims the rate of FGM in Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations, is high, they are not able to give us numbers they feel are accurate.

So the question is, where is this non-literalist Islam practiced?

Where are normal human beings safe from the scourge of Literalist Islam?

Where?

Fuck you, Salon.
