Ugh, just came across this today. Absolutely disgusting.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali (who did end up speaking at Yale) faced an attempt to stop her speaking (from 37 University unions!!!!) - obviously, it started with Muslims. But look who else joined in?
This is ridiculous, and embarrassing. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, one of the bravest and most insightful true Feminists of the 21st Century who has unique insight into Islam and is a tremendous scholar was not opposed by women's groups (which baffles me, because she is preceisely pinpoints the patriarchal and misogynistic nature of Islam) but the Yale Atheist organisation?
Atheism, to me has always encouraged free debate and freedom to offend other religions (thus, many Atheists are anti-politically correctness, as PC protects religion). I just find it embarrassing how not only a women's organisation tried to get this woman fromnot speaking, but an Atheist organisation from one of the most prestigious universities.
Many Atheist scholars, from Harris to Hitchens have detailed how barbaric and evil Islam is; but Hirsi IMO is more precise in specific regards to Islam.
Thoughts?
