It was acceptable in all faiths when a girl had her menstrual cycle for the first time even if she was as young as nine to marry them off. Society has evolved from this heinous practice. Today because society has evolved it is not necessary to marry a girl to a man in his forties. This is pedophilia whether by marriage or not. SHe never said Islam must be defeated , she said the mysoginistic principles of marrying girls off to men should be defeated and many practices societies condoned against women back then are by todays standards corrupt and awful. SOciety has evolved and so must religion. She has knowledge and experience and indepth understanding of Islam. She wrote of her own experiences in her faith and realized much which was taught to her has no place in todays society. She escaped from a marriage she was forced to have with an old man. She has experienced the mysoginistic principles that men have used against women by using the Islamic faith unappropriately to control a woman’s life.

If these two women help just one woman to find her own path then they are truly heros. Men who want to control women and dominate their life have a hard time understanding and appreciating Hirsi Ali and Irshad Manji. But I guess this is understandable.

Is it backwards , Islam has been used to perpetrate a backward society . Afghanistan is a perfect example of how Islam misused and followed by 1400 years ago mentality has retarded the growth of education, art , music , literature. When Islam is corrupted and used corruptedly by mullahs, clerics and men as it has been done in Sudan, Nigeria and Afghanistan to name a few countries then the critique of ‘backwardness’ is very much correct and proven as a truth. And as for the new fascism much that has been done within under Islamic rule to people in Afghanistan is nothing short of FACISM. Christians promoted facism in WWII , is was christian facism. The book burning in Afghanistan, the removal of girls and banning them from school, etc in afghanistan is a clear example of facism. To deny this is not to be critically objective but blind ignorance continuing the facist perpretation by mullahs, clerics and their supporters.

She simple did not state Islam as a whole must be defeated, what she conveyed was Islam as a whole needs to be revamped as Christianity did. Do you really believe Christianity of middle ages is applicable to todays society? NOT AT ALL. Therefore, like all dogma which is not absolute since it has man’s interference must be revisited to enusre it has not degenerated as has specifically in Afghanistan. Religion has very much been a tool by the powerful and influential through out history. ANd the people who had the power were men therefore , under critical analysis religion is very patriarchal , a proponent for male domination while in all three faiths, jewish, christian and Islamic women have had secondary roles. Orthodox , fundamentalist have damaged society. Strife for enligtenment is never easy but as we have witnessed in the younger generation change will occur.

An interesting fact about Afghanistan is that women had absolute equality under soviet influence. In the entire existence of that region women a brief period of freedom and equality only when the soviets were in Afghanistan. And now without the soviets it will be again.

And yes , Irshad Manji and Hirsi ALi are available to the Afghani women. The word is spreading…be

“Muhammad is, seen by our Western standards, a pervert”

“Measured by our western standards, Muhammad is… a tyrant. He is against freedom of expression. If you don’t do as he says, you will be punished. It makes me think of all those megalomaniacs in the Middle East: Bin Laden, Khomeini, Saddam. Do you think it strange that there is a Saddam Hussein? Muhammad is his example. Muhammad is an example for all Muslim men. Do you think it strange that so many Muslim men are violent?”

"Reason: Should we acknowledge that organized religion has sometimes sparked precisely the kinds of emancipation movements that could lift Islam into modern times? Slavery in the United States ended in part because of opposition by prominent church members and the communities they galvanized. The Polish Catholic Church helped defeat the Jaruzelski puppet regime. Do you think Islam could bring about similar social and political changes?
Hirsi Ali:*** Only if Islam is defeated. Because right now, the political side of Islam, the power-hungry expansionist side of Islam, has become superior to the Sufis and the Ismailis and the peace-seeking Muslims.
Reason: Don’t you mean defeating radical Islam?
Hirsi Ali: No. Islam, period. Once it’s defeated, it can mutate into something peaceful. It’s very difficult to even talk about peace now. They’re not interested in peace.
Reason: We have to crush the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims under our boot? In concrete terms, what does that mean, “defeat Islam”?
Hirsi Ali: I think that we are at war with Islam. And there’s no middle ground in wars. Islam can be defeated in many ways. ***For starters, you stop the spread of the ideology itself; at present, there are native Westerners converting to Islam, and they’re the most fanatical sometimes. There is infiltration of Islam in the schools and universities of the West. You stop that. You stop the symbol burning and the effigy burning, and you look them in the eye and flex your muscles and you say, “This is a warning. We won’t accept this anymore.” There comes a moment when you crush your enemy.
Reason: Militarily?
Hirsi Ali: In all forms, and if you don’t do that, then you have to live with the consequence of being crushed."

"The Trouble Is the West"

Again, either you’re not Muslim, or you know nothing about Ayaan Hirsi Ali, or you’re just an idiot. There’s no way any well-wisher of Islam & Muslims would consider this woman a role-model…
