Islam has become a subject no one anywhere can afford to ignore any longer. Although discussion of it has certainly increased in the West, all too often the debate is ruled by racism, ignorance or, most often, politically correct dogma.

As a woman who grew up under Islamic oppression, once a true believer and member of the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, who through rational thought and a desire for freedom and equality transcended the totalitarian ideology she was brought up with, Ayaan Hirsi Ali is uniquely qualified to make us aware of the threat that Islam poses to human rights everywhere. I cannot applaud her courage enough.

This book should be required reading for anyone who wishes to have an informed opinion about Islam.
