Ayaan Hirsi Ali Announces Conversion to Christianity

That is why I now not think about myself a Muslim apostate, however a lapsed atheist. Of course, I nonetheless have an awesome deal to study Christianity. I uncover a little bit extra at church every Sunday. But I’ve recognised, in my very own lengthy journey by way of a wilderness of concern and self-doubt, that there’s a higher method to handle the challenges of existence than both Islam or unbelief had to provide.

Ali has beforehand warned Islam is on the rise internationally and jihadist teams have proliferated whilst the remainder of the world professed to be prepared to counter its unfold.

The unfold of Islam has come regardless of the U.S. alone spending at the least $3.6 trillion on fight and reconstruction prices in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and Pakistan and sacrificing greater than 5,000 American service members and the tens of 1000’s of wounded U.S. troops.

As Breitbart News reported, the activist warned in 2017 “According to one estimate, 10−15 percent of the world’s Muslims are Islamists. Out of well over 1.6 billion, or 23 percent of the globe’s population, that implies more than 160 million individuals. Based on survey data on attitudes toward sharia in Muslim countries, total support for Islamist activities in the world is likely significantly higher than that estimate.”

Now she has turned her again on each Islam and atheism to embrace her Christian beliefs and feels prepared to rejoin the battle in opposition to Islamism. She wrote in her essay:

Western civilisation is beneath risk from three completely different however associated forces: the resurgence of great-power authoritarianism and expansionism within the types of the Chinese Communist Party and Vladimir Putin’s Russia; the rise of world Islamism, which threatens to mobilise an unlimited inhabitants in opposition to the West; and the viral unfold of woke ideology, which is consuming into the ethical fibre of the subsequent era.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali gave the keynote handle at a sold-out occasion in Boston in 2015 that centered on rising anti-semitism on school campuses in North America.

She stated then college students are being “misled.” Denouncing “virulent anti-Semitism” on school campuses, she asserted freedom should be fought for and defended wherever it’s challenged: “The least we can do is boycott, divest, and sanction campuses that compromise academic freedom.”
