AYAAN HIRSI ALI

2021. aastal ilmunud "Saak" (Prey) annab mõtlemapaneva pildi Läänt, eeskätt Euroopat tabanud ja üha tugevnevast sisserännusurvest ning selle mõjudest Lääne kultuurile. Autor Ayaan Hirsi Ali, kes on veendunud islamistist veendunud demokraadiks ja liberaaliks kujunenud aktivist, näitab laialdasele statistikale ja uurimistööle tuginedes, et valdavalt islamiühiskondadest lähtuv immigratsioon kannab endaga kaasas ka islamistlikke väärtusi. Läänes juurdudes toovad need kaasa naiste vabaduste ja õiguste järkjärgulise piiramise ning naiste kohtlemise "saagina", kellega meestel on õigus käituda oma äranägemist mööda. Ali sõitleb Lääne valitsusi ja arvamusliidreid nende mannetu reaktsiooni pärast immigratsiooniga kaasnevatele probleemidele ja silmade sulgemise eest probleemide tõeliste põhjuste ees. Oma teadmistele ja kogemustele tuginedes pakub autor välja ka rea konkreetseid samme, mille abil sundida sisserändajaid omaks võtma Lääne väärtusi, selle asemel et Läänele peale sundida endi omi. See raamat ärritab kahtlemata paljusid võltstegelikkuses unelevaid pseudoliberaale, kellest paljud elatuvad tühikäigul töötavast nn lõimimistööstusest.Autorist:Ayaan Hirsi Ali on Somaalia päritolu naisõiguslane ja aktivist, sõnavabaduse kaitsja ja New York Times'i bestsellerite "Uskmatu", "Neitsi puuris", "Nomaad", "Ketser" ja "Dawa esitab väljakutse" autor. Ali sündis 1969. aastal Somaalias Mogadishus, kasvas üles Aafrikas ja Lähis-Idas ning seejärel taotles pagulasena varjupaika Hollandis, kus temast pärast kodakondsuse omandamist sai parlamendiliige. 2006. aastal kolis Ali Ameerikasse, sai 2013. aastal Ühendriikide kodanikuks ning elab seal koos abikaasa, tuntud ajaloolase Niall Fergusoni ja kahe pojaga, töötades Stanfordi ülikooli juures. Ali on tuntud islamikriitik, kes muuhulgas hoiatab Lääne ühiskondi massilises sisserändes peituvate ohtude eest. Ta asub al-Qaida mõrvanimekirjas kõrgel kohal."Naiste õigused on lääne ühiskonnas pikka aega olnud keskne aruteluteema. Juttu on ajaloolisest ebaõiglusest, koduvägivallast ning triibuliste nimekirjade vajalikkusest. Sel võitlusel naiste nimel on aga üks suur pimekoht, millest eelistatakse mööda vaadata ja mis muudab ka ülejäänud võitluse omajagu silmakirjalikuks. Selleks on immigratsiooniga läände jõudnud islami kogukondade suhtumine naistesse. Koos massiimmigratsiooniga on saabunud ka täiesti teistsugune käitumiskultuur. See alandab ja piirab naisi moel, mis läänes peaks mõjuma ennekuulmatu ja lubamatuna. Ometi seda lubatakse - kas või sellest mööda vaatamise kujul - ning vägivaldne ja naisi ahistav käitumine on muutunud justkui aktsepteeritavaks osaks lääne kaasaegsest kultuurist.Käesolev raamat avab seda nähtust naise pilgu läbi, kes tunneb nii islami kui ka lääne kultuuri ning analüüsib olukorda isiklikele kogemustele ja statistilistele uurimustele toetudes. Silmiavav lugemine kõigile, kes ei taha pimekohast mööda vaadata."- Maarja Vaino, kirjandusteadlane

Varför talar vi så lite om det ökade sexuella våldet i Europa? Och varför är det tabu att diskutera problemet i relation till den ökade invandringen av unga män från muslimska länder?Ayaan Hirsi Ali menar att det pågår en tyst men genomgripande urholkning av kvinnors rättigheter i delar av Europa. Hon har själv flytt förtryck och menar inte att invandringen måste upphöra, utan att kraven på assimilering och integration måste öka i kraft. Framförallt måste vi sluta att tabubelägga ämnet, annars riskerar vi att populister och andra högergrupper får monopol på debatten.Villebråd avslöjar en europeisk kris. Om inte utvecklingen stoppas riskerar framstegen för jämställdhet och kvinnors rättigheter att gå bakåt – längre än vad #metoo-rörelsen har fört dem framåt.

Why are so few people talking about the eruption of sexual violence and harassment in Europe's cities? No one in a position of power wants to admit that the problem is linked to the arrival of several million migrants--most of them young men--from Muslim-majority countries.In Prey, the best-selling author of Infidel, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, presents startling statistics, criminal cases and personal testimony. Among these facts: In 2014, sexual violence in Western Europe surged following a period of stability. In 2018 Germany, "offences against sexual self-determination" rose 36 percent from their 2014 rate; nearly two-fifths of the suspects were non-German. In Austria in 2017, asylum-seekers were suspects in 11 percent of all reported rapes and sexual harassment cases, despite making up less than 1 percent of the total population. This violence isn't a figment of alt-right propaganda, Hirsi Ali insists, even if neo-Nazis exaggerate it. It's a real problem that Europe--and the world--cannot continue to ignore. She explains why so many young Muslim men who arrive in Europe engage in sexual harassment and violence, tracing the roots of sexual violence in the Muslim world from institutionalized polygamy to the lack of legal and religious protections for women. A refugee herself, Hirsi Ali is not against immigration. As a child in Somalia, she suffered female genital mutilation; as a young girl in Saudi Arabia, she was made to feel acutely aware of her own vulnerability. Immigration, she argues, requires integration and assimilation. She wants Europeans to reform their broken system--and for Americans to learn from European mistakes. If this doesn't happen, the calls to exclude new Muslim migrants from Western countries will only grow louder. Deeply researched and featuring fresh and often shocking revelations, Prey uncovers a sexual assault and harassment crisis in Europe that is turning the clock on women's rights much further back than the #MeToo movement is advancing it. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Continuing her journey from a deeply religious Islamic upbringing to a post at Harvard, the brilliant, charismatic and controversial New York Times and Globe and Mail #1 bestselling author of Infidel and Nomad makes a powerful plea for a Muslim Reformation as the only way to end the horrors of terrorism, sectarian warfare and the repression of women and minorities. Today, she argues, the world's 1.6 billion Muslims can be divided into a minority of extremists, a majority of observant but peaceable Muslims and a few dissidents who risk their lives by questioning their own religion. But there is only one Islam and, as Hirsi Ali shows, there is no denying that some of its key teachings-not least the duty to wage holy war-are incompatible with the values of a free society. For centuries it has seemed as if Islam is immune to change. But Hirsi Ali has come to believe that a Muslim Reformation-a revision of Islamic doctrine aimed at reconciling the religion with modernity-is now at hand, and may even have begun. The Arab Spring may now seem like a political failure. But its challenge to traditional authority revealed a new readiness-not least by Muslim women-to think freely and to speak out. Courageously challenging the jihadists, she identifies five key amendments to Islamic doctrine that Muslims have to make to bring their religion out of the seventh century and into the twenty-first. And she calls on the Western world to end its appeasement of the Islamists. "Islam is not a religion of peace," she writes. It is the Muslim reformers who need our backing, not the opponents of free speech. Interweaving her own experiences, historical analogies and powerful examples from contemporary Muslim societies and cultures, Heretic is not a call to arms, but a passionate plea for peaceful change and a new era of global toleration. In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo murders, with jihadists killing thousands from Nigeria to Syria to Pakistan, this book offers an answer to what is fast becoming the world's number one problem.

Kun muslimi näkee sinut lukemassa tätä kirjaa ja sanoo tuo loukkaa tunteitani, tulisi sinun vastata: Kumpi on tärkeämpää? Pyhä kirjoituksenneko vai tämän kirjan kirjoittajan elämä? Pyhä kirjoituksenne vai oikeusvaltio?Elämä, vapaus ja ihmisarvo - kaikki ne ovat tärkeämpiä kuin mikään pyhä kirjoitus. Kristityt ovat käyneet tämän jo läpi ja niin ovat juutalaisetkin. Nyt on muslimien vuoro käydä se läpi. Tässä mielessä - siinä mielessä, että uskon vahvasti jumalanpilkanvoiman muuttavan maailmaa - je suis Charlie.Islamilaisen reformaation aamunkoitto on oikea hetki muistuttaa itseämme siitä, että oikeus ajatella, puhuaja kirjoittaa vapaasti ja pelkäämättä on paljon pyhempi asia kuin yksikään uskonto.Kansainvälisesti tunnettu, palkittu ihmisoikeusaktivisti Ayaan Hirsi Ali on kirjoittanut menestysteokset Infidel(suom. Pakomatkalla), Nomad ja The Caged Virgin (suom. Neitsythäkki). Somalialaissyntyinen ja muslimina varttunut Hirsi Ali vietti nuoruutensa Afrikassa ja Saudi-Arabiassa, kunnes pakeni Alankomaihin vuonna 1992. Siellä hän kipusi tehdassiivoojasta kansanedustajaksi. Hän on nimekäs puhuja, väittelijä ja kirjoittaja, ja Time-lehti valitsi hänet sadan vaikutusvaltaisimman ihmisen listalle.Hirsi Ali on perustanut naisten oikeuksia puolustavan AHA Foundationin.

I sin nya bok argumenterar Ayaan Hirsi Ali för att en reformation kan få slut på terrorismen, den sekteristiska krigföringen och förtrycket av kvinnor och minoriteter som varje år kräver tusentals liv. Hon uppmanar västvärlden att inte längre söka försoning med de radikala islamisterna och att sluta kalla dem som opponerar sig mot dem för islamofober. Uppmärksamheten borde riktas mot de reformsinnade muslimerna, inte det fria ordets fiender. Med briljant skärpa vädjar denna karismatiska och kompromisslösa författare för en fredlig förändring och en ny tolerant attityd över hela världen.

Internationally bestselling author Ayaan Hirsi Ali tells the stirring story of her search for a new life in America, recounting dramatic stories of her family and the challenges they faced adapting to Western society as Muslim immigrants. Ayaan Hirsi Ali captured the world's attention with Infidel, her compelling coming-of-age memoir, which spent thirty-one weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Now, in Nomad, Hirsi Ali tells of coming to America to build a new life, an ocean away from the death threats made to her by European Islamists, the strife she witnessed, and the inner conflict she suffered. It is the story of her physical journey to freedom and, more crucially, her emotional journey to freedom--her transition from a tribal mind-set that restricts women's every thought and action to a life as a free and equal citizen in an open society. Through stories of the challenges she has faced, she shows the difficulty of reconciling the contradictions of Islam with Western values. In these pages Hirsi Ali recounts the many turns her life took after she broke with her family, and how she struggled to throw off restrictive superstitions and misconceptions that initially hobbled her ability to assimilate into Western society. She writes movingly of her reconciliation, on his deathbed, with her devout father, who had disowned her when she renounced Islam after 9/11, as well as with her mother and cousins in Somalia and in Europe. Nomad is a portrait of a family torn apart by the clash of civilizations. But it is also a touching, uplifting, and often funny account of one woman's discovery of today's America. While Hirsi Ali loves much of what she encounters, she fears we are repeating the European mistake of underestimating radical Islam. She conveys an urgent message and mission--to inform the West of the extent of the threat from Islam, both from outside and from within our open societies. A celebration of free speech and democracy, Nomad is an important contribution to the history of ideas, but above all a rousing call to action.

One of today's most admired and controversial political figures, Ayaan Hirsi Ali burst into international headlines following the murder of Theo van Gogh by an Islamist who threatened that she would be next. She made headlines again when she was stripped of her citizenship and resigned from the Dutch Parliament.Infidel shows the coming of age of this distinguished political superstar and champion of free speech as well as the development of her beliefs, iron will, and extraordinary determination to fight injustice. Raised in a strict Muslim family, Hirsi Ali survived civil war, female mutilation, brutal beatings, adolescence as a devout believer during the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, and life in four troubled, unstable countries ruled largely by despots. She escaped from a forced marriage and sought asylum in the Netherlands, where she earned a college degree in political science, tried to help her tragically depressed sister adjust to the West, and fought for the rights of Muslim women and the reform of Islam as a member of Parliament. Under constant threat, demonized by reactionary Islamists and politicians, disowned by her father, and expelled from family and clan, she refuses to be silenced. Ultimately a celebration of triumph over adversity, Hirsi Ali's story tells how a bright little girl evolves out of dutiful obedience to become an outspoken, pioneering freedom fighter. As Western governments struggle to balance democratic ideals with religious pressures, no other book could be more timely or more significant.

Muslims who explore sources of morality other than Islam are threatened with death, and Muslim women who escape the virgins' cage are branded whores. So asserts Ayaan Hirsi Ali's profound meditation on Islam and the role of women, the rights of the individual, the roots of fanaticism, and Western policies toward Islamic countries and immigrant communities. Hard-hitting, outspoken, and controversial, The Caged Virgin is a call to arms for the emancipation of women from a brutal religious and cultural oppression and from an outdated cult of virginity. It is a defiant call for clear thinking and for an Islamic Enlightenment. But it is also the courageous story of how Hirsi Ali herself fought back against everyone who tried to force her to submit to a traditional Muslim woman's life and how she became a voice of reform. Born in Somalia and raised Muslim, but outraged by her religion's hostility toward women, Hirsi Ali escaped an arranged marriage to a distant relative and fled to the Netherlands. There, she learned Dutch, worked as an interpreter in abortion clinics and shelters for battered women, earned a college degree, and started a career in politics as a Dutch parliamentarian. In November 2004, the violent murder on an Amsterdam street of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, with whom Hirsi Ali had written a film about women and Islam called Submission, changed her life. Threatened by the same group that slew van Gogh, Hirsi Ali now has round-the-clock protection, but has not allowed these circumstances to compromise her fierce criticism of the treatment of Muslim women, of Islamic governments' attempts to silence any questioning of their traditions, and of Western governments' blind tolerance of practices such as genital mutilation and forced marriages of female minors occurring in their countries. Hirsi Ali relates her experiences as a Muslim woman so that oppressed Muslim women can take heart and seek their own liberation. Drawing on her love of reason and the Enlightenment philosophers on whose principles democracy was founded, she presents her firsthand knowledge of the Islamic worldview and advises Westerners how best to address the great divide that currently exists between the West and Islamic nations and between Muslim immigrants and their adopted countries. An international bestseller -- with updated information for American readers and two new essays added for this edition -- The Caged Virgin is a compelling, courageous, eye-opening work.
