Infidel; A Spiritual Warrior Book Review

Perusing thrift stores these days I often find myself in the book section sometimes running into meaningful coincidences. So then, this is how Ayaan Hirsi Ali ended up in the hands of the spiritually aware. As an ex-atheist, I knew about her book but it never excited me to read specifics and details of a Muslim religion where the overall philosophy is already well-known. Looking back I would call myself cynical and politically apathetic. After lightning bolt level enlightenment, Hirsi's story calls to me.

Ali shares heritage with a Congresswoman in hot topic at this time, Representative (D-MN) Ilhan Omar. Both women were Muslim refugees from Somalia. As seen through book quotes, and Omar photos, Americans concerned about the growing Muslim community in America will find their concerns warranted in reading Infidel, (2006).  There remains hope for a better future as Ayaan takes us on her spiritual journey and escape from the imprisoning spirituality of Islam.

Questions are the sign of high intellect and Miss Ali held on to lingering questions even while struggling to cope with a primitive and intellectually debilitating religion. Intellectual integrity was her life raft in a sea of inhumanity. Intellect won out bringing her to safe shores but she may be one out of a hundred, one in a thousand! Nevertheless, her story confirms pronouncements here that intellect must be secured first or one is liable to fall for and remain in any religion. A desire to discover the unknown,  to move away from ignorance, curiosity fuels questions and good answers build character, intellect, spirituality and indeed our world.

We do not know whether Ayaan still counts herself among disbelievers. What is known is that humans are inherently spiritual beings and need a measure of spirituality to survive, grow, and ascend. Let us pray Ali finds the right path to true spirituality and power it brings. As it happened to this ex-atheist, lightning of enlightenment may yet strike author, Somalian refugee, and one time member of the Dutch Parliament.  Until then, her work continues to help our world discover and expose monsters hiding under pitifully pious pronouncements of peace and love.

I would not have put it in this way in those days, but because I was born a woman, I could never become an adult. I would always be a minor, my decisions made for me. I would always be a unit in a vast beehive. I might have a decent life, but I would be dependent—always—on someone treating me well.

Muhammad attempted to legislate every aspect of life. By adhering to the rules of what is permitted and what is forbidden, we Muslims suppressed the freedom to think for ourselves and to act as we chose. We froze the moral outlook of billions of people into the mind-set of the Arab desert in the seventeenth century. We were not just servants of Allah, we were slaves.

Somalis never said “Sorry” or “I made a mistake” or “I don’t know”: they invented excuses. All these group strategies to avoid confronting reality depressed me. Reality is not easy, but all this make believe doesn’t make it easier.

Muslim schools reject the values of universal human rights. All humans are not equal in a Muslim school. Moreover, Islam fails to develop creativity—art, drama, music—and they suppress the critical faculties that can lead children to question their beliefs. They neglect subjects that conflict with Islamic teachings, such as evolution and sexuality. They teach by rote, not question and they instill subservience in girls. They also fail to socialize children to the wider community.

Even Amnesty International didn’t keep statistics on how many women around the world were victims of honor killing. They could tell you how many men were imprisoned and tortured, but they couldn’t keep tabs on the number of women flogged in public for fornication, or executed for adultery. That wasn’t their subject.

Representative Ilhan Omar proudly wears the Somali version of or the hijab itself, a symbol of her subservience to Islam and Allah. Wearing the hijab condones ritual abuse of women, honor killing, pedophilia, and blind ignorance under the cover of diversity. Diversity is just one of many buzz words used by liberal Democrats to push their delusions upon an American majority. They rely on force, coercion, corruption and outright fraud to push progressive Socialism down the throats of America. Islam is dangerous but Democrats are worse as they facilitate Islam and the destruction of America. Americans would never willingly slit their own throats by electing politicians who look and sound like vile ignoramuses or terrorists. 

Reject delusions, misinformation, denials, lies, and incredible corruption of liberal Democrats. That is a bonus we get from reading the captivating, Infidel. 

We recognize the true nature of an American Congresswoman thanks to what she says and does not say.  Omar, along with at least two of her Democrat colleagues look more and more like terrorists. We cannot expect federal law enforcement and justice to help Minnesota. Americans must endeavor to fundamentally change government for the good of humanity once and for all time. A government that allows unwavering incompetents and proud terrorists into positions of power is not a government. It is a vile circus. It is new Fascism.

Like Ayaan Hirsi, humans are upon this earth to become great and greater still. We shall never make our destiny under an openly malevolent and parasitic government.
