Would you believe my mother actually jokingly refers to me as Ayaan Hirsi Ali sometimes?
Reading 'Infidel' was a pivotal point in my apostasy journey so I
sorta have a soft spot for Ayaan
Wow, that's a weird thing for a Somali mother to be doing.
By the time a Somali daughter is comparable with Hirsi Ali, the mother might feel she is dealing with an apocalyptic problem here.
Edit: Btw, if Somalia one day becomes a stable secular state (maybe the day before our sun burns out) Ayaan Hirsi Ali will be looked back at with reverence and respect. The first Somali emancipator.
