"How many days will he give Ayaan? Another week to live? A month? And then it would be time for the butchers of fundamentalist Islam to move in?"IF WE LET THE ENEMY MURDER HER IT'D BE LIKE LETTING HITLER GET AWAY WITH KRISTALNACHT AND TAKING THE SUDATENLAND.
By now, while I have been swamped with other work and haven't been able to post anything about it, you have no doubt heard that the courageous ex-Muslim Ayaan Hirsi Ali has returned to the Netherlands -- whether temporarily or permanently is unclear -- as the Dutch government stopped paying for her security detail in the United States. That seems to be rather an odd arrangement in the first place, particularly after the Dutch tried to revoke her Dutch citizenship, but she still retains that citizenship. And this story explains that "as a Dutch citizen, Ayaan does not qualify for protection in the United States under US laws and regulations." ...
This sort of protection is expensive. Society bears the costs because freedom of opinion, a cornerstone of our culture, is on the line. The extremists, for their part, are prepared to risk their own lives to kill those under government protection.
The costs of protection are completely disproportionate to the outcome: the continued existence of our values and norms.

What a brilliant analogy. You deserve high praise for this one, my friend.
ReplyDeleteIf something happens to this brave and outspoken woman, all those who have denied her protection will be complicit in her death.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that she is being abandoned like this!
