WaPo lumps Ayaan Hirsi Ali along with Camille Paglia and Michael Moore (!!!) as being one of “idiosyncratic, opinionated, talented, flawed, impossible… iconoclasts, troublemakers, provocateurs, opportunists, polemicists.”

What???!!!

Let’s review who Ayaan Hirsi Ali is:

She scripted an 11-minute film about the Koran and domestic abuse of women that resulted in the throat-slitting assassination of its director, Theo van Gogh, by a Muslim fanatic.

The killer stabbed a note into the dying man’s chest. It was addressed to her.

It promised death.

If you’re having lunch with her — say, at Zaytinya downtown — a bodyguard employed by the Dutch government will call you a few minutes beforehand, saying, “I have a person to deliver to you.”

Michael Moore, in his entire bloated, pampered body, does not have the amount of courage AHA has in her left pinkie toe.

I met her at a meeting once, and whether or not one agrees with her views on Islam, it came through very clearly for me that she is a deeply principled person who is and has been willing to give her life to express them.

I cannot think of a greater insult to her than to be compared to an overweight Hollywood-feted poseur who purports to speak for the poor. The mainstream media’s attempts at moral equivalency are astounding, to say the least.
