Atheists & Agnostics

I read her first book Infidel. It was captivating. It was great to see a Muslim woman standing up to the Islamic nonsense, and she didn't seem all that hawkish on war against Islam.

Since then I have heard and seen some yellow flags of caution on Ayaan. She became a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and has been aligning herself with neocon hawks like Richard Perle and is a big Netanyahu supporter. Rightwingers love her. She became very hawkish on all-out war with Islam.

I detest the barbarity of ISIS and the general stupidity and cruelty of Islam probably as much as anyone here, but I don't think we need to dive into another fucking war, especially one pitting one religion against another, and she seems to insist upon it.

I've lost my admiration for Ayaan.

Some interesting info here, at the Institute for Policy Studies and their Right Web. I'm sure you can find other threads.
