Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Islamism is the enemy we dare not name | The Brendan O’Neill Show 

If only someone of Ayaan's integrity was taking part in the running of the UK, instead of the gutless shower of cowards who are currently doing it.

I absolutely love this woman!!!

One of the most important voices of the 21st Century in the defense of free speech and the Enlightment values.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali understands Islamism and its objectives and strategy extremely well. She is also wonderfully articulate. How impressive she is!

'Islamophobia' -> Blasphemy law -> Shariah law.

With her experience and level headed view of Islam, she is a godsend to the west. We should all listen and act upon her utterances!!

Ayaan Hirisi Ali shows an excellent understanding of our threat from Militant Islam. We need more like her.

*_At this point in time I think that literally EVERYONE in our country knows about what "Multiculturism" and Islam is all about,_* *_and all the serious dangers that has come with it - So I cannot understand WHY we haven't done ANYTHING to stop_ *_it's onslaught / Influence in our beloved country ..._*

I fully agree and support Ayaan, as do all my family and friends.

The 52-year-old woman who posted a very bad Facebook message immediately apologised and deleted it. She was charged and, within days, was sentenced to over a year in prison. On the other hand, the man who, in front of a crowd, shouted into a microphone and in front of a camera, with gestures, that people he disagrees with should have their throats cut. He did not apologise or repent. After quite a long time, and a lot of comment, he was eventually charged - but not with incitement to murder. He is now on bail until January 2025.😡

How a Communist gets a Knighthood is beyond me. Why a Communist stands up for religion is even more baffling.

Brilliant analysis. Thanks, Ayaan. All politicians need to listen to this.🤔

I was so sorry to see The Guardian go the way it went, but now I'm watching the entire UK go the same way. I have nightmares about Owen Jones becoming PM!!

Thanks for having our Founder on! Ayaan Hirsi Ali's message needs to be heard by people across the globe. Her knowledge is invaluable. Follow us for more insightful content from Ayaan and the AHA Foundation!

Radical Islam is the snake in the grass Moderate Islam is the grass hiding the snake

"When we are weak we ask for freedom because that is in accordance to your values, when we are strong we take away your freedoms because that is in accordance to our values"

I can't find a single flaw in her logic. And yet there seems to be an insane hesitation across most of Europe to actually act on the lessons the past 30-40 years have demonstrated.

I’ve read all her books.. and her husbands. What an insight.

Thankyou so much for your bravery to both of you for putting the truth out there.❤🙏

Anyone who thinks it's possible to "go halfway" with Islam has not the SLIGHTEST idea about the tenets of that religion. It would be better if that was discovered before attempting to live without a head.

Ayaan for PM of the UK!!!! She is the only person who properly, accurately and acutely recognises all the problems.

Muhammad created Allah in his own image.

Incisive and in depth as always by this remarkable and brilliant woman. Thank you, Brendan.

Great lady I love to listen to her 🎉

Not islamism... islam. They all play for the same team.

She is great. Thanks mate

The proposed definition of ‘Islamophobia’ (in UK) would make it illegal to say that Islam was spread primarily by the sword (so…the Muslim Conquests, a historical FACT, supposedly didn’t happen). It would also make it illegal to say that Islamic involvement in social affairs and politics can be part of Jihad (despite the FACT that Dilly Hussain, among others, has told us it certainly is a recognised method of engaging in Jihad). Needless to say it would also make criticism of Muhammad illegal. The Muslim Council of Britain fully endorses the proposed definition. Given that they are Muslim scholars, one would assume they’re very well aware of those FACTS. Thus, they display a basic lack of moral integrity by endorsing something they know is not true. I wonder why? 🤔

Ayaan is on point. Thank you for upload.

Indeed, you now have a situation where it's " islamophobic" to talk about antisemitism!

I honestly think the UK is beyond saving, and I think Germany is on the brink.

Incredibly clear warning, when put into the context ofvthe last 40 years. Thank you, Ayaan.

Superb analysis of an unholy alliance and the critical importance of freedom of speech.

Ah! My hero! The young multicultural leftists of today weren't even born when the fatwah was issued.

Thank you both for an important fascinating talk 🙏🏽 I wish many people will hear this

There is no such thing called "\slamism". It's just plain and simple \slam!

So pleased to hear her on your show

It's good to hear Ayaan expressing emotions in this interview in a way I haven't heard her do before. It's also good to hear her laugh, even if it's in derision.

it's not islamism it's just islam

tHIS WOMAN speaks the truth and people should listen, but I know, anybody listening to this knows that. The ''oh be kiiiiind, let them beeeee'' brigade won't listen

Ayaan, so glad to see another interview. PLEASE, please get on the big podcasts in the US. We need you. Rogan, Tucker, Lex, and some large womans shows as well.

'Expressions of Muslimness' - the utterly depraved behaviour of the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2024?

She's brilliant!

So grateful for these two

Wow, this is what I’ve been saying and this is why I thought the big att*cks have been a lot less now. We are on a precipice and I don’t know if we (and I mean the majority of people with all ethnicities and faiths) can be saved.

THANK YOU AYAAN!!!!!

Cynthia Farahat has written a very good book on the Muslim Brotherhood.

Is it? As far as I can tell people have been naming it since the 2000s. It’s just that those in charge refuse to listen.

Are we awake now🕊

Iran is perfect example!!

God saves us from Stasi Starmer and his 'friends'.

Spiked is now finally moving through the gears...after a long, cold start. Getting there...

Ayaan's insight and accurate analysis of our current state is unmatched.

Ayaan is an absolute legend. I just love listening to her

Oh what a wonderful vidéo yet again. Transported into a fabulous World through Steven's eyes. Thanks Shauna

We are walking into an absolute catastrophe in the west, quite simply because we’re told we need to be ‘kind’.

"In the Arab World you are either the oppressed or the oppressor." - Nonie Darwish, describing her childhood in Egyptian controlled Gaza in the 1950s. This is the glue that unites Islamists and the radical left, despute all the differences between them. It's a very strong glue.

I've been looking at this for over 20 years now and ringing the alarm bell. Like Ayaan I've come to the conclusion that the humanists have failed to create am effective counter to Islam. The only force that successfully stood up to Islam in history was Christianity. This is because unlike Islam the message is one of hope. We need to understand, as our predecessors understood, that it is perfectly possible to be a rational human and a Christian. Removing spirituality left a vacuum that has been filled by its bastard child, wokeism.. which has the worst of fundamental Christianity and lacks the best: forgiveness, redemption, humility. You want to stop Islam? Time to go back to the only force that ever did.

Ayaan makes so much sense!!!

Fascinating interview Love Ayaan!!!

We have, I think, 85 Shariah Courts in Britain.

UK Love this Lady ,,thank you

We need so many more women like Ayaan.

What a riveting, and scary podcast. This is information that should be distributed as widely as possible. People need to wake up.

This is one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to. However, being part of the silent majority I know what could happen to my employment and that most people, even if I repeated what Hirsi Ali said word for word, would look at me at a lunatic at best and a complete racist at worst. It does feel as if the radical left and Islamism have us at check mate

As Christopher Hitchens said, ' The three most beautiful words in the world....Ayaan Hirsi Ali. '

Why arent governments listening to this lady. I think the muslims have already turned on labour theyve got 4 independent muslim politicians. What can we do to with stand this. Because irs not a world i wont for my grandchildren. We are Christians we dont wont sharia. Whats the answer ?.

Close your eyes, and it will go away.

This lady is very brave. God the Father of Jesus Christ bless her.

Very eye opening , thankyou ,I wish Starmer would listen to you.❤ the law is skewed at the moment.

37:47 - a Christian should be able to pray outside an abortion clinic without police harassment, but the public should be free to criticise them for doing so. The same goes for any expression of any religion.

Someone I can't recall said of Islam in America," common religion in America have already experienced having their religion stronglycriticized. This is a new experience for the Muslim people.' It's not an answer, but it's something to consider to understand their anger. It doesn't help that backhome it was criminal.

This podcast reminded me of a portentous passage I read in one of the Discworld novels, by Terry Pratchett. The Patrician, talking with Watch Commander Vimes about "bad" and "good" people said, "You see, the only thing the good people are good at is overthrowing the bad people. And you’re good at that, I’ll grant you. But the trouble is that it’s the only thing you’re good at. One day it’s the ringing of the bells and the casting down of the evil tyrant, and the next it’s everyone sitting around complaining that ever since the tyrant was overthrown no one’s been taking out the trash. Because the bad people know how to plan. It’s part of the specification, you might say. Every evil tyrant has a plan to rule the world. The good people don’t seem to have the knack.”

thank you

"In Islam, Taqiyya is a dissimulation and secrecy of religious belief and practice. Generally, taqiyya is regarded as the action of maintaining secrecy or mystifying one's beliefs." Wikipedia

I've lived in Saudi, and am tired of the self righteous ppl in the west who are so willing to surrender our social progress and gains for the sake of being polite to ppl who has absolutely no respect for women or the rights of others Islam has to learn to accept that ppl, especially women, have the right to say no

I would like to see an intelligent rebuttal to continue this education.

Voices in the wilderness 😢

The return of Stalinism is correct. I've been thinking that for several years now.

Jihadist Islamism in the modern sense began with the creation of Israel and Palestinian resistance. Several terrorist factions, such as the PLO and Hamas, were formed - all of whom engaged in various and lethal terror activities in order to regain land and expel Jews. A second faction grew in Central Asia, primarily as a result of the attempts of the US to start a holy war in Afghanistan and foment uprising in Muslim Soviet states, such as Dagestan. The purpose was to engage the USSR in a strangling, Vietnam-style quagmire and bring about the end of Communism. This recruiting and logistics branch became al-Qaeda and, after the war in Iraq, the sworn enemy of the West. Although the two factions are both jihadists, al-Qaeda denounced Hamas as 'infidels' for holding a democratic election and deviating from the 'will of God'. Al-Qaeda also disprove of Hamas for its fight for regional status, insisting instead that the jihad is international

Brendan, give your eyebrows a rest will ya?

Pragmatism. Altruism, and Religion are the enemies we dare not name, and Ayaan has joined the enemy.

Each islamic sect has a role to play. There’s the fighters, the politicians. Even the moderates exist to confuse people into thinking “not all muslims.”

What she is talking about with the UK Labour Party is broadly true but there was way more than a touch of Stalinism in New Labour. New Labour and the ‘Third Way’ are what set the direction for what we are coming to now - what is being called the ‘Unholy Alliance’. Most of it dates back to New Labour & specifically the combination of Blair, Brown, Campbell & Mandelson. Most post Blair politicians have not really understood what New Labour really was & Governments since have all continued the legacy without truly understanding it hence we are coming to the culmination of it now, nearly thirty years later. It wasn’t Corbyn who opened up the left to the extreme left it was New Labour’s interpretation of the state as a power for moral reform. You see this at home and abroad in actions and embedded in legislation.

It seems to me that in the UK at least it is not just an issue of free speech, but of all freedoms. What Keir Starmer is doing there is very close to what Lenin and Trotsky did when they came to power in Russia. I am not joking.

It is absurd to call Bernie Sanders extreme left, and the same for AOC. Anyone for democracy is not extreme it would seem to me. Correct me if I am wrong.

Tbf I can imagine that due to the time the originators of the Labour party would've been misogynists or just ambivalent about womens rights considering most labourers are men so Labour has gone back to their toxic roots instead of the few admirable talking points. Labour is anti women due to disallowing the criticism of schools of thoughts. Islam is not a race Starmer!

What are we going to do about the Muslims guys? How are we going to send them home legally?

Lebanon Lebanon Lebanon.

Oh Ayaan, if you don't like, it pray it away. Some of us stay rational for this fight rather than cuddling up to superstition, which is of course the very problem to begin with .

Bumsley useless tried very hard to bring in penalties re islam criticism. We need trump to win in usa

You have got that one...wrong...

I dunno, seems like people are quite comfortable naming Islamism. It's ISLAM that we're afraid to name. Now I'm just waiting for people to reply 'but what about the Jewwwwwws...?'

I dont think it's true that everyone supporting Palestine is supporting Hamas. Nor is everyone opposed to Israel antisemitic. Of course, it's also true that "Islamophobia" is a term used to silence perfectly reasonable criticism of Islam and Muslims.

There is something jewish about this video

Ayaan is always ready to jump on the next band wagon (this is an old one though)....but first riding the new atheist train (when it was popular) and now the devout christian train.....lack of intellectual integrity is her defining feature....
