Toronto Star Islamist Propaganda

The Toronto Star’s resident Islamist, Haroon Siddiqui, attacks Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Why the jig is up for Hirsi Ali in Holland.

The Scientific Council for Government Policy had simply stated the obvious: Islam, like any religion, has many strands, conservative to liberal, with varying attitudes toward gender parity, and that Muslim nations “do not satisfy contemporary international standards on democracy and human rights, (but) in this, they do not differ from many other developing countries.”

The council also condemned “the climate of confrontation and stereotypical thinking,” the turf Hirsi Ali plays on.

The jig is up for Hirsi Ali in Holland. She may move to the U.S., as a fellow at the neo-con American Enterprise Institute.

She would be welcomed in certain circles, which, Klausen warned, “want to see in American politics the development of a kind of Islam-bashing we’ve seen in Europe for a while.”

The American ambassador to The Hague has already met her to pave the way. She and the Bush administration may deserve each other.

Also, it goes without saying that she is fully entitled to her views, however provocative.

The problem lies elsewhere — in the readiness of the paranoiac post-9/11 world to hear and believe the worst about Muslims and Islam. Hirsi Ali is just one of many to cater to that demand.
