The West is currently described as a 'cut flower civilization', implying that it is living on the remnants of a Christian and biblical culture but lacks the deep roots to sustain its strength. When a civilization disconnects from its roots, it loses the ability to draw on its historical strengths, making it vulnerable to civilizations with deep-rooted values, despite potential flaws in those civilizations' ideas.
Born in Mogadishu, Somalia, Ayaan Hirsi Ali's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Raised in a devout Somali Muslim family, Ayaan received a strict Muslim education and fled a forced marriage. Armed only with intellectual curiosity and unwavering determination, she sought refuge in the Netherlands, where she was first exposed to the ideas of the West. It was here that she found her voice, her passion for women's rights, and her commitment to challenging the status quo. Ayaan has become a prominent voice for reform within Islam and has dedicated her life to advocating for the rights of women, minorities, and dissidents living under oppressive regimes. Tune in for a compelling dialogue with one of the world's most fearless voices.
