Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Author and Resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute
An outspoken speaker on women's rights in Islamic societies, the relationship between the West and Islam, and Islam in Europe, Ayaan Hirsi Ali will discuss her life since leaving the Netherlands, her attempt to reconcile her Islamic past with her passionate adherence to democracy and Western values. She will address her most-recent book Nomad, including her views on why the West must compete with the jihadis for the hearts and minds of its own Muslim immigrant populations, and how three key institutions of the West-universities, the feminist movement, and the Christian churches-can help Muslim immigrants to resist the fatal allure of fundamentalism and terrorism.
The World Affairs Council presents author Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Ms. Hirsi Ali has been recognized as one of Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People," and as Reader's Digest's "European of the Year". Her internationally-acclaimed, bestselling memoir, Infidel , was published in 2007. Her most recent book, Nomad: From Islam to America: A Personal Journey Through the Clash of Civilizations, was published by Free Press in May.
Event and VIP Reception cost includes a copy of Nomad. The first 500 registrants for this event receive a signed copy of the book. All other registrants will receive an unsigned copy of the book
