Best-Selling Author Ayaan Hirsi Ali to discuss her new book, Heretic: Why Islam Needs A Reformation Now.
Please join us for a discussion with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, author and Founder of the AHA Foundation, on her new book, Heretic: Why Islam Needs A Reformation Now.
Continuing her journey from a deeply religious Islamic upbringing to a post at Harvard, the brilliant, charismatic and controversial New York Times bestselling author of Infidel makes a powerful plea for a Muslim Reformation as the only way to end the horrors of terrorism, sectarian warfare and the repression of women and minorities.
Today, she argues, the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims can be divided into a minority of extremists, a majority of observant but peaceable Muslims and a few dissidents who risk their lives by questioning their own religion. But there is only one Islam and, as Hirsi Ali shows, there is no denying that some of its key teachings—not least the duty to wage holy war—are incompatible with the values of a free society.
