A Jesuit priest schools Ayaan Hirsi Ali for her lurid picture of Nigeria’s Muslims in Newsweek: http://www.religiondispatches.org/archive/politics/5671/ayaan_hirsi_ali%E2%80%99s_lurid_picture_of_nigeria%E2%80%99s_muslims_in_newsweek/

It’s hard to believe you swallowed the whole enchilada on this one, aziz. It truly is quite pathetic.

McK, I’d love to offer you a sideblog here at TI. Then you could write detailed explanations to your thinking and opinion and link to it. Right now I have absolutely zero idea what you think about this topic because all you’ve done is leave a “you’re wrong” comment. I’m ready to give you space to express your views, even if (and especially if) you disagree. Email me if you’re game.

Perhaps this will help:
Critic, Anthony Alessandrini, is talking… 2588 words. This person is shooting from the hip…guns blasting away.
The writer is not objective considering the subject matter.
Check his words:
…neo-con ideology,
…Hirsi Ali being … alarmist and deeply hateful a combination of…
…criminally careless tossing out of the term “genocide “…
…has been a standard practice of racism and fascism, those precursors of Islamophobia;
…Hirsi Ali is a connoisseur of all three.”
…neo-conservative reasoning…
…neo-con mantra that has been constant since the beginnings of the popular uprisings: if they get their democracy, we’ll wind up with the Islamists
…her own hideous Islamophobic arguments, is simply obscene …the dean of neo-imperialists, Niall Ferguson
…guarantees the continuing stigmatization of Muslims in North America and Europe.
…what could possibly be more sectarian and fundamentalist than Hirsi Ali’s vision of the world, with its terrifying simplifications and generalizations, and its reduction of genuine situations of violence and suffering to data whose only purpose is to power her relentless Islamophobia machine…

Fr. Ryan’s critique was short, thoughtful …perhaps condensed by editors but limited to Nigeria in Hirsi Ali’s article and his personal experiences in Africa. I liked his critique. A mere 1047 words. Hirsi Ali’s article is but 1760 words but covered some eight pages in Newsweek… most of which were photographs which I haven’t seen…therefore cannot judge the whole. Fr. Ryan, however, is the more objective to date to attempt to disprove Hirsi Ali’s assertions re: Nigeria.
His best line is:
“Hirsi Ali has jumbled together definite facts and outright unfacts in an impassioned article entitled, “The Global War on Christians in the Muslim World.” No doubt there have been tremendous challenges for the survival of Christian minorities in Muslim-majority countries like Pakistan, Iraq, and Egypt over recent months and years, but not every part of the world where Muslims and Christians live together is the same.
