„Opuszczam Holandię ze smutkiem, ale i z ulgą.”

„Religia – każda religia i każda święta księga – jest w demokracji przedmiotem krytyki, a czasem też i kpiny. Może to być bolesne i trudne, każdy bowiem, kto czuje, że coś mu najdroższego nie jest podzielane przez innych, musi pogodzić się z poczuciem przegranej. Ale taka jest istota wolnego społeczeństwa – prawo wierzących jest także prawem niewierzących i prawem odszczepieńców. Nikt nie może żądać wolności dla siebie i nie chcieć bronić tej wolności dla innych.”

„Holandia się zmienia. Zderzenia i konflikty są naturalną częścią tych zmian – dopóki są rozwiązywane za pomocą słów, a nie przemocy.”

„Holenderski rząd nie powinien finansować szkół koranicznych, ponieważ odrzucały one wartości uniwersalnych praw człowieka. W szkołach tych nie wszyscy są równi. Ponadto nie przestrzega się w nich wolności słowa i sumienia (…) Zaniedbywane są przedmioty, które pozostają w sprzeczności z nauczaniem islamu, takie jak ewolucja i seksualność. Nauczanie odbywa się metodą pamięciową, a nie poprzez zadawanie pytań. Wpajana jest także, szczególnie dziewczętom, uległość. Nie wdraża się dzieci do życia w społeczności szkolnej i lokalnej, co powoduje późniejsze trudności integracyjne.”

Ayaan Hirsi Ali

„Opowieść w Koranie jest prosta i płaska: Hiob zostaje wystawiony na próbę, jest posłuszny i zostaje za to wynagrodzony. Koniec historii. Opowieść w Biblii jest dramatyczna: Hiob buntuje się przeciw Bogu, rozpacza, wątpi, wybucha, oskarża Boga. Ten dramat w Koranie nie istnieje – i na tym polega zasadnicza różnica między obiema tradycjami.”

Ayaan Hirsi Ali

odpowiedź na pytanie, czym różni się Hiob z Biblii od Hioba z Koranu.

„Każdy rząd solennie obiecuje, że polepszy współpracę z innymi krajami w kwestii migracji i bezpieczeństwa. Jak dotąd żaden nie podjął efektywnych działań na płaszczyźnie europejskiej. Dla mnie jest to jeden z najważniejszych argumentów na rzecz europejskiej konstytucji. Zniknie bowiem wymówka.”

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Cytaty po angielsku

“People ask me if I have some kind of death wish, to keep saying the things I do. The answer is no: I would like to keep living. However, some things must be said, and there are times when silence becomes an accomplice to injustice.”

Introduction
Infidel (2007)

“On September 16, 1978, there was an eclipse of the moon in Riyadh. Late one afternoon it became visible: a dark shadow moving slowly across the face of the pale moon in the darkening blue sky. There was a frantic knocking on the door. When I opened it, our neighbor asked if we were safe. He said it was the Day of Judgement, when the Quran says the sun will rise from the west and the seas will flood, when all the dead will rise and Allah's angels will weigh our sins and virtue, expediting the good to Paradise and the bad to Hell. Though it was barely twilight, the muezzin suddenly called for prayer--not one mosque calling carefully after another, as they usually did, but all the mosques clamoring all at once, all over the city. There was shouting across the neighborhood. When I looked outside I saw people praying in the street.”

“My mother saw herself as a victim. Once upon a time she had shaped her future and made decisions -- she had left Somalia for Aden, divorced her first husband and chosen my father--but at some point, it seemed, she lost hope. Many Somali women in her position would have worked, would have taken control of their lives, but my mother, having absorbed the Arab attitude that pious women should not work outside the home, felt that this would not be proper. It never occurred to her to go out and create a new life for herself, although she can't have been older than thirty-five or forty when my father left. Instead, she remained completely dependent. She nursed grievances; she was resentful; she was often violent; and she was always depressed.”

“Here is something I have learned the hard way, but which a lot of well-meaning people in the West have a hard time accepting: All human beings are equal, but all cultures and religions are not.”

Ayaan Hirsi Ali

A culture that celebrates femininity and considers women to be the masters of their own lives is better than a culture that mutilates girls' genitals and confines them behind walls and veils or flogs or stones them for falling in love. A culture that protects women's rights by law is better than a culture in which a man can lawfully have four wives at once and women are denied alimony and half their inheritance. A culture that appoints women to its supreme court is better than a culture that declares that the testimony of a woman is worth half that of a man.

“Beware of zealots of any flavor. Beware of proselytizers of religious utopias. And beware of professors who confuse teaching students how to think with teaching them what to think.”

“In the real world, equal respect for all cultures doesn’t translate into a rich mosaic of colorful and proud peoples interacting peacefully while maintaining a delightful diversity of food and craftwork. It translates into closed pockets of oppression, ignorance, and abuse.”
