Related: About this forumSouth Park Muhammad Cartoon Sparks Jihadi Death Threats - Ayaan Hirsi Ali
&feature=player_embeddedThis is two years old but I think its relevant given the recent violence in the middle east.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali has done a lot of work on how fundamentalist Islam represses women. She worked on the film that got Theo van Gogh killed. The South Park creators got death threats and she is saying that they need to be taken seriously when people threaten violence.

well I guess she would know about hating Islam funny though another Somali woman by the name of Waris Dirie who is also a human rights activist has also done some very admirable on womens rights and FGM but without Ms Ali's Islamiphobia seems to largely ignored wonder why that is?

This certainly isn't a black and white issue. I don't like religion, but the Islamophobes have their own agenda and it isn't peace.
