Clash of Civilizations: Islam and the West (video)

Here is a video of a presentation made by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born American (formerly Dutch) activist, writer and politician. She is known for her views critical of female genital mutilation and Islam, and supportive of women's rights and atheism. She collaborated on a short movie with Theo van Gogh, entitled Submission (2004). Critical of Islam, it provoked controversy, and death threats were made against each of the two. Van Gogh was assassinated later that year by a Dutch Muslim.

In this video, a talk she gives at Yale University, she addresses many of our questions about Islam and what is going on there. This video is an hour and one-half long..... an hour of her presentation and and a half hour of Q & A. 

I commend this to your attention.......   [clipper]
