 Inspiring story from a very brave woman October 7, 2008
It takes a lot of courage to stand up against the views of your family, community, country, religion. Not many people would put their own lives in danger for the benefit of helping others. Ayaan's story is unique and her style very easy to read. It is very inspiring!
 Still have some questions October 6, 2008
This was a very interesting read and I was intrigued by the author's life from childhood until her escape to the Nethelands and subsequent involvement in politics there. However, I question Ali's complete disavowel of Islam and wonder if she, instead, should be condemning the oppressive cultural behaviors of Muslim extremists instead of the religion as a whole. For this reason, I would have liked a more in depth analysis of the positions that, ultimately, led to her leaving the Parliment and the Netherlands.
great book October 4, 2008
Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali was a great read. I was overwhelmed by her courage in moving out of a culture she had grown up in because it stifled her sense of self as a women and as an intellectual person who couldn't bear the restraints that her culture had put on her. To give up family and home and be any alien who had to get a whole new life together and then to shine in her choice, makes it a must read for any woman in that kind of situation. I was so impressed I want to read more of her works.

Another good read, that every individual should read, if they want to know how a woman is treated in the Moslem religion.
The Infidel September 30, 2008
I actually ended up listening to the audio version (read by the author) and loaning the book to a friend. This is an incredible story told by the incredible lady who lived it. If you want to learn more about the plight of women in the world and what many do to survive then this is the book for you. Very well written - definitely on my "recommend to others" list.
