[edit] Criticism
There is a very critical piece on Hirsi Ali and her new book in Newsweek. See here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17204802/site/newsweek/ --Mon.
There is no doubt that Islamophiles will revere in any negative review of this book. Reading it myself, however, I can't help but admire the courage and the raw will to survive all the insanity this woman has lived through. It is a very honest and personal book. Instead of trying to discredit the book or the motivations of the author, a better approach would be to find other litterature to challenge her opinions.
I think the relatively extensive quoting of the few negative reviews that exist would better be cut back, or replaced with real references challenging her opinions. They bias the article instead of adding relevant information.
[edit] "ghostwriter of the second part of the book"?
I don't understand what is meant by "second part" here. Does that mean, Ms. Hirsi Ali wrote the first half of the book (the parts in Africa, Saudi Arabia, etc.) and someone else helped with the second half (the parts in the Netherlands)? Or does "second part" here just mean that a "second person" helped with the book? I don't speak Dutch, so I can't tell what the citation says. Any help? - Cendare (talk) 01:51, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
