[Ayaan Hirsi Ali](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayaan_Hirsi_Ali) has made it her raison d’être. But that means nothing.

And she of course took her licks, by the tolerant left:

[http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/09/us/brandeis-cancels-plan-to-give-honorary-degree-to-ayaan-hirsi-ali-a-critic-of-islam.html?\_r=0](http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/09/us/brandeis-cancels-plan-to-give-honorary-degree-to-ayaan-hirsi-ali-a-critic-of-islam.html?_r=0)

For some reason, the religion of Islam is given its own set of rules. In a free and open society, that is not allowed. Thus why the Middle East is an intolerant shit-hole that kills people who want to question things. Shame on the left for condoning it by attacking critics. They betray their best inclinations.

Never mind that ISIS exists because of conservative foreign policy…damn them all too…
