Its not an S, on my planet it means QUIPS

Why are westerners who haven't grown up in Islamic countries so critical of Ayaan Hirsi Ali? Like when she was a guest on the Daily Show, Jon Stewart would hardly let her talk, speaking over her whenever she tried describing her experiences, basically denying her the expression of them.

Do you think she makes any good points, and why do you think "liberal" western media is so opposed to her?

She's an extremely conservative person, so non-conservative westerners are probably gonna be pretty critical of her social and political views. Plus her tendency to stereotype or over-generalize, her support of hilariously disastrous military actions, lack of evidence reasoning and citation in her writings, etc.

Like just because I've had some bad experiences in Chinatown, doesn't mean I can say there is something fundamentally wrong with Chinese people and their culture needs to be completely changed if they want to be citizens.

Which scholar mentioned? Certainly, not Esposito. He's been exposed as being funded by islamist organizations and omitting many negative things muslims do.

Which scholar are you referring to?

Here's a "scholar" more in line with what you seek https://www.politicalislam.com/author/

He's seemed level headed in the interviews I've seen him do. Tries to mathematically quantify violence in the Qu'Ran.

If that's not enough to prove his smartness, he doesn't use his real last name, cuz it's got all these fraud charges connected to it in Florida! You should buy all his books
