I just finished a book called "Infidel" by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and it was absolutely amazing! Her story seriously leaves me dumb founded. How a girl, from Somalia, who has been isolated for most of her life escapes an arranged marriage and moves to Holland and eventually is apart of the parliament of The Netherlands. Sheeeesh. I can't imagine doing all that and actually living in a free world where I am encouraged to fulfill dreams and none of my abilites or talents are supressed. She does this, knowing pretty much nothing about the world encompassing her.
Her whole campaign is to see the opression of Muslim Women over with. I am totally for this. The stories she tells of her childhood are absolutely horrid, I can't even imagine living in that kind of world. She no longer is apart of the Islamic religion due to her not being able to understand the Quaran and the horrible things within it. She is now an athiest. I am going to pray, pray, pray for her every day; that she comes to know Jesus and His love that nothing on this earth can transcend.
Here is the short film she made about the opression of women. I am warning you it is a very detailed and has vivid imagery, and it's not for people who can't handle intense things.
