1.) Ayaan Hirsi Ali speaks about the bright and dark aspects of our time and her relationship with the American Jewish Committee.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali spoke to the American Jewish Committee, Los Angeles at the Creative Artists Agency in Century City, a night to remember. It was striking that the news of her immigration to the USA was played down in the media. I've read different reasons for her departure from the Netherlands, some striving to find a hint of scandal. Her own account pivots on the need to fight the good fight in a language that reaches more people in the world than Dutch, although she was careful to note how wonderful the Netherlands is (I concur, I love that place). She did say that the USA was a fulcrum of the struggle to bring the Muslim world into modernity and as she is someone who is living under a fatwa and is advancing into civilizational storm, it all makes sense to me.
I didn't disable the chime in my camera before the talk began at the CAA for Ayaan Hirsi Ali, so I was reticent to capture the introduction to her talk there. Sometime towards the end, I used the applause as cover to flip open my camera and so I captured six video clips to give you all a feel for what happened last night.
