Well written and well argued, I highly recommend this book. Ayaan Hirsi Ali doesn’t paint with broad brushstrokes; she nuances her claims. I value her opinions all the more for her honesty. I don’t agree with some of the conclusions, but I absolutely think that she is raising awareness about a real problem that is rarely faced head on.

I literally couldn’t put this book down. I consumed it in 2 days. Ayaan is a true champion of women around the world. This book is data driven, compassionate, and honest. She goes to great lengths to clarify her intentions and aims for seeing the humanity in us all. Bravo!

Really interesting book about the influx of immigrants from Muslim-majority countries into (Western) Europe over the past several decades. Hirsi Ali is passionate about European politics, immigration, and women's rights--almost too much so at times. Her anger and emotions ring through the text and almost distract from her well-researched message at times.

A must read. It isn’t anti-immigration but pro-women. Discusses some options to the issues of Muslim integration into Western society. Some of the beginning chapters give a lot of statistics, don’t let that be off putting. Anyone interested in immigration and/or women’s rights should read this book.
