Hirsi Ali on victimhood...

The West could learn a lot from Hirsi Ali....

She added that there are certain concepts relating to the Middle East crisis and immigration, which seem to have been built up over time especially amongst the Left. “In socialist eyes whoever isn’t white or western is a victim, which thus defines Muslims, Palestinians and immigrants as such. My position is that I am not a victim. I am responsible for my actions like anybody else and so are all people.”

The subject of Hirsi Ali’s feelings towards the moral decay of parts of European socialism was brought up a number of times during the interview.

“The crisis of Dutch socialism can be sized up in their attitudes to both Islam and Israel. They hold Israel to exceptionally high moral standards. The standards by which the Palestinians are judged are very low,” Hirsi Ali suggests.
