Welcome to Australia Ayaan

Ayaan Hirsi Ali will arrive in Sydney today amid tight security normally reserved for foreign dignitaries or royalty. Her writings and talks focus on what she calls the backwardness of Islamic culture and the persecution of Muslim women.

However, University of Technology Sydney Islamic law lecturer Jamila Hussain said Hirsi Ali's ideas were extreme and stigmatised Muslims. "I think she'd be better staying where she came from," Ms Hussain said. "I've read enough of her thoughts. It's a narrow and radical opinion, and I don't agree with it. She's obviously had some dreadful experiences, but they're not typical."

Nada Roude, of the NSW Islamic Council, said Hirsi Ali's comments on the prophet Mohammed were a "no-go zone". "They (prophets) are not just like you and me, they have special status - you're supposed to show respect," Ms Roude said. "There have to be boundaries in how far you go in respecting other's beliefs.

The reaction from the community is likely to be quite worrying." Hirsi Ali has written that under Dutch law, Mohammed's marriage to six-year-old A'ishah (whose age is disputed by Muslim scholars) and his subsequent consummation of the marriage when she was nine would make him a pedophile.

Ms Roude said there seemed to be a double standard about who was allowed to visit Australia, particularly as Hirsi Ali's visit appeared to have the potential to incite hatred.

Yeah whatever, let the woman speak freely, everyone else here supposedly has the right to voice his or her opinions, let this woman say her bit. As for the double standards, yeah sure, pigs are gliding by too, we have folks saying whatever the hell they want to here, about us and against us and we can’t get rid of them. No double standard here, Hirsi Ali isn’t inciting folks to blow up infidels or Muslims in the name of Jihad, she is welcome to speak in my opinion.

As for ‘special status’, you get your leftist pets to respect Christianity and you might get somewhere, till then suck it up.
