Lyrics:

A campaign of enlightenment no less, that脗麓s what outspoken critic of fundamentalist Islam Ayaan Hirsi Ali wants to see. She says `all human beings are equal, but all cultures and religions are not.脗麓

As someone who grew up in Somali tribal culture, then in Ethiopia and Kenya, then sought asylum in the Netherlands where she did her university education, Ayaan Hirsi Ali is in a better position than most to make comparisons.

She does this in her latest book, Nomad. As she puts it, every place she has settled in, she has been forced to flee.

Ayaan lives in the US now, where she脗麓s a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington DC.
