“It is always difficult to make the transition to a modern world.
I moved from the world of faith to the world of reason - from the world of excision and forced marriage to the world of sexual emancipation.
Having made that journey, I know that one of those worlds is simply better than the other.
Not because of its flashy gadgets, but fundamentally, because of its values.
“The message… is that we in the West would be wrong to prolong the pain of that transition unnecessarily, by elevating cultures full of bigotry and hatred toward women to the stature of respectable alternative ways of life.” ― Ayaan Hirsi Ali
