Continuing her journey from a deeply religious Islamic upbringing to a post at Harvard, the brilliant, charismatic and controversial New York Times and Globe and Mail #1 bestselling author of Infidel and Nomad makes a powerful plea for a Muslim Reformation as the only way to end the horrors of terrorism, sectarian warfare and the repression of women and minorities.
Today, she argues, the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims can be divided into a minority of extremists, a majority of observant but peaceable Muslims and a few dissidents who risk their lives by questioning their own religion. But there is only one Islam and, as Hirsi Ali shows, there is no denying that some of its key teachings—not least the duty to wage holy war—are incompatible with the values of a free society.
For centuries it has seemed as if Islam is immune to change. But Hirsi Ali has come to believe that a Muslim Reformation—a revision of Islamic doctrine aimed at reconciling the religion with modernity—is now at hand, and may even have begun. The Arab Spring may now seem like a political failure. But its challenge to traditional authority revealed a new readiness—not least by Muslim women—to think freely and to speak out.
Courageously challenging the jihadists, she identifies five key amendments to Islamic doctrine that Muslims have to make to bring their religion out of the seventh century and into the twenty-first. And she calls on the Western world to end its appeasement of the Islamists. “Islam is not a religion of peace,” she writes. It is the Muslim reformers who need our backing, not the opponents of free speech.
Interweaving her own experiences, historical analogies and powerful examples from contemporary Muslim societies and cultures, Heretic is not a call to arms, but a passionate plea for peaceful change and a new era of global toleration. In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo murders, with jihadists killing thousands from Nigeria to Syria to Pakistan, this book offers an answer to what is fast becoming the world’s number one problem.

Why are so few people talking about the eruption of sexual violence and harassment in Europe’s cities? No one in a position of power wants to admit that the problem is linked to the arrival of several million migrants—most of them young men—from Muslim-majority countries.
In Prey, the best-selling author of Infidel, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, presents startling statistics, criminal cases and personal testimony. Among these facts: In 2014, sexual violence in Western Europe surged following a period of stability. In 2018 Germany, “offences against sexual self-determination” rose 36 percent from their 2014 rate; nearly two-fifths of the suspects were non-German. In Austria in 2017, asylum-seekers were suspects in 11 percent of all reported rapes and sexual harassment cases, despite making up less than 1 percent of the total population.
This violence isn’t a figment of alt-right propaganda, Hirsi Ali insists, even if neo-Nazis exaggerate it. It’s a real problem that Europe—and the world—cannot continue to ignore. She explains why so many young Muslim men who arrive in Europe engage in sexual harassment and violence, tracing the roots of sexual violence in the Muslim world from institutionalized polygamy to the lack of legal and religious protections for women.
A refugee herself, Hirsi Ali is not against immigration. As a child in Somalia, she suffered female genital mutilation; as a young girl in Saudi Arabia, she was made to feel acutely aware of her own vulnerability. Immigration, she argues, requires integration and assimilation. She wants Europeans to reform their broken system—and for Americans to learn from European mistakes. If this doesn’t happen, the calls to exclude new Muslim migrants from Western countries will only grow louder.
Deeply researched and featuring fresh and often shocking revelations, Prey uncovers a sexual assault and harassment crisis in Europe that is turning the clock on women’s rights much further back than the #MeToo movement is advancing it.

I sin nya bok argumenterar Ayaan Hirsi Ali för att en reformation kan få slut på terrorismen, den sekteristiska krigföringen och förtrycket av kvinnor och minoriteter som varje år kräver tusentals liv. Hon uppmanar västvärlden att inte längre söka försoning med de radikala islamisterna och att sluta kalla dem som opponerar sig mot dem för islamofober. Uppmärksamheten borde riktas mot de reformsinnade muslimerna, inte det fria ordets fiender. Med briljant skärpa vädjar denna karismatiska och kompromisslösa författare för en fredlig förändring och en ny tolerant attityd över hela världen.

“Bevisen för att en del muslimska män begår sexualbrott ger populister och andra högergrupper och högerpartier kraftfulla verktyg med vars hjälp de kan demonisera alla muslimska invandrare. Om vi avlägsnar tabut från de här frågorna kommer högerkrafterna inte längre att ha monopol på debatten.”
I Villebråd lyfter författaren och kvinnorättsaktivisten Ayaan Hirsi Ali tabun kring debatten om muslimska mäns överrepresentation i sexualbrottsstatistiken. Med metodisk genomgång av statistik och med hänvisning till en stor mängd kriminalfall påvisar Hirsi Ali en korrelation mellan tillströmningen av utomeuropeiska migranter och en ökning av sexualbrott i det offentliga rummet, vars förklaring hon härleder till en brist på legalt och religiöst skydd för kvinnor i muslimska länder.
En överrepresentation av migranter från muslimska länder i sexualbrottstatistiken är enligt Hirsi Ali alltså inte bara en invandrarfientlig mytbildning, även om en sådan förekommer, utan ett faktiskt problem som varken kan eller bör förtigas. Däremot är inte en radikalt minskad invandring den lösning hon föreslår, utan en strängare assimilering och integration. Detta förutan, menar hon, kommer sexualbrotten att fortsatt öka och extremhögerns vindar blåsa.
