On The Map with Avi Lewis: Ayaan Hirsi Ali & Islamophobia



Uploaded by: OnTheMapwithAviLewis
Video Description:
Avi's encounter with controversial author, politician and born-again America-booster, Ayaan Hirsi Ali who says there's no such thing as Islamophobia. Her extraordinary life story often eclipses the powerful role she is playing in the conversation about Islam and terrorism. As she herself said recently, "Right now the media are still lapping it up: a black woman who criticizes Islam."

This is just ... ( 1 week ago by Firestar213)
This is just another phase in American politics. First it was the great depression in the 30's , the "great" war struggle in the 40's , then the fear of communism in the 50's ,then in the 60's the fear of communism spreading, then the 70's fear of nuclear annihilation,Then the 80's Ffear of the soviet union spreading into more of Asia, So they fund the mudjahdeen.Then the 90's they became big headed, Now the 20 century, Americas fear of islam...next?? My money is some sort of fear of china

Is it really fear? ... ( 1 week ago by charlesvan13)
Is it really fear? The US and its allies have come out on top in all of those struggles.
Bush told the president of China not to link terrorism to religion--not the words of someone who wants people to fear Islam.

I love the way he trashes her before the interview. And puts disagreable words in her mouth "There's nothing wrong with cia secret prisons." He must have a dufus audience.
out of all the ... ( 1 week ago by skunkinc)
out of all the names she could've chosen to name her beloved teddy bear -why Muhammad? because she knows its disrespectful...as an agnostic or atheist i don't know which you are...theres nothing you respect because you dont really care about anything so i wouldn't expect you to understand what respect and disrespect mean. is there anyone or anything that you respect?

The name was chosen ... ( 1 week ago by reesasmith)
The name was chosen (and voted on) by her young (around 10-year-old) students. They did it because they loved the prophet. A bit of irony, there! And why is naming a teddy bear Mohammed disrepectful? It's only a name! Do you really imagine God is so sensitive? No, only Muslims who I guess are hoping to get into heaven or at least get a pat on the back. Of course I respect people & things, but I would not go to violence over it in nearly all cases.
hmm? how is naming ... ( 1 week ago by skunkinc)
hmm? how is naming a teddy bear after a leader disrespectful? again might i remind you not muslim thus how could you possibly understand. same way you would never understand how a Jewish person would react if someone showed up wearing a swastika etc your on the outside lookin in thus your opinion on the subject doesn't matter."God is so sensitive?" MUHAMMED IS NOT GOD "respect people.., but I would not go to violence over it in nearly all cases." lol "nearly all cases" potential 4 violence there
maybe she choose ... ( 1 week ago by carbonbasedboy)
maybe she choose that name because it surely is the most common name in the islamic world. In high school I knew plenty of guys with mohammed as 1st or second name or both. Remembering how vulgar they were should their parents be considered disrespectul for having named them that way?

Umm so you are basically saying economic depression never happened, 2nd world war never happened, communism never was a threat, nukes never were dangerous and Soviet Union did not collapse in the late 80s? You are beyond all saving.
Cause of death: Brain Dead
Culprit: Relativism
America allowed ... ( 1 week ago by Firestar213)
America allowed these things to happen barring communism but you cant tell me it wasn't ridicules how America was in the 50's about communism. Nukes were made and first used by Americas. Soviet union collapsed because the lack of any real planning for the economy, China did fine, as so far so have Vietnam. The 2nd world war could have had a lot less blood shed. It was only because of the Japanese the Americas joined in. You sat by while millions of people died until you were "forced" to join in.

ok Carbonboy did you go to school with teddy bears im guessing no right..anyone can name their children muhammad or whateva name they want but name a teddy bear is a whole different think see you guys just don't get it..i've seen dogs and cat named everything from moses to whateva that's your think is not ours like i said "out looking in" i don't expect you to understand either
I don't care if ... ( 6 days ago by reesasmith)
I don't care if Muslims are offended over that teddy bear; it's that so many of them rioted and threatened the woman with death that's concerning. You can be offended all you want, but the reaction of Muslims was childish. If someone made light of 9/11, I'd be annoyed, but I'd never want to kill them. I guess I'm happy then, to be free to not be offended so much, that I'd act like such a fool as those Muslim rioters did, over a teddy bear!
It's an embarrassment to your religion.
Also, sometimes ... ( 6 days ago by reesasmith)
Also, sometimes violence is necessary, of course there is potential. The fact that you pointed this out shows that you're not interested in having a real debate. You're just interested in sidetracking the issue, not sure why I've even bothered talking to you-- you seem brainwashed to me. Let me ask you, what do you think about the Muslim riots over the name of a teddy bear?!
The US aided the " ... ( 6 days ago by reesasmith)
The US aided the "allies" almost from the outset of the war. Thus, the reason for the "preemptive" strike by the Japanese in the first place.
Avi Lewis is right ... ( 6 days ago by msnyder540)
Avi Lewis is right when he says that America has a lot of problems, but I think this interview demonstrates the virtues of liberalism. A Muslim-turned-Atheist woman from Somalia and a Jewish-Canadian man speaking to each other casually, almost as friends or college students. This kind of candid conversation could never happen in other countries. Fortunately, in North America, your history and traditions are stripped away and all that matters is the merit of your ideas.

over-reaction yet understandable from my point of view...same thing i think about the LA RIOT in the early 90s overreaction yet understandable. Me Brainwashed no not yet maybe later if im lucky.. haven't been waterboarded yet :)....
No, "The US" did ... ( 4 days ago by FaithIsImaginary)
No, "The US" did not aid the allies from the outset. However, the US did have an excellent president who managed to fight through some minor aid contrary to the will of the american people.
The Japanese attack was misguided "insurance" against american meddling in the pacific and was not related to US aid to europe. Of course, in reality that plan backfired pretty badly.
Not that it matters, the US needed time to convert to a war economy and the approach used was probably for the best.

Avi Lewis is an embarrassment. Completely clueless. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a very courageous, remarkable person, and handled his idiotic comments with grace and class.

"ps. avi, stop using loading words like "controversial" when describing ali. controversial to who?"
To themselves! The whole point in the rhetoric is that liberals present their own pesonal feelings as source of facts. Thats the reason they can lie so easily. Also when they say something is controversial it means they want to MAKE it controversial by claiming it is again and again.

omg this guy is a douche. what kind of a correspondent attacks the person he's interviewing and obviously reflects his own personal views. anti-semitism? Jewish is both race and religion. why the hell would you put that on the same grounds as islam???
Is there an ... ( 1 day ago by Berdie)
Is there an anti-american leftist bullshit talking point Avi Lewis doesn't spew out, repeatedly get destroyed by the opposing debater, and then just try to move on with the next absurd attack on America? He throws a million spitballs against the chalk board and hopes one will stick. This is what counts as intellectualism on Canadian television?
