摘要：Societies structured on principles of
liberty and tolerance can often be
lulled into thinking that these core
attributes are secure. But those who believe
that the current threat from Islam
comes only from a fanatical fringe may
well be shocked when they read Infidel by
Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Liberty, she shows, is always
under threat.
Ali’s autobiography reads in many
parts like a thriller novel. Early scenes start
with a happy childhood under large shady
trees but soon move to her desperate flight
from war-torn carnage in the Horn of Africa
in her late teens. As an adult, we find
her being whisked from secret location to
secret location under high-level police security.
