Sinossi
"È mia intenzione mettere a disagio molte persone: non solo i musulmani, ma anche i difensori occidentali dell'Islam. Non lo farò disegnando vignette, voglio invece sfidare secoli di ortodossia religiosa con idee e argomenti che, sono certa, saranno definiti eretici: l'Islam non è una religione di pace." Impegnata da sempre nella difesa dei diritti umani, con opinioni radicali che le sono già valse una fatwa, Ayaan Hirsi Ali è una delle voci più potenti e controverse del mondo islamico. Attraverso la sua drammatica esperienza, tessendo insieme analogie storiche ed esempi illuminanti della società musulmana contemporanea, intende demolire i luoghi comuni sull'Islam - quelli che ci impediscono di riconoscere che la violenza, e la sua giustificazione, sono esplicitamente presenti nei suoi testi sacri. Solo guardandolo per quello che è potremo risolvere il problema sempre più pressante e globale della violenza politica perpetrata in nome della fede. L'Occidente ha le sue responsabilità: non può avere paura di apparire intollerante e abdicare al pensiero critico. L'Islam ha bisogno di una riforma che ne sovverta i principi, anche religiosi, una riforma pacifica contro le stragi di Is e Boko Haram.

Recensioni
With a love of both journalism and academia, I have very strong respect for the institution of the dissemination of information to the public. As such, I take works that seek to contribute to public discourse fairly seriously. The more serious the topic and the more encompassing the point being posi Leggi tutto
Best to start with "Infidel" as Ali's backstory is incredible, and solidifies her quest for reformation. The subject of Islam is one I thought I knew at least a little about. Now I feel I have the whole picture. I can't say enough good things about this book, and highly recommend! Full review to fol Leggi tutto
Heretic is my first book by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, but I am curious to read Infidel now. I can see this book and her ideas causing uproar among some people, but I found them to be compelling and the book worth reading. She writes of terrible personal experiences, but also illustrates the resilience of the Leggi tutto
Heretic: Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now is the first book I have read by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. I did a little background research and I believe this brave woman is an important voice in world affairs. The tone of the book is calm and factual, yet urgent and unflinching in the face of unpleasant truth. Leggi tutto
A review of Heretic is unavoidably political. Readers who think Ali should not be allowed to speak or write will not approve of this review. If so, stop reading here. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is courageous. She is a global thought leader, on par with Martin Luther, whom she cites, or Abraham Lincoln, or Marti Leggi tutto
I thought this was excellent. Using a distinctly different tone to her earlier works and public appearances, Ali makes a point of being balanced and level, supporting her arguments with thorough research and evidence. 'Heretic' is articulate, rational and refreshing to read. Her aim is not to insult Leggi tutto
In The End of Faith , Sam Harris looked at the 9/11 terrorists who said they wanted to achieve paradise by killing themselves in the name of Islam, and advanced the crazy idea that maybe we should seriously consider the idea that maybe they actually believed what they said, and killed themselves to g Leggi tutto
I think this is the most important non-fiction book I've read in a long time, and it's especially relevant considering recent religion-inspired violence. I am a liberal but Ayaan Hirsi Ali makes a convincing argument about how liberalism and political correctness have made us reluctant to engage dir Leggi tutto
