Another insightfully-written, clear-headed, crisp and factual investigative read. I love your pieces, Ayaan. We are certainly at a cross-roads in history.
We in the US were fortunate in that we were somehow able to vote for Trump. Denying reality is what elected Trump. Perhaps our Euro friends can outlaw the Trumps over there, but that will lead to much worse as you indicate. In our country, Trump has generally been restrained by courts and he has pretty much accepted the restraint. For the Trump haters in the USA, he will be gone in less than 4 years. But hopefully he created a movement that will pick up those 80-20 cards face up on the table and play them. Trump showed us that they can be played. He nearly paid a dear price for picking them up. But the 2nd person playing those cards hopefully won't be at as much risk.
If you don't let the Trumps happen through the normal process, the abnormal process will not be as restrained. I saw a graphic the other day of the worlds recorded military battles. Red dots on a globe. Europe was ON FIRE. You folks need to learn something.
An excellent summation, Ayaan. If you told me Germany society would evolve the way it has 20 years ago, I would never have believed you. It's shocking to see a great country self-destruct this way, and it's certainly a cautionary tale about how well-meaning but untethered political correctness can cascade into chaos.
As Ayaan and Orenv nearby point out, at some point there's going to be a backlash. You cannot tell 20-25% of Germans that voted for AfD that their vote and voice is null and void. This won't end well, and it could well engulf much of Europe. It's a civilizational own-goal.
This is a very clear statement of what is going to happen in Germany (and other European countries). Every word is essential. Thank you, Aayan Hirsi Ali!
No one...and i mean NO ONE puts pen to paper as you do on these matters. No one. Brilliantly written.
Im afraid the ugly is headed our way like a run away train. The fact that the perpetrator orchestrated his own trial parameters is a glaring tell on how amused they are.

But what about “wir schaffen das” that Angela M. promised? Seems like Germany will have to learn the hard way, again.
Horrors of Islam and the danger of cultural relativism.
