Ayaan Hirsi Ali pulled no punches when relating her compelling story of growing up under oppressive Islam in Somalia, Kenya, and Saudi Arabia. When she was promised to a distant Muslim cousin in Canada and instead escaped to the Netherlands, I felt as relieved as if I had been the one staring down a life of faith-based oppression. This book made me outraged on behalf of Muslim women everywhere and took my intolerance of religious fundamentalism to new heights.
