CAIR is Calling on their Members to Condemn Faculty at Brandeis University for Recognize Ayaan Hirsi Ali With an Award
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is calling on their members to condemn the faculty at Brandeis University for choosing to recognize Ayaan Hirsi Ali with an award
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is calling on their members to condemn the faculty at Brandeis University for choosing to recognize Ayaan Hirsi Ali with an award for defending Muslim women against Islamist honor violence. Their call to action email on this issue is posted at the bottom.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is the Executive Producer of Honor Diaries and founder of the AHA Foundation. Honor Diaries is the first film to break the silence on honor violence. In response to ongoing abuses of women’s rights, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and her supporters established the AHA Foundation in 2007 to help protect and defend the rights of women in the West from oppression justified by religion and culture.

Brandeis University wrote regarding their decision to award Ayaan Hirsi Ali: "Somali-born scholar and women’s rights activistAyaan Hirsi Ali escaped an arranged marriage, receiving asylum in the Netherlands where she worked in factories and as a maid before earning her undergraduate and MA degrees in political science at Leiden University.
Having received citizenship, she served as an elected member of the Dutch parliament from 2003-2006, where she focused on furthering the integration of non-Western immigrants into Dutch society and on defending the rights of Muslim women. She campaigned to raise awareness of violence against women, including honor killings and female genital mutilation.
In 2004 she gained international attention following the murder of director Theo van Gough, who worked with Ms. Hirsi Ali on her short film "Submission," about the oppression of women under Islam. The assassin left a death threat for her pinned to van Gogh’s chest. In 2006 she resigned from Parliament when the then Dutch minister for Immigration revoked her Dutch citizenship, a decision that was overturned by the courts and ultimately led to the fall of the government.
Ms. Hirsi Ali is currently a Fellow with the Future of Diplomacy Project at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and the Harvard Kennedy School and a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute."
CAIR issued the following statement that Megyn Kelly of Fox News aired on March 31, 2014: "American Muslims join people of conscience of all faiths in condemning female genital mutilation, forced marriages, ‘honor killings,’ and any other form of domestic violence or gender inequality as violations of Islamic beliefs. If anyone mistreats women, they should not seek refuge in Islam. The real concern in this case is that the producers of the film, who have a track record of promoting anti-Muslim bigotry, are hijacking a legitimate issue to push their hate-filled agenda."

How can CAIR honestly be concerned about the victims of honor abuse perpetuated by Islamism when they are vigilantly trying to muzzle those who dare speak out against it? Ironically, CAIR’s email (below) instructs their members to “Send polite comments” to the Brandeis University faculty while in the same breath CAIR intends to degrade Ayaan Hirsi Ali by calling her an Islamophobe.
CAIR has vigorously opposed laws in America that would forbid courts from considering Islamic Sharia law. CAIR leaders have repeatedly defended well documented terrorist supporters. Now CAIR is opposing brave women who speak out for other women that are abused and killed during Islamic honor rituals.
Let’s not allow CAIR’s Islamist position to be the only one heard by the faculty at Brandeis University. Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to counter CAIR’s censure message that is going to Brandies University faculty.
