Ayaan Hirsi Ali – Activist finds silence on genital mutilation case depressing, predictable – Chicago Tribune

Where is the outrage over a Michigan physician charged in a federal indictment with conspiring to perform female genital mutilation on young girls?

Ms Ali goes on to say…

“It’s all so very sad and depressing. I find this silence extremely painful,” renowned feminist and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali told me in an interview. “It’s been inculcated into them (the left) not to engage.

“The left can easily and comfortably condemn the misogyny of white men, but not of men of color, not of Muslims,” Hirsi Ali said. “They are afraid of being shunned. They’re afraid of being put into a basket of deplorables. So they’re silent.

“And what are they being silent about? They are being silent about the mutilation of young girls.”

I wish I could say “knock me over with a feather,” but I have to say I’m shocked by the silence.
