On the Equality of Cultures
“A culture that celebrates femininity is not equal to a culture that trims the genitals of her girls. A culture that holds the door open to her women is not equal to one that confines them behind walls and veils. . . . A culture that encourages dating between young men and young women is not equal to a culture that flogs or stones a girl for falling in love. A culture where monogamy is an aspiration is not equal to a culture where a man can lawfully have four wives all at once.”
Ayaan Hirsi Ali
and:
“Life is better in the West because human relations are better.”
Ayaan Hirsi Ali
