Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Prey: A Panel Discussion on Europe, Islam, and Women’s Rights
Recorded on June 11, 2021
Prey: Immigration, Islam, and the Erosion of Women’s Rights, Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s book on the explosion of sexual violence and harassment in Europe, was published in early 2021. Since then, the book has sparked a worldwide discussion online and offline about the immigration of huge numbers of mostly young Muslim men (more than 3 million, by some reports) to European cities and its effect on the women who live there. To discuss this phenomenon, explain why many of these young men feel empowered to harass women, and offer some possible solutions, Peter Robinson is joined by Prey author and Hoover Institution research fellow Ayaan Hirsi Ali; Valerie Hudson, a professor of political science at the Bush School at Texas A&M University and an expert on women’s rights and demographics; and Christopher Caldwell, a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute and the author of Reflections on the Revolution in Europe: Immigration, Islam, and the West, published in 2009, and The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties, published just last year.

Being an English female European, I can assure you all that the majority of us fear for the future of our countries, our cultures, and our European lineage.
Ayaan should run for an office. America needs her.

No chance. She’s a classical liberal, but the Dems wouldn’t want her. The GOP? They’re run by the Evangelicals, and she’s a vocal atheist.

We could use her as prime minister in Britain
As Thomas Sowell says, ". ..what justifies diversity? Nothing but unsupported assertions, repeated endlessly, piously and loudly."
As a Dane why should I let a foreign people erode my society? Why should I care about an inferior culture, I will not shun the obvious, Islamic culture is the antithesis of freedom and dignity.
There is an inordinate amount of dancing around going on in this discussion. The crux of the matter, the necessary solution, whether KZread allows it to be written in a comment or not, has not even been discussed in any depth in this video.
Ayaan is once again making sense in the face of those who deny, derail, or deflect the truth.
Ayaan absolutely deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for her scholarly contributions, bravery and honesty.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a world hero. Not just a national hero. From Africa to Europe to North America, her confidence, knowledge and courage have inspired countless people who face these issues.
Brilliant show, thank you. Listening to your panel proves, as always, how Western people simply can't express the truth like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who has lived the life and totally understands what she's talking about. I respect and love Ayaan for her bravery and truthfulness. An amazing woman and a true world treasure
Good to see that Ayaan’s still out there. She’s one of the very few to recognize that Islam is a religion, a culture, and a political philosophy with totalitarian implications, all at once. Since we in the West have long separated these things, we’re nearly incapable of grasping what Islam is.
Ayaan should be credited for her bravery in tackling this politically difficult, yet very real subject / phenomenon. The careful analysis, personal insight and significant consultation she has undertaken, reveal a truth that cant be ignored. God bless Ayaan and her family.

Amen to that.
Ayaan didn’t speak enough. She was clearly the guru on the panel.

I have seen her in many interviews and it is always the same. Everyone else talks while she refrains but when she does talk, she carries a real whallop!

It was funny listening to everyone try and display her position as if she was there to simply be asked.

I agree. Luckily she has been widely interviewed by many prominent people since her book was published. For example, Triggernometry, JBPeterson, Douglas Murray etc.
I am always educated and enlightened by anything Ayaan says or writes. She has great credibility grounded in her personal history but that credibility is magnified greatly by her serious scholarship and communication skills. Prey--well done!

I will add that I attended Utah State University in the 70s when the USA extended refuge to Iranian citizens suffering during their country's revolution. This was a huge cultural eye-opening experience for me. I experienced first hand the lewed, disrepectful attitudes and behaviors of Islamic men. It was appalling. Their behavior did not demean Me, I spoke volumes about who these men were.
She smarter than AOC, Pelosi, Omar & Harris put together. Not to mention more brave!
I wonder if they'll talk about the complicity of EU governments and NGOs in covering up and excusing all the problems they bring as well.
Thank goodness for these conversations by people well qualified to lead discussions.Ayaan expresses the brewing resentments through out Europe in many sections of the French,English,Swedish,Finnish and German populations caused by immigration policies and their social and political effects.Thank you for your knowledge and observations.
Ms. Alli's is perfectly right in all she is saying. The problem with this conversation is that caucasian self imposed guilt is at play here, liberal Caucasians feel they have to give leeway to especially those of African and Muslim extract, in order to not appear racist or biased in dealing with racial, religious and cultural differences.
I misinterpreted the title of this video. I'm glad I clicked anyway. Ayaan is my HERO! I love watching/hearing her. She is so smart, so cute, and (more importantly) so STEELY!
This is not a masculine issue. Do your research! It is a moral issue!
Ayaan is a hero. Love from UK.
Oh the questions we are forbidden to raise. How satisfying it is that you ask intelligently questions about real injustice. Keep up the good work, Ali. We are listening.
I am thankful for my Polish family, my dad specifically and them not buckling to be shamed.
The only one who gets this topic right is Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the other two just soft-pedal having no gut's

Ayern is correct
Hello to my Somali sister! Thanks for all you do. Big fan😄🙏 love from Canada 🇨🇦. Happy Canada Day to all the Canadian fans.
Ali is a hero.
I had read this book in the last days here in Germany, which is translated into German. It is well-based for discussions about islam. Thank you for this book.
The right choice is to treat women with dignity, the wrong choice is not to.
You did good in the Netherlands Ayaan!👌 i live in Twente and we didn't forget you.. spread the truth girl❤
Enoch Powell was right, he warned us
read the Great Death of Europe/ Douglas Murray
Next women will be told they were asking for it. We are regressing under "progressive" policies.
Way to go Ayaan! I love how she nails the blonde woman and confidently corrects her every step of the way! I get so sick and tired of the far left’s attitude of pulling the wool over their eyes in regards to Islam.
The only thing Ali got wrong is that it’s a failure of leadership. It’s not a failure it’s on purpose.
Fun to see these people dance around the obvious. It's a real shame, we had a nice planet for a while there.
I am from Germany. Here can’t you speak this often without being accused a racist or nationalist. Thanks for the great discussion.
A man who came from Egypt, a big strong man, told me when first came to the US, he cried himself to sleep every night because of the lack of social strictures,
Great commentary. Very educational and necessary conversation. Should be broadcast on every major network.
Hello from Europe, AYAAN!
An interesting assembly of people and opinions. However, not a very new take on things. We have heard it before that everything is worst for women and the fact that none is taking up or discussing the effects of massmigration of foreign males into Europe for the native men and boys is just staggering.
Protect woman at all cost
That was one of the most unsettling conversations I've heard for a very long time!
Why do women depend on men to protect themselves from other men? Are European men no longer willing or able to defend their women? If men aren't willing to defend women and women aren't able to defend themselves, then what, open season on women? Has the Cologne incident been repeated? Is it a weekly event?
Remember, in Islam men are allowed up to four wives. Polygamist cultures have much more violence than monogamous society.
Two words: cultural relativism.
Great episode! Love this channel.
Borders, language, culture, race, religion. These defined a nation -- not a piece of paper.
Excellent podcast. Thank you!
Ask Thomas Sowell for the answer...
Ayaan is wonderful 🌈
By the way, Africa is like the Garden of Eden for its ability to support agriculture. Sub-Saharan Africa has abundant water resources, large areas of useful land for agriculture, and mostly untapped resources. So they could absolutely feed and support themselves at least as well as the Europeans or Americans do for themselves. The frequent food crises in Africa have more to do with social issues than environmental or geographical ones.
‘I became familiar with the tactics of denial and evasion.’ -yes.
Few powerful People admitted the difficultie to integrate a culture and indeed a civilisation which refuses to be assimilated as just a folklore... Instead to think about they prefered to name this fact as racist...we are in the zero degree of thinking...
That Lara Logan story is rough and unsettling. I will never feel the same about things. Caveat.
Caldwell is a complete joke.

To be fair, he lacks intersectional oppression characteristics necessary to shield him from the cancellation/depersoning he desperately tries to avoid. One wrong word and he'll never publish in The Wall Street Journal ever again.
Read Kuran in any language & know the root of the problem. Just give it a try & decide yourself.
I live in the UK and Musilm are more free than any country in the world UK do a lot effort to help Muslim I am sure no Muslim in the UK can't say he is discriminate
Great to see Peter again. Always a great interview!
Why should countries take people in who have different values.
What really outrages me is women like Ayan came to Europe for basic human rights. The EU has failed them the most.
This was a great conversation. I will check out her book!
Ayaan is a hero!! I wish you would move to the UK we need you here. The grooming gangs preying on working class children are horrific and no one says anything about them is totally bewildering.
If I were Ayaan... Body guards!
Fantastic discussion my two cents is Europe needs to as a collective group take charge of its borders close up its borders they take two is coming in and mandate that they adhere to the principles of the Nations that they are coming into Without doing this Europe will be dominated by Islam no ifs ands or buts just a matter of time.
9:45 Yes it is!! I am an eye witness!
Straight out the box... Not a mention of the real cause!!! Tempted not to listen more, but will persist to see if there is more realistic opinions.
Thanks for another thoughtful program of discussion. Can any of you help me to find a news program from long ago about bands of the Taliban riding about in white trucks, targeting girls and young women going to school and if they found any with nail polish on their toes, cutting the achilles tendon? It was on NPR years ago when we invaded Afghanistan. I shared this in my high school classroom decades ago and got called on the carpet and told I cannot say such thing in an American classroom. No current events allowed.
Ayaan is the ONLY guest that makes ANY sense at all!!!
That blonde doesn't want to accept the obvious
How could not talk about the UK - Grooming gangs that just ignored for 30-40 years. Sharia rules many ares and crime like Brits have never had to deal with. Couple years ago violence past NYC. dramatic change Britain and France that I have witnessed and it’s been depressing.
Thoughtful discussion. Thankyou.
Interesting! So many topics yet all intermingle !
Telling women to avoid problematic spaces! I believe the great majority have learned that around the age of 12. But it is very sad that the park or the sidewalk has become one of those places. As a wite male.. Very strong... There are places that I avoid... A certain train station in Rome... Just sayin
Could you dwell also on the grooming gangs in the UK hundreds of them.
I’m going share this ….
Very informative.
Word.
Alarming, unsurprising, and particularly unfortunate considering partisan divisions between off-putting vicious xenophobes versus lily-livered obeisance to virtue-signaling whiners. In other words, polarized social movements leave no middle ground for pragmatic legislators.
All the societies cited: India, China and Muslim countries consider women as second class citizens - if it admits to them being human at all. That is the key.
Europe needs a 2A.
Thank you.
The problem started after the European invasion in 2014.
nihilism begets nihilism.
So good
VERY enlightening!
“Clear” meaning what exactly and by who’s definition? Silly I have to ask that.
Love this! Thank you, Hoover!
I'm appalled at excuses made for cultural behavior.
How is the culture of modesty an issue? Rape is about violence not immodesty. People should be modest, but they should also not be violent and perverse!
Islam is to the west what the Serpent is to the Garden Eden.
an hour of discussion and not once are numbers brought up, where's the data?
Unfortunately ingrained cultural norms that have taken years and generations to develop can not be changed in a few generations.
As politically correct as talking about Christopher one cannot listen to it as a woman he should be ashamed .Listen to what Ayaan is saying and don't try to exclude everything that men do .
A sensible policy might involves the Western Nations leaving those Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African nations alone without any military interventions such as regime change wars. So you won't get any immigration or refugees from those places.
Ayaan it's here it's ther t is everywhere
The author is wise.
We could all just come to terms that some people don’t mix well and those migrants should take responsibility to changing their home country mess before assuming we need them in the west
China's mass abortion of girls (1 child policy) is just as contemptuous tword women as Islamic gender segregation, if not more so. IMO. Good discussion.
It's called hate and got nothing to do with the everloving god that we most like to beleive in
👍👍
The book might be titled Prey, but we in the West know that the honest conversation on Islamic immigration is already the victim.
