@@khaleedadams3579 It’s pretty scary as a Somali person. Especially when girls are now forced to be more restricted and covered than their grandmothers. Even the Somali cultural displays in places like the US get more and conservative every year. It’s like they’re trying to re-write our history now.
I agree ! She is one of the most courageous, unselfish and bravest person in these times of despair !!!!
"I have to live with the fact that there are people out there who would regard killing MY WIFE as a holy act" - Niall
Well said niall. I'm Scottish and my family fought too. I agree with everything you say. I'm a woman and ayaan is a hero imo, we ALL need to stand up and get these freaks out. 😠
I’m naming my daughter Ayaan. What a privilege it is to be from the same country. Ayaan has made life so much better for millions of people and billions of generations to come. What a lucky man Nial Ferguson is ❤❤
Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been attacked by trans activists in the UK for speaking about FGM - speaking about women having their female genitals mutilated in the name of religion is apparently a sign of her "cis privilege" and offensive and triggering for trans women. All power to her.
I named my daughter after Ayaan. She’s inspiring.

Great man by sounds of things... So pleased to hear she has met her match, not just in courage but in character... Living their lives as they choose to do so... Wishing them all that's good and safe journeys...
Such bravery in the face of a faceless persistent threat…God bless you both.
So sad for this woman, it warms me to know she has a man like Niall to wrap her in love and protection.
Wonderful interview Megyn, well done
Ayaan has ALWAYS been my number one HERA!. She and Valerie Hudson had.a wonderful conversation about the "Liberal" SOP of throwing ALL women under the bus...including Mama... Keep up the great work Megyn!!!
Thank you for discussing depth of harm and repercussions from psychological torture.. As w Assange
Amazing they found each other…
Love Niall and Ayaan. Fab couple, real, intellectuals.
What a gorgeous couple 💕
She is a hero of mine.
I take inspiration from their battle!
Ayaan is such a brave lady. She has done so much to try and improve the lives of women and girls around the world.
Ayaan is a hero imo. Beautiful, intelligent and courageous. 👏👏👏👏
these brave people keep this world alive!!
Great interview from MK
Can you imagine how the Israelis must feel on a daily basis. Not taking a single thing away from the issues affecting AHA.
Interesting interview.
Praying for you all, from Glasgow, Scotland. Scotland the brave.
Such an important video clip.
It’s so interesting to hear these stories. Which, happen in a somewhat lesser degree to many people. Having been raised in a religious cult and having left it, Ive never heard the end from them.
The Whole World Love Ayaan Hirsi Ali Ferguson..GOD bless You Ayaan and Your Whole Family..
🙏💯
Then imagine facing threats and having those nearest around you fall for the manipulation and also turn against you? Further imagine that you also don't have resources to adequately fight back or protect yourself and that there is no real HIDING? This guy should get used to it.
Where is the feminist support?

👋😁
I notice he skilfully moved the conversation away from discussing the fact that he had an affair for years with Ayaan while he was married with 3 children. Humiliating his wife and children in the process.

well it's true
I admire her intellect, however I have disdain for women who go after married men. He's been known as a womanizer and adulterer for many years. Why do we continue to make icons out of these people who lack morals and decency. Three children were victims of Ferguson's and Ali's adulterous affair. If we must make idols of people, let's at least find ones who live virtuous lives.
Courage of his wife? Maybe we should talk about the courage of Sue Douglas (Niall Ferguson's ex-wife) who had to go through the insult and disrespect of having her husband openly sleeping with another woman while married. Ayaan was his mistress for a long time before he divorced Sue and left her and their 3 children. Viva la Sue Douglas.

Rather uncouth of Megyn to bring up her genital mutilation with Niall. Ayaan wrote about it in her book "Infidel" and she was just a child when it happened. I think it was too personal to talk about in an interview with her husband. It's nothing for Ayaan to be ashamed of but it just would have been better to talk about how it still happens to young girls in that part of the world.

@@dennysmith7862 I do agree with you but I wish Megyn had talked about it in that context of how it still happens to young girls in some countries.
she is brave but uneducated and naive. Ferguson is an apologist for The British Empire. Love her bravery but she should get an education. There is a world beyond Europe,. Why would Ali not gravitate towards African Spirituality? Simple, she does not think much of nonwhite contributions. Ferguson is a confirmation bias person and praises JS Mill who was the father of liberalism and supported the murder of thousands of Indians. Ms.Ali, you have gone through a lot and please be careful against the Islamic terrorists, and I wish you a great life. Despite her alliance with the reactionary forces, I will always appreciate your bravery. By the way, Megyn you could interview Nupur Sharma, but she is a Hindu, why would you be interested?

The British Empire was an enlightening force for billions of people around the world. Without the British Empire, China is still a medieval country where women's feet are bound and have no property rights. Your history is taught by liars, like most people in the world.
There is no Fatwa issued by the Muslim Brotherhood.They have never issued any Fatwa.Its not there job to issue Fatwas. Even making lies needs intelligence. Any muslims wanting to harm the lady is ignorant.Muslims are supposed to obey the law of the land.If not agreeable you can leave the country and go live in majority muslim country.

He is speaking about him winning the war, not them. Poor Ayaan, this man should naturally have said that "she is winning the war" or at least that "we are winning the war". Instead HE is winning the war. Red flag.

What about working on knowing your stuff and doing your homework before talking like you have? Islam has nothing to do with FGM, NOTHING! Stop confusing culture and religion. It is in her somali culture. Go fight that battle and do your research.

FYI increasing due dur to the highest birthrate also has the highest rate of apostasy among all religion (currently estimated 25% ). Breeding like rabbits and producing a mass of undereducated or poorly educated people is not a bragging point. You see the results just by looking at every single Muslim country of the world, yes that includes oil rich countries as well who lag severely behind the advanced nations in terms of HDI
