message: It's a photo with no significance to her biography or career and seems strange.

message: Re: . The text already says that the SPLC removed the list. So half this sentence is redundant. The other half is about the apology to Nawaz. So since this article is about Hirsi Ali, not Nawaz, it's off topic.Volunteer Marek (talk) 21:57, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

message: I read the entire essay, but it isn't really clear if she is more than a "cultural Christian", and that's what I took away from it.  For what it is worth, Dawkins also describes himself as a cultural Christian.  I also think that was the primary thesis of her essay, that the reformation of Christianity allowed for secularism and atheism to co-exist without the call to destroy them found in political Islam today.  Obviously, she goes one step beyond this simple argument by asserting that the story itself (the whole shebang, ball of wax, enchilada, or megillah) is the driving force for the values of progressivism and modernity.  It's an interesting idea, and it's one I've been investigating for a long time, but there's a lot of counterarguments that she should have been aware of or at least addressed, but chose to ignore.  I would like to see more critical discussion about it in the article.  Her position sounds a lot like the philosophy of Leo Strauss who believed in the primacy and importance of a noble lie (or story) to drive civilization.  My guess is that this essay places her in the neoconservative camp, along with the rest of the so-called "liberals" on the right. Viriditas (talk)
: Outside of listing her as a Christian in the article, this would predominately fall into original research territory, which is something that Wikipedians can't do on their own.

replies: text: Either way, the section on her conversion to Christianity is way to long given her long public life and smacks of WP:RECENTism. I believe we should give a one or two sentence summary. The reader can read the whole article if they want details. Ashmoo (talk) 14:59, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree: it's one small paragraph, which is fine. If there's more material out there, it would be excellent to see it included.MatthewDalhousie (talk) 06:02, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

message: Why is there nothing in her wiki article about her conversion to Chistianity at all, let alone theresulting controversy particularly from atheists?  Implicit leftist, anti Christian bias? 192.105.186.212 (talk) 22:50, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
