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 ❤❤

[scubacop]

I named my daughter after Ayaan. She’s inspiring.

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.
