I have followed the career of Ayaan Hirsi Ali from the moment she became a household name when her friend Theo van Gogh was murdered by an Islamist for the film "Submission." She has been a fighter for human rights and a voice of warning these many years. Persons with her fortitude are needed now more than ever.

Ayaan has indeed been extremely courageous and a steady beacon standing in the way of, basically, Muslim religious tyranny. One would think the meaning and the purpose of her life, chosen by her and so clear to the rest of us in our opinion of her, is obvious.
And yet it is belied by the sentence she wrote below:
'Atheism failed to answer a simple question: What is the meaning and purpose of life?'
I think the God she seeks may already be within her.
If it is within her it is not worthy of her worship. Only a god outside of ourselves, not made up by our self is worthy of worship. Otherwise we are only worshipping ourselves and we know we are flawed.
Well said. Ppl today seem to think they create God. To that I sayтАЭgo in a restroom and take a good look in the mirror cause if you define God then the person you see in the mirror is your GodтАЭ. Oh that gets ppl mad. But itтАЩs true. If you truly want to know God then any God by definition is an entity that is specifically NOT of your own design.

May she only go from strength to strength.

So true.
