Ayaan Hirsi Ali, fellow at the Hoover Institution, best-selling author, founder of the Ayaan Hirsi Ali Foundation, and host of the Ayaan Hirsi Ali Podcast, joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss her upbringing as a Muslim in Somalia and Kenya and how her experiences with Islamic extremism ultimately led her to deconvert. Hirsi Ali explained the crucial difference between Muslims and Islamists, and reflected on the October 7th massacre and the strengthening of what she calls the "red-green alliance" to destroy the West. Hirsi Ali also discussed the alarming rise of antisemitism in the UK, where Jewish citizens increasingly face threats from violent Islamists. Ali and Benson wrapped the interview by addressing New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, arguing that the weaponization of the term "Islamophobia" has allowed his brand of radicalism to thrive.
