Summary
The New York Times bestselling author of Infidel， Nomad， and Heretic argues that waves of Muslim immigration are transforming sexual politics in Europe in ways that threaten to undermine the hard-won rights of Western women。
Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been speaking against Islamic extremism for decades。 In the age of #MeToo， she asks: Why is no one talking about the explosion of sexual violence and harassment in Europe’s cities？ No one wants to admit that the problem is linked to the arrival of more than a million migrants from Muslim-majority countries。
Hirsi Ali knows the pain of sexual violence firsthand。 Growing up in Somalia and Saudi Arabia， she suffered female genital mutilation and the frustration of being treated as a second-class citizen。 When she fled to the Netherlands， she thought she had escaped to a paradise of gender equality， but now new waves of Muslim migration imperil women’s freedom。
In Prey， Hirsi Ali explains the systemic causes of sexual violence in the Muslim world， from the barring of women from public life to the lack of legal and cultural bulwarks against sexual abuse。 She also brings up uncomfortable questions for the West。 Why， she asks， have the European authorities and media sought to hush up the wave of violence against women？ Why do Western feminists prefer to complain about glass ceilings in the workplace when women are facing severe threats to their most basic rights？
A refugee herself， Hirsi Ali is not against immigration。 She wants Europeans to reform their broken system—and for Americans to learn from European mistakes。 Immigration implies integration and assimilation。 If that is not made clear， the call to exclude new Muslim migrants from Western countries will only grow louder。
For two decades， Hirsi Ali has faced death threats and harassment for daring to speak her mind。 But she refuses to be silenced。 In Prey， she argues passionately against allowing the clock of women’s right to be turned back。

A little heavy on statistics but a shocking view at things that are happening around the world to erode the progress that we have made in women’s rights。

Are the rights of immigrants any more important than the rights of women？ So far， politicians， media， and other typical left-wing suspects in Europe and elsewhere have answered yes。 And the consequences have been swift and broad-reaching， continuing to snowball in recent years following German Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to essentially open the floodgates to open borders for migrants following the Syria crisis of 2015。 This and other similar shortsighted policies have contributed to the Are the rights of immigrants any more important than the rights of women？ So far， politicians， media， and other typical left-wing suspects in Europe and elsewhere have answered yes。 And the consequences have been swift and broad-reaching， continuing to snowball in recent years following German Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to essentially open the floodgates to open borders for migrants following the Syria crisis of 2015。 This and other similar shortsighted policies have contributed to the increase in sexual violence against women and others throughout western Europe。Ayaan Hirsi Ali is herself an immigrant， twice， and knows of what she speaks。 She originally fled an arranged marriage in Somalia and sought asylum in Holland where within a short period she rose from refugee to Dutch translator， to PhD and member of parliament。 However， her outspokenness about the challenges of radical Islam threatened her safety in one of the most tolerant democracies in the world。 Thus she fled again， this time to the United States。The focus of this book is the failure of western governments in Europe in particular to assimilate migrants to secular societies that clash with the values of immigrants who have primarily come from conservative Islamic countries of south Asia and north Africa。 Instead， migrants cluster in communities where they speak their own languages， maintain their own cultures， and in some instances import sharia law。 Even Merkel admits to areas of Germany where no one dares go。One of the main issues is women now being forced to withdraw from public life， cover up in modest clothing， and avoid areas that have become men-only such as cafes， parks， and streets in certain neighborhood in Molenbeek （Brussels， Belgium）， Rinkeby （Stockholm， Sweden） and beyond。 The author frets that this is not only a step backwards， but that it will only continue as the demographics of Europe are rapidly shifting with increasing numbers of Muslim migrants who are not assimilating。Of course the typical suspects （see above） make or are afraid of accusations of racism at even mentioning the problem， let alone addressing it。 But Ali spends the first several chapters setting forth facts and data as well as personal stories to demonstrate that the problem is real， and that sexual assault and violence against women is going unpunished。 She then provides prescriptions including sex education， modifying the asylum rules which are outdated from the Geneva Convention in the 1950s designed for an altogether different set of circumstances （e。g。， Jews immigrating to the U。S。 and elsewhere）， and modulating the incentives such as welfare that draw refugees to begin with。This is an important book with far-reaching implications that should not be ignored。 Hopefully policy makers are taking note and will get serious about protecting all women and preserving western values that have brought more freedom than at any time in history before it is too late。 。。。more

Un libro muy valiente escrito por una gran luchadora que necesita guardaespaldas para poder andar libremente por Europa。 Huyó de Africa para tener libertad y ahora comprueba horrorizada como Occidente sin prisa pero sin pausa está dando pasos hacia la oscuridad aceptando constumbres medievales y dando gasolina a los populistas。 Los primeros capítulos son bastante pesados con muchos números y datos， pasando eso el libro es una crítica constructiva aunque muchos tildaran de racista。

In this day and age of cancel culture and illiberal techniques to spread "liberal" ideas， one must tread lightly when addressing the topics raised in this book。 It takes a prodigious amount of courage to write a book on this topic when you have a fatwa calling for your death。 I felt a wide range of emotions while reading this; I oscillated between anger， fear， disgust， and sadness。 Ultimately， Ali's commitment to speaking up about cold， hard facts gave me hope。 My respect and admiration for her In this day and age of cancel culture and illiberal techniques to spread "liberal" ideas， one must tread lightly when addressing the topics raised in this book。 It takes a prodigious amount of courage to write a book on this topic when you have a fatwa calling for your death。 I felt a wide range of emotions while reading this; I oscillated between anger， fear， disgust， and sadness。 Ultimately， Ali's commitment to speaking up about cold， hard facts gave me hope。 My respect and admiration for her are tremendous。 。。。more

I felt this is a very important topic and the author demonstrated her thoroughness in research to write this book。 I learned a lot reading this book but does contain a lot of data backing up points which might be too much for some readers trying to get educated。

This was a very difficult book to read as Hirsi Ali doesn't pull punches and graphically describes dozens and dozens of awful crimes perpetrated against women and children in Europe over the past few decades at the hands of a segment of Muslim men， and the perfect storm of governmental and social policies that have allowed the situation to fester and escalate。 Still， this is a very academic text that presents well-researched data rather loose anecdotes and sensationalism to back Hirsi Ali's cent This was a very difficult book to read as Hirsi Ali doesn't pull punches and graphically describes dozens and dozens of awful crimes perpetrated against women and children in Europe over the past few decades at the hands of a segment of Muslim men， and the perfect storm of governmental and social policies that have allowed the situation to fester and escalate。 Still， this is a very academic text that presents well-researched data rather loose anecdotes and sensationalism to back Hirsi Ali's central theses。 。。。more

3。5 starsOne doesn't have to agree with all of Ayaan Hirsi Ali's conclusions to acknowledge that this book represents a very important contribution to discussions around immigration， women's rights， and rising rates of sexual violence committed against women in the West。 Not only is Hirsi Ali's argument very nuanced and sensible， she is also far more charitable and gracious toward migrants and asylum-seekers from Muslim-majority countries than her critics would suggest。 Being interested in this 3。5 starsOne doesn't have to agree with all of Ayaan Hirsi Ali's conclusions to acknowledge that this book represents a very important contribution to discussions around immigration， women's rights， and rising rates of sexual violence committed against women in the West。 Not only is Hirsi Ali's argument very nuanced and sensible， she is also far more charitable and gracious toward migrants and asylum-seekers from Muslim-majority countries than her critics would suggest。 Being interested in this book and seeking answers to the kinds of questions it raises should not automatically earn one the label of "alt-right xenophobe。" Similarly， it is maddeningly hypocritical when Western feminists who claim to honour "the voices and lived experiences" of women of color， refuse to engage seriously with someone like Hirsi Ali （whose own "lived experience" is very relevant to this discussion） simply because her claims are unfashionable among liberal elites。 It seems that many people in the West， not just with this issue but others as well， are happy to turn a blind eye to violence， as long as 1） they can continue to avoid being called a "racist" and 2） that violence isn't hitting too close to home。 This is a disturbing trend， and I'm thankful for people like Hirsi Ali who have the courage to raise unpopular arguments for the benefit of women's safety in the West， not just native born European women， but Muslim migrant women as well。 。。。more
