Prey by Ayaan Hirsi AliPrey by Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a very interesting book。 I hope that most of what she says, is an exaggeration。 But, it could all be true。 I highly recommend this book。

The content is rich with statistics and a thorough analysis of the data that gives a tough, but fair reality。 Hirsi Ali’s delivery, while authoritative and clearly knowledgeable, was the only weak point for me, but I think another reader would do this content a disservice。 Chock this up to personal preference。 It’s easily a 4/5 for me, though the content is definitely triggering for some and Hirsi Ali’s reading may be difficult for some to follow。

Timely subject and well covered by AHA。 However one star lost for two reasons: a blatant mistake in a table 15 page 252 on the Belgium number and a what seems rushed last chapter with conclusions。 I would have hoped see would have given more details on the solutions and policies that she is proposing。

The problem I see here in America, which the author describes as happening in Europe as well, is that politically correct speech has been chosen over truth。 The author is wary of conservatives as being the alt-right, but many of us who know ourselves to be liberals have moved to the conservative side of main-stream America because we cannot get truth from our MSM。 We are nowhere near alt-right, and most conservatives aren't, but the left has co-opted the term "liberal", and the MSM is more left oriented, especially the opinions, than actually liberal。 The author is correct in that migrants being granted asylum need to demonstrate that they are willing to follow our laws, and that the courts need to stop making excuses for them not doing so。 Conservatives are addressing the issues mentioned in this book, but they are discredited right away by "liberals" simply because they are conservatives and called "racist" and "xenophobic"。 Until conversation becomes open again between the right and the left none of these problems will be corrected。 。。。more

Goed boek weer van Ayaan Hirsi Ali over vrouwenrechten die onder druk komen te staan door de toenemende invloed van de islam in Europa。Komt wat traag op stoom door veel droge onderzoeken en zeer concrete casussen, maar tweede deel maakt alles goed。

A difficult but fascinating read。 Worth the time, as in the United States we are seeing more and more immigration from a variety of countries。 I admire the honesty in the book, and the insight into the Muslim culture。

This was a very eye opening book though a lot of it was stat heavy with limited interpretation。 As a populist I found her reasoning very anti-populist in nature but it was well written and a recommend form me。

Godsdienst afschaffen? Dat kan niet volgens de grondwet。 Maar in onze grondwet staat ook dat iedereen gelijk is。 Man en vrouw。 Kun je daarop handhaven? Ayaan geeft verschillende oplossingen in haar boek。 Volgens haar moeten beleidsmakers luisteren naar de adviezen van mensen die afkomstig zijn uit de moslimwereld en zich uitstekend hebben aangepast in het liberale Europa。 Bon plan! Hopelijk wordt het verhaal uit Ik ga leven van Lale Gül en anderen die zich uit (durven) spreken gehoord en worden ze als denktank ingeschakeld。Ik wil optimistisch blijven。 In Europa is de emancipatie in 50 jaar ook enorm verbeterd。 Als ik nu boeken lees van de jaren vijftig dan zakt mijn broek af。 Bijvoorbeeld dit meisjesboek van mijn moeder waar ik deze review over schreef: https://www。goodreads。com/book/show/1。。。We lopen een aantal jaar voor。 Laten we andere vrouwen helpen om ook vrij en zelfstandig te worden! 。。。more

This is a brave, sympathetic, thoughtful work by feminist Ayaan Hirsi Ali。 It tackles a sensitive subject with compassion and directness, and is well-worth the read (or listen, especially since the author herself reads the audiobook version)。 It raises uncomfortable questions for policy-makers and leaders in Europe and other liberal (small l) democracies about what it means to be an open, pluralistic society with a shared sense of values, purpose, and future。

A bold, brave dive into the erosion of women's rights, in part by a tepid fear from Euopean institutions to tackle the issue of immigration and assimilation。Anyone who is a serious student of Women's Right's and the fight for equality should consider this a must read。 A bold, brave dive into the erosion of women's rights, in part by a tepid fear from Euopean institutions to tackle the issue of immigration and assimilation。Anyone who is a serious student of Women's Right's and the fight for equality should consider this a must read。 。。。more

A powerful, thought provoking, and passionate critique of the current immigration situation in Europe and its lasting effects on the status of women。 To be read by those open and questioning minds。 Not for the faint of heart。

Very informative。。。。 lots of facts and figures of crimes against women; mostly committed by illegal emigreesDefinitely not a pleasure read。

I enjoyed listening to this authors perspective on the Islamic world since it was a different perspective from what you normally hear from the rest of the American culture。 I would recommend this book to help round out your perspective on Islam’s effects on culture。

Truthy or True?I am extremely glad I read this book。 The author's key point is this: "Women's safety from predatory men is the issue around which all true feminists must rally and coalesce。" And yet, time and again, we don't。 Instead, we find ourselves caught up in other fights/concerns -- racism, Islamophobia, reconciliation/forgiveness, etc。 What the author clearly lays out is the dystopian future that awaits if we allow women's rights to be out in public to be eroded。The main problem I have w Truthy or True?I am extremely glad I read this book。 The author's key point is this: "Women's safety from predatory men is the issue around which all true feminists must rally and coalesce。" And yet, time and again, we don't。 Instead, we find ourselves caught up in other fights/concerns -- racism, Islamophobia, reconciliation/forgiveness, etc。 What the author clearly lays out is the dystopian future that awaits if we allow women's rights to be out in public to be eroded。The main problem I have with this book is that it tried to find evidence to support the claims, when countries are either not collecting the evidence or are hiding it。 So the author had to cobble together a lot of stats that aren't quite enough for me。 The over-emphasis on statistics at the beginning of the book & their (admitted) flaws made me wonder whether I am buying her arguments because they sound true, or because they are true。She takes a long time to attempt to rebut the perception that because she is speaking out against the OBVIOUSLY misogynist culture of the Islamic world, she is not a racist。 As someone from the U。S。, I'm still grappling with the way Europeans have flagged anti-religious feelings with racism。 They are two separate things。 Racism is the hatred of someone because of immutable characteristics。 People's religions are mutable。 This isn't the same thing & the fact that European liberals have decided they are is striking to me。 In the U。S。 -- for men and women -- race seems to trump gender in terms of the "worst" behavior。 Racial slurs cannot be quoted in a research paper, but misogynist slurs are used on network TV。 Seems like the same thing is going on in Europe, but even worse because the horrific cultural views of women in the Middle East are trickling into and affecting mainstream European society。 What Ali does show us is how the slippery slope of "cultural relativism" is allowing Sharia-culture, where women must remove themselves from the public sphere, else face physical violence as well as shunning, has arrived in Europe。I'm not sure whether Ali's important points would have been better made in a shorter essay, but I hope that book reviewers from La Monde and The Economist, etc。 pick it up and use their reviews to highlight her salient points。 Because she does make some extremely good arguments about how the "Wir shaffen das" attitude towards open doors/welcome, WITHOUT appropriate support/structure, has failed both native-born European women AND the Islamic immigrants who have arrived。 I appreciated the fact that Ali made proposals on how to fix it -- and need to spend some time considering her first reform suggestion: i。e。 forget about figuring out whether someone is in danger -- everyone who migrates is in danger of some extreme harm, whether extreme poverty or physical violence/death -- and focus on the likelihood of assimilation/integration。Our inability to discuss problems in our society for fear of being labeled racist is ridiculous。 I wish the epithet 'misogynist' had 1/2 as much weight as 'racist'。 The failure of the state to protect its citizens is inexcusable。 I am an opponent of the U。S。's "lock em up" justice system for a variety of reasons, but the lack of consequences for the cases Ali cites is a significant problem, underscoring the misogyny of the judicial class, that devalues women's pain/suffering, as well as the European liberal society's lack of preparation to face a large influx of people with very different expectations of how the world works/should work。You should read this book if you live in Europe and have not had an opportunity to discuss the perceptions of women with large groups of Muslim men。 。。。more

Terrific, well researched, lots of facts and figures to backup the arguments。

Well written and well argued, I highly recommend this book。 Ayaan Hirsi Ali doesn’t paint with broad brushstrokes; she nuances her claims。 I value her opinions all the more for her honesty。 I don’t agree with some of the conclusions, but I absolutely think that she is raising awareness about a real problem that is rarely faced head on。

Sara Christians

Addresses a topic many refuse to discuss plainly - Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been brave in this respect in all of her books。 Prey, however, lacks the emotional punch that her previous books had and her proposed solutions to the problem of sexual violence in Europe seem unlikely to be successful even if they were adopted and implemented, which seems impossible with the current climate of political correctness。 There is good information and analysis here, though, and it is worth the read

Expertly researched and a must read。 Ayaan Hirsi Ali continues to be a woman I am inspired by。 Her conclusions about how to reform the current immigration/asylum system in Europe is for the most part spot on (although the libertarian in my disagrees with some of her recommendations of interventionism)。 This is the type of feminism I can get behind。 Well done!

the abuse of women is allowed to flourish。This mass migration can inflict negative changes upon a civilized society。 When the powers that be allow anyone to enter the country, regardless of cultural background or history of criminal behavior, only havoc can ensue。 If their criminal behavior is allowed, soon it becomes accepted and the “outsiders” effectively control the narrative, changing the world of the “insiders” negatively。 Women hide in their homes, don’t go out alone, not for religious reasons but out of fear。 It was not until the order to allow unfettered immigration was instituted that rampant abuse of women began to occur。 This mass influx, according to the author, also coincided with mass terrorist attacks across Europe。 Although denied, at first, it has now been acknowledged that there are “no go” zones in which whites and women are unwelcome and law enforcement, ambulances and fire departments will not enter without a security escort for fear of being attacked。Searching for help when faced with this religiously motivated abusive behavior by migrant men, women are brushed off, blamed, refused justice or simply ignored by government officials, law enforcement and other witnesses because even they fear being ostracized, ridiculed, labeled racists or worse, even suffer retaliation from the unpunished offenders。 Anyone who speaks the truth about the situation, is probably going to be in danger, judges included。 It is for this reason that the crimes are not punished appropriately, if at all。 It is probably why Ali’s books do not get the wide recognition they deserve。 If they were applauded, the people praising them would be wrongfully labeled as anti-immigrant, xenophobic or racists, rather than pro law enforcement, pro respect for women, pro controlled borders, and pro appropriate punishment for crimes。 They would all require bodyguards。When immigrants who claim to be children are bearded men, and are still believed, something is wrong with the society that pretends to believe them, not with the culture of these migrants who abuse women。 If the system was more tightly controlled, rotten eggs would be removed before admitted, truly deported and not allowed back, not given comfort and sanctuary by misguided citizens believing they are being compassionate when they are allowing their society to become disrespectful to women and reversing the rights they worked so hard to achieve。 Law abiding, moral immigrants would be admitted regardless of country or color or religion。 Those who could add something to society would be encouraged to come and be welcomed。 Those willing to learn the language and take on the cloak of their new country would succeed, but to do so, they would be expected to abide by the laws and show some appreciation for the opportunity they are being given。All those who believe that our borders should be open, that anyone should have unfettered access to anyone’s country, should read this book。 Actually, everyone should read this book because we are all effected by mass migration when it has a negative impact on our country, and if the Muslim migrant resists integration, he merely recreates his own country within a safe space that is provided for him, in his host country。 Ali investigated the situation and wrote the book because she wanted to know why certain streets were emptying of European women。 She found out why and outlines the reasons for the failure of Muslims to integrate into the society of their host countries。 They won’t work in certain industries, won’t work next to women, won’t obey the laws of the country, and these refusals to adjust are being accepted and accommodated。 She offers sensible suggestions to solve the problems, not eliminate them。 She is not against immigration。 Bleeding hearts are motivated by altruistic concerns, but they are not solving the problem, they are creating it。 If you welcome immigrants, they will come, if they have no requirements to enter, they, most likely, will not be the cream of the crop。 It is a recipe for disaster。This book is an honest, fearless appraisal of the effect of migration on a country not willing to control its borders。 。。。more
