It is amazing the microphone situation did not get fixed and Ayaan Hirsi Ali had to keep holding this little microphone in her hand. Otherwise it was amazing to hear her speak, wow, amazing courageous and insightful.

Ms. Ayaan, I appreciate what you are doing to inform people about the true nature of Islam. I have been overseas in the middle east, North, West, East, and South Central Africa among other places and generally concur with your opinions. But I must say that my heart is with Africa in general. I share many of your views and concerns in regards to women's right and to the general compliancy of the US population. I too am quite concerned that the radical second left is taking our contry in a perilous direction. I am amazed at your perceptions and insites and your willingness to articulate them as a relatively new US resident. I hope that you decide to become a citizen if you are not already. I have read your book Infidel when I was last in the middle east.

I am currently labouring on my BS Degree in Adult Education. I would like to send you some discovery questions concerning your American Enterprise Institute employer. It's purpose is to discern AEI's mission statement and how it values internship or linkage programs. There are about twenty questions.

I hope to hear from you via email. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in representation in my university paper.

Thank you for you Courage and Service.

Respectfully Submitted,

Kumasi
