The Ayaan Hirsi Ali Podcast
Courage.Media
Frequency: 1 episode/10d. Total Eps: 18

We are now standing on the precipice of history. Powerful political and cultural forces are seeking to upend western liberal democracies and the freedoms we so often take for granted. Few people understand what’s at stake quite like Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
After a dramatic escape from a strict Islamic upbringing in Somalia, she found refuge in the Netherlands where she became an elected member of the Dutch Parliament. Now a celebrated author and activist, Ayaan has devoted her life to defending western values against threats from Islamic fundamentalism and more recently, far left progressive ideology.
Part of her Courage.Media platform, The Ayaan Hirsi Ali podcast explores how anti-western, anti-liberal movements are taking root in our politics, our schools, and our communities. On this podcast, Ayaan invites a variety of world-renowned guests to discuss these issues in great depth with her, and we hope you enjoy listening.

Episode 1
mardi 22 octobre 2024 • Duration 01:06:35
Douglas Murray is a best-selling author and prescient thinker. He has long been a leading defender of the West. In his books, The Strange Death of Europe (2017), The Madness of Crowds (2019), and The War on the West (2022), he identified the threats facing the West, both internal and external, and has suggested how we might defend ourselves. He is also a friend.
It was a pleasure talking with him and it was encouraging to hear his message of hope for our society. Enjoy the discussion!
P.S. After our discussion in our next episode with Anna Khachiyan, I will make sure I don’t have my scarf over the mic, so you should be able to hear me better! Apologies, but it is a work in progress, and I really thank you for your support and for bearing with us.
