In the captivating memoir, Now They Call Me Infidel, Ayaan Hirsi Ali recounts her harrowing journey from a devout Muslim to an outspoken atheist and human rights activist. Born into a deeply conservative Somali family in Mogadishu, Ayaan witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of religious extremism and female oppression. At the age of 22, she fled her war-torn homeland and sought asylum in the Netherlands.

In her new country, Ayaan embarked on a quest for freedom and enlightenment. She studied politics and philosophy, and became increasingly disillusioned with the repressive doctrines of Islam. In 2004, she co-produced the controversial film Submission, which exposed the violent and misogynistic teachings of the religion. The film sparked outrage among Muslims worldwide and made Ayaan a target for death threats.

Undeterred, Ayaan continued to speak out against religious intolerance and advocate for the rights of women and girls. She founded the AHA Foundation, which supports projects that promote education, gender equality, and freedom of expression in Muslim-majority countries. Ayaan's work has earned her numerous international awards and accolades, including the Humanist of the Year Award from the American Humanist Association.

Now They Call Me Infidel is more than just a personal memoir; it is a powerful indictment of religious extremism and a call for universal human rights. Ayaan Hirsi Ali's story is a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who dare to challenge the status quo and fight for what they believe in.

This gripping and inspirational memoir is a must-read for anyone who cares about religious freedom, women's rights, and the search for truth and redemption.
