Ayaan Hirsi Ali takes on Richard Dawkins over New Atheism – UnHerd
Ayaan Hirsi Ali has said that she regrets her role in the New Atheism movement, as part of a Saturday debate with Richard Dawkins.
At the inaugural Dissident Dialogues conference in New York, Ali said that she now feels she was wrong to conflate Christianity with Islam when she was an atheist. “I do regret doing that,” she told moderator Freddie Sayers. “I’m guilty of having said all faiths, all perceptions of God are the same and are equally damaging, so…I have come to regret the damage that I’ve done.”

A very interesting debate. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a fascinating person, newly professing faith in Christ, after formerly advocating atheism, along with Richard Dawkins. In this debate, she takes on Dawkins and shows the moral emptiness of Dawkins’ position. Her understanding of Christianity is growing, and I am not sure whether she fully grasps orthodoxy or not. Nevertheless, she does stand up for Christ in this unusual setting.
Warning: Dawkins uses some bad language in this debate.
