Islam, the last stage of progressivism

Islam, the last stage of progressivism

To be progressive and “open – minded” is to be ironic and reactionary. The ultimate burn for the society you hate is to convert to Islam, right? Ayaan Hirsi Ali disagrees.

A growing number of progressive Western women are reportedly converting to Islam, attributing their decision to the Israel-Hamas conflict. They document their journeys on social media platforms like TikTok, expressing support for Palestinians and accusing Israel of genocide.

Research fellow Ayaan Hirsi Ali from the Hoover Institution (click here to see more about the books she’s written about the issue) warns that these women may be relinquishing their freedoms, highlighting the perceived inequality of women in Islamic scripture and Sharia law. Despite some critics viewing this trend as a rebellion against Western culture, Ali suggests it reflects a confused generation grappling with moral dislocation. The conversion trend coincides with increased tensions in the Middle East following Hamas’ actions on October 7, leading to protests and controversies on college campuses. Ali criticizes the United Nations for perceived failures and points out the silence of movements like MeToo on the matter.
