WORLD:
You were once an asylum seeker and an immigrant yourself.
Since you started your new life in the Netherlands in the early 1990s, you have been observing, analyzing and commenting on migration and its permanent crisis.
Why did you make it and so many others didn't?
Ayaan Hirsi Ali:
I recognize four different types of migrants and asylum seekers who come to Western countries: First, those who adapt, as I did.
And then there are those, mostly young men whom I call “the threat”, who come from destroyed societies and families and just can't make it.
Which cause many problems here.
And then there are the fanatics who want to radicalize others.
As a fourth category, I recognize those people who fall into the social system and no longer get out of there.
We, the willing and conformist, are definitely a minority when it comes to Muslims.
