Ayaan Hirsi Ali
“Your wives are as a tilth unto you, so approach your tilth when or how you wish” (Quran 2:223) and “When the man invites his wife to his bed she should satisfy him even if she were on the camel’s saddle” (Sahihul-Jami’). It was passages like these that ISIS used to justify the buying, selling, and raping of Yazidi women in Iraq. The women were not sexually enslaved because of their ethnicity but rather treated as the Quran ordains non-Muslim women should be treated.”

“Yet when I speak to Swedes about the issue, few have heard of the “grooming gangs” in the United Kingdom or the “lover boys” in the Netherlands. Each case is considered in isolation, while their glaring similarities are overlooked.”
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Prey: Immigration, Islam, and the Erosion of Women's Rights

Ayaan Hirsi Ali
“The extreme, yet perhaps inevitable, expression of all these beliefs and behaviors—polygamy, religiously sanctioned bigotry, unchecked sexual harassment, a lack of sex education, repressed sexual urges, and the honor/shame dichotomy—is taharrush gamea, “the rape game” in Arabic. Gang rape is considered a particularly reprehensible crime in the West, but in the Arab world, where speaking about sexual violence elicits more suffering than support, the rape game takes place openly.”

Ayaan Hirsi Ali
“They will grow up in a cultural cocoon watching TV and movies from overseas, and vacations—if they have them—will be spent in their parents’ country of origin. They will go to the local mosque. When their parents decide it is time, they will be pushed into an arranged marriage, often with a distant cousin sourced from their country of origin, using a marriage certificate to enable the cousin to immigrate. Marrying outside their ethnic or religious community is proscribed. This cultural isolation creates what has been called in one UK report a “first generation in every generation.”41”

Ayaan Hirsi Ali
“They say to me, “Eskild, if you need to control your woman, one child is not enough. Two is a little better, then she is at home taking care of the family, and three is more or less okay. But when she has four, Eskild, four children mean you have total control of where your woman is. She is too busy with four kids to go outside.” A mother with four children is certainly not going to make it to work. Unless she has an exceptionally successful husband, she will likely remain on welfare most of her life. Eskild says that often he sees mothers who have four children by the time they are 38 or 39 having an extra one at that point because when their older children reach 18 years of age, they will no longer qualify for child support.”
