Ayaan Hirsi Ali: CONVERT or CULTURE WARRIOR? - Elizabeth Oldfield & Glen Scrivener
Ayaan Hirsi Ali recently announced her conversion to Christianity. The Somali-born ex-Muslim was one of the key voices of New Atheism in the mid 2000s but created a big stir when she published an article titled 'Why I am a now a Christian'. In this special video edition bonus episode of The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God podcast, Justin Brierley speaks to Elizabeth Oldfield and Glen Scrivener about Hirsi Ali's story, hearing clips from her interviews and responses from critics who claim her embrace of Christianity is politically motivated rather than a spiritual conversion. 🎧 The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God Podcast & Think Faith: Subscribe to the podcast: https://justinbrierley.com/surprising...
