Oh don't be silly, Roger. If you are too lazy to follow where I suggest, then here is something for you.

The Economist wrote: "Unfortunately, very few Muslims will accept Ms Hirsi Ali’s full-blown argument, which insists that Islam must change in at least five important ways. A moderate Muslim might be open to discussion of four of her suggestions if the question were framed sensitively. Muslims, she says, must stop prioritising the afterlife over this life; they must “shackle sharia” and respect secular law; they must abandon the idea of telling others, including non-Muslims, how to behave, dress or drink; and they must abandon holy war. However, her biggest proposal is a show-stopper: she wants her old co-religionists to “ensure that Muhammad and the Koran are open to interpretation and criticism”

She is married to Niall Ferguson. He is not a nobody. With these two on my side how can I lose? Except that it is not about losing or winning.

Your rudeness suggests your arguments are threadbare.
