I'm always honest, John. Yes, I've heard of her. She has appeared on the Jon Stewart show, among other places. She is certainly a controversial figure, a hero to some but apparently also a liar who pretended to be a refugee in order to be accepted first in the Netherlands and then in America. At any rate, as a refugee from a Muslim country, even if she didn't lie, her story lends support to the pro-refugee point of view.

But as far as her entire anti-Islam argument, I'm afraid that we won't get very far if you simply abdicate your end of the conversation and refer me to the the full body of work of an author you agree with, without even telling me what it is she said that you agree with and what points of hers you find persuasive and why. I could, of course, refer you to other authors who agree with me, but I thought the purpose of this thread was to have a discussion. If you're not prepared to make your own points, then I don't see why you are bothering to pretend to participate in a discussion.
