Episode 104: Prey - The Erosion of Women's Rights in Europe by Ayaan Hirsi Ali - Deep Dive Book Review

In our review today, Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Prey examines the rise in sexual violence against women in Europe, particularly linking it to increased immigration from Muslim-majority countries. Ali argues that cultural attitudes towards women, often rooted in the "modesty doctrine" and polygamy, contribute to the problem. She critiques the European establishment's response, citing underreporting, insufficient prosecutions, and denial of the issue's cultural dimensions. The book presents numerous case studies and statistical data to support its claims while acknowledging the complexities and limitations of the available information. Ali ultimately calls for a multifaceted solution, including cultural integration, sex education, and stronger governmental support through accountability and enforcement.
