'Not talking about them allows them to expand': Islam critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali criticises The Project's Waleed Aly for calling Islamic State 'weak' in editorial widely-praised by the Left
- Islam critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali accused The Project's Waleed Aly of having an agenda
- She said he used Orwellian tactics to downplay ISIS threat to help expansion
- Ms Hirsi Ali had to cancel her Australian speaking tour over of security fears
- She has lived with tight security because of stance against Islamist extremists
International Islam critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali has accused The Project host Waleed Aly of downplaying the threat of ISIS so the terror group can 'quietly expand'.
The
ex-Muslim writer, who grew up in Somalia, launched a scathing critique
of the Gold Logie-awarding winning Muslim media personality's argument
that ISIS is weak, in an editorial that went viral online.
She compared his arguments about the Islamist terror group to political doublespeak in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Waleed Aly told viewers after the Paris terrorist attacks that ISIS was actually weak
'With statements like that, tell him
we've all read George Orwell, you want to turn things around and turn
things on their head, we know exactly what you want to do,' she told 7News.
'Don't talk about ISIS because it empowers them.
'Gee. So let's all pretend ISIS is not there so that they can quietly expand. That's basically what he means.'
In
November 2015, Waleed Aly told viewers on The Project ISIS was weak,
following the terrorist attacks in Paris that killed 130 people and
wounded hundreds of others.
