Marie Claire magazine: What do you say to Muslim women who fight for the right to wear the head scarf?
Ayaan Hirsi Ali: I say that's fine - unless you impose your personal choice on others. If you wear the veil, the message you convey is that you're superior to women who do not, because you're saying they are whores. You're also saying men are incapable of sexual self-restraint, and that if they see women who are partly covered or not veiled, they will react like my grandmother's he-goat.

Actually, I think they may have a point about the men, but scarves and covering up is not the answer. You just gotta go with the power.
