UW to host controversial author who rejects Islam

When Ayaan Hirsi Aliâ??s name was first mentioned as a possible speaker at UW-Madison this semester, she was rejected as too controversial. But, ultimately, a student committee voted to bring the outspoken critic of Islam and author of “Infidel” to Madison, despite concerns by the Muslim Student Association. Hirsi Ali will speak at the Wisconsin Union Theater on Tuesday as part of the Distinguished Lecture Series.
