UWâ??s right to invite Hirsi Ali and debate her ideas

…we think it is especially important to welcome Hirsi Ali to the campus, and we are happy that the UWâ??s Distinguished Lecture Series committee chose to invite her — and that the Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation has helped to support her visit.

As Hirsi Ali says, â??The message of freedom of expression, womenâ??s rights, the treatment of women in Islam — these are all issues that are relevant for all young people.â?

Hirsi Aliâ??s visit has stirred honest dialogue. Thatâ??s good.
