Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a prominent former Muslim and atheist commentator, has publicly announced her conversion to Christianity. This revelation has sparked a wide range of reactions, with some expressing support for her decision while others question the motives behind her conversion. Ali's reasoning for embracing Christianity appears to be rooted in her belief in the unifying power of the Christian narrative, particularly in the face of global challenges such as authoritarianism, Islamism, and woke ideology. The announcement has generated significant attention and debate within intellectual and religious circles, with various commentators offering their perspectives on Ali's conversion.
I will try to have this out on Friday. I have zero doubt that her conversion to Christianity is sincere. After all, didn't Christ tell us to stand up to Russia, regime change Iran, confront China, and most importantly, back Israel and accept 2 million Palestinian refugees? https://t.co/MFjh5zygul
I can fucking guarantee all of you that soon enough Ayaan Hirsi Ali will be telling us what "Real Christianity" actually "is". This is such a transparent and cynical move.
Many Christians dismiss @Ayaan's conversion story for being focused on the faith as a civilization force. But that's a symptom of how the faith has been confined to a private, individualistic sphere. Historic Christianity spread civilizationally! https://t.co/VXjAYzVa9t
Christians on my timeline objected to the fact that @Ayaan's conversion story seemed so heavily focused on Christianity as a civilizational force, rather than an encounter with Jesus. They're wrong to do so. Historic Christianity spread precisely this way: civilizationally.… https://t.co/kL6e8VEMOC

Has @ayaan assented to the basic precepts of "mere Christianity"? That's a relevant question for her ministers. For the rest of us, her civilizational case for converting to the faith should be more than enough. My latest. https://t.co/VXjAYzVa9t
Ayaan Hirsi Ali's essay announcing her conversion to Christianity is somehow dumber than I assumed. She says it's due to the rise of the Chinese Communist Party and Putin's Russia, along with "global Islamism," and wokism. Stunning and brave -- spoken like a true DC think tanker https://t.co/2q5LODklK4
From Muslim to atheist, and now a Christian, @ayaan explains why she believes only the Judeo-Christian tradition can unite the world against the forces of authoritarianism, Islamism, and woke ideology. https://t.co/FcNvvKurFR

Ayan Hirsi Alis announcement of embracing Christianity is one of the biggest pivotal moments culturally since 9/11 and I don't know how many people actually realize that. Ayan Hirsi Ali was the poster child of what the New Atheists promised Islam. Not just is she saying that she… https://t.co/B6xGaMTTAl
I don't think Ayaan Hirsi Ali made a very good case for becoming a Christian, but I don't view her as an "atheist apostate." That's ridiculous. I just disagree with her reasoning and conclusion. My opinion of her as a person and personal hero has not changed at all.

Should we all just convert to Judaism? Ayaan Hirsi Ali says she is now a Christian. It doesn’t appear to have anything to do with whether Christianity is true, but because it can unite the west. The problem is that Christianity doesn’t actually do that? Like if someone runs on… https://t.co/KvPQFnc1C2 https://t.co/EPcvrZq5as
Everyone’s losing their minds over Ayaan’s utilitarian way of talking about Christianity in this essay, but I bet any money she had a full-on Damascene conversion and it’s just too personal to talk about https://t.co/l8qd3xNusQ
This is disappointing. Her "conversion" had nothing to do with coming to the realization that Christianity is true, only that she believes it's useful. I'd call this being a cultural Christian rather than a Christian per se. There's a big difference, IMO.https://t.co/gY1pZgx3sM https://t.co/KbYzq7j6hj
The brave & brilliant Ayaan Hirsi Ali is one of my heroes, but I disagree w her here ("Why I am now a Christian"). The alternative to theistic morality is not atheism but humanism, the use of reason to enhance human flourishing. 1/3 https://t.co/ujSCMRQLYP
The most Christian continent in the world is Africa, where Ayaan escaped from. Secularism built the west with Christian stupidity kicking and screaming the entire time. How sad Ayaan lost her way. Yet it is typical of the formerly religious to relapse like an addict. https://t.co/WKGRwKX7d2
LOL, what a fraud. Now she claims to have "converted to Christianity". One of the reasons for her conversion? To "fend off the threat of Vladimir Putin's Russia" (and Iran too). No mention of Christ as God. It's entirely a political LARP for her. https://t.co/glBPnGOryc
Ayaan Hirsi Ali (@Ayaan) was long since quietly disowned by the Gnu Atheists, when they decided to push 'left' Islamism (yes; so ironic), so the news that she's become a Christian will doubtlessly relieve the Gnu Atheists' shrivelled, sociopathic souls. Now they can denounce her
She was a Muslim, then an atheist. Now she is a Christian. This is an extraordinary article by @Ayaan. https://t.co/8MFODl6l1H 1/4
