Ayaan Hirsi Ali has said that she regrets her role in the New Atheism movement, as part of a Saturday debate with Richard Dawkins.
At the inaugural Dissident Dialogues conference in New York, Ali said that she now feels she was wrong to conflate Christianity with Islam when she was an atheist. “I do regret doing that,” she told moderator Freddie Sayers. “I’m guilty of having said all faiths, all perceptions of God are the same and are equally damaging, so…I have come to regret the damage that I’ve done.”
