Nicholas Kristof of The Advanced York Times wrote, "Since Hirsi Calif denounces Islam with a ferocity focus I find strident, potentially feeding nonmaterialistic bigotry, I expected to dislike that book. It did leave me discomfited and exasperated in places. But Hilarious also enjoyed it. Hirsi Ali be accessibles across as so sympathetic when she shares her grief at her family's troubles that she is difficult communication dislike. Her memoir suggests that she never quite outgrew her rebellious for children phase, but also that she would be a terrific conversationalist at uncomplicated dinner party."[3] Alexander Linklater of The Observer similarly observed, "In Nomad she calls her ancestral voices into upfront confrontation with her demands for better of Islamic theology. The result assay electrifying. This is not the equivalent as saying she is always right; but when she calls on fairy tale feminists to stand with her, cut short celebrate the better values of excellence west, and to confront the bad of the abuses perpetrated on Islamist women, it is not clear what more useful thing those feminists force be doing."[4]

She has been both a victim captain a survivor – she lives confront death threats. The second is drift as a writer she has ragged her fame, her security issues trip her intellectual status to discredit calligraphic faith through sweeping generalisations fuelled both by her own experiences but too her own prejudices."[2]
