Why are so few people talking about the eruption of sexual violence and harassment in Europe’s cities? No one in a position of power wants to admit that the problem is linked to the arrival of several million migrants—most of them young men—from Muslim-majority countries.

In Prey, the best-selling author of Infidel, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, presents startling statistics, criminal cases and personal testimony.  Among these facts: In 2014, sexual violence in Western Europe surged following a period of stability. In 2018 Germany, “offences against sexual self-determination” rose 36 percent from their 2014 rate; nearly two-fifths of the suspects were non-German. In Austria in 2017, asylum-seekers were suspects in 11 percent of all reported rapes and sexual harassment cases, despite making up less than 1 percent of the total population. 

This violence isn’t a figment of alt-right propaganda, Hirsi Ali insists, even if neo-Nazis exaggerate it. It’s a real problem that Europe—and the world—cannot continue to ignore. She explains why so many young Muslim men who arrive in Europe engage in sexual harassment and violence, tracing the roots of sexual violence in the Muslim world from institutionalized polygamy to the lack of legal and religious protections for women. 

A refugee herself, Hirsi Ali is not against immigration. As a child in Somalia, she suffered female genital mutilation; as a young girl in Saudi Arabia, she was made to feel acutely aware of her own vulnerability. Immigration, she argues, requires integration and assimilation. She wants Europeans to reform their broken system—and for Americans to learn from European mistakes. If this doesn’t happen, the calls to exclude new Muslim migrants from Western countries will only grow louder. 

Deeply researched and featuring fresh and often shocking revelations, Prey uncovers a sexual assault and harassment crisis in Europe that is turning the clock on women’s rights much further back than the #MeToo movement is advancing it.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“[Ayaan] Hirsi Ali offers strong evidence for her bound-to-be contentious claims in this in-depth and harrowing volume” — Booklist

Prey exposes a shocking wave of sex crimes across supposedly enlightened Europe. In bracing terms, Ayaan Hirsi Ali defends the rights of women while advocating for a new model of integration for immigrants. Casting aside political correctness and conventional wisdom, Prey is a timely reminder that freedom—indeed, civilization itself—is not a birthright but must be nurtured and protected by each generation.” — Senator Thomas Cotton

“Drawing on her hard knocks as a Somali immigrant and triumphs as a European legislator, Ayaan Hirsi Ali confronts multiethnic Europe’s most intractable problem: an inability to defend its feminist culture against the machismo of its mostly Muslim immigrants. Prey is the best book on the subject: broad in its culture, punctilious in its research, bold and original in its arguments.” — Christopher Caldwell

“Throughout Europe, mismanaged immigration policies are eroding the hard-won rights of women. With her signature grace and lucidity, Ayaan Hirsi Ali documents this alarming development and offers bold, original, and humane solutions. Prey is not a diatribe against multiculturalism—it is a guide to preserving and enriching it. This brilliant and timely book is compulsory reading for anyone who cares about the fate of liberal democracy.” — Christina Hoff Sommers

Prey warns us that if we do not rethink our philosophy for protecting women and children, we risk losing one of Western civilization’s most precious assets: the rule of law.” — Henry A. Kissinger

“In an age of identity politics, the lack of will to deal with our greatest cultural challenges does not make them disappear. It just empowers the most extreme and intolerant voices. In Prey, intrepid civil libertarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali summons the West to confront a remorseless truth: that enabling mass Islamic immigration while lacking the will to acculturate Muslims to Western norms and laws has inevitably eroded the rights and endangered the lives of women—not just Muslim women, all women. A brave and brilliant book.” — Andrew McCarthy

Prey is a rigorous and shocking exposé of a sexual abuse crisis occurring right in the open, in seemingly progressive Europe. Empathetic and authoritative, Ayaan Hirsi Ali demonstrates why we cannot let political correctness and apathy overwhelm our duty to protect women’s rights.” — Megyn Kelly

“Once again Ayaan Hirsi Ali goes where others do not dare. Here she forensically, carefully, and devastatingly exposes one of the worst—and most ignored—scandals of our time. People of all backgrounds and all political persuasions owe her a debt of gratitude for exposing a scandal that has long cried out for the serious and deep treatment it receives here.” — Douglas Murray

“Reconciling women’s rights in Western countries with mass immigration remains a sensitive subject. In Prey, leading humanitarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali constructively explores this topic, drawing on a wealth of knowledge and data to illustrate key tensions between cultural relativism and women’s rights in the twenty-first century. She courageously urges all of us—men, women, those living in Western countries and those living in non-Western countries—to firmly defend the universality of human rights and ensure their continued preservation.” — Senator Ben Sasse

“In this groundbreaking work of research, Ayaan Hirsi Ali documents a disturbing wave of sexual violence in Europe. A vital and essential work, Prey shows what the next step for #MeToo must be.” — Mark Levin

ONCE AGAIN, HIRSI ALI SOUNDS THE ALARM ABOUT THREATS TO WOMEN AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS

ONCE AGAIN, HIRSI ALI SOUNDS THE ALARM ABOUT THREATS TO WOMEN AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS
Ayaan Hirsi Ali's newest book, "Prey", while researched and well-thought out for what Ayaan wanted to say to address the problems she was addressing, adding stories and examples of laws and loopholes that are used by immigrants, leaves you waiting with bated breath, waiting for Hirsi Ali to give concise solutions to the problems that she sees. It also, however, educates the reader to understand that the first problem to be solved is: not recognizing what is actually going on in Europe AND that what is going on IS a problem, further exacerbated by other problems of sexism, patriarchy, rape culture, porn culture, etc. The book seems like a broken record in many ways, in the sense that, Hirsi Ali recounts some stories that we've heard before (those that made international press), societal problems, problematic cultural norms, religious values and political yo-yoing of problems and legislative impotence to deal with violence, etc. What is different about Hirsi Ali's book, however, is that "Prey" superimposes the "broken record" parts of Hirsi Ali's monograph with the issues of increased immigration and specifically with increased immigration from Muslim-majority cultures to demonstrate how immigration is changing Europe and women's rights in Europe. This book is not only a study on these issues: it is a warning to Europe and the entire world to pay attention and understand how mass immigration has, is and will continue, to change their cultures, permanently, for better and for worse.

“PREY (is a reality check) Immigration, Islam & the The Erosion of Women’s Rights”, by an abhorrent author Ayana Hirsi Ali. A wake up call to all (protesters) Americans who value freedom. This book deals with the of western culture, & the clash of a regressive culture. Think…Afghanistan after the Americans left and the effects on the women; this scenario is now playing out in seemingly enlightened European cities. PREY gives clarity to the true meaning of our freedoms and the need to protect it.
A must read.

Miss Ali has researched and documented events and societal conditions that are changing parts of European cities into dangerous No Go Zones! Discover the real and tragic results that are occurring due to ethical ambiguities and antiquated practices. Which is to say they were never good practices and are barbaric by modern standards. Once you read this you can't say you weren't warned! It is time for a Reformation which is the point of another of her books I read called Heretic. Strongly recommended for all whether liberal or conservative. For one group it is eye opening for the other it strengthens their position from prejudice to "what the actual fact."

I love this book, as others from this author, Ayan Hirsi Ali. Incredible life of this woman and how she was able to escape from Somalia and start a successful life in the Western World. Amazing her story. It is a demonstration what we all can achieve if determined to do so. The indomitable human spirit is unstoppable.

Through statistical analysis and interviews with clergy members, social workers, writers, politicians, police men, immigrants, and crime victims, Ayaan Hirisi Ali seeks to show that European woman are facing a crisis of sexual assault at the hands of some migrants from Islamic majority countries and that Europe’s criminal, immigration, social, and political systems have not responded adequately.

It is truly heartbreaking to read about young boys and girls, mothers, and grandmothers being raped or sexually assaulted—and infuriating to read that the perpetrators were handed light sentences, or in some cases, no prison time at all, because they “come from a different culture”. Offenders are almost never deported.

Ms. Ali’s book is at its most powerful when she focuses on well researched instances of rise in sexual assault cases, the rising atmosphere of fear in cities, and the failures of the immigration and criminal justice system to curtail violent offenders with no interest in conforming to western norms. Particularly timely is her argument that, even if women’s rights are not legally curtailed, the rights of women are effectively eroded if women do not feel safe in their bodily integrity in public, and if the law does not punish violations of that integrity.

This, she claims is the current state of affairs in many European cities, and it is predominantly the result, however unpopular it may be to claim, of young male migrants from conservative Islamic majority countries.

Prey becomes somewhat less powerful as it confronts Muslim communities more broadly in Europe. It is Ms. Ali’s belief that the rise of sexual assault in European communities is related not just to an influx of young men from countries who see so called “immodest women” as fair game, but to the existence of what she calls “parallel societies” of Muslim immigrants who do not have much desire to integrate themselves into European society, which would require that they support the equality of women, and instead resort to welfare support and crime.

It is not so much that Ms. Ali’s arguments about certain communities of Muslim immigrants and their failure to integrate are entirely unpersuasive or unimportant for understanding how some Muslim migrants view and treat women, however, they lack the focus and urgency of her chapters focused on sexual assault. Perhaps as an American, I see urban ethnic enclaves as inevitable, and as a socially conservative Catholic, see people living according to more family-oriented norms as more desirable than does Ms. Ali.

Of course, it is also true that a just society cannot turn a blind eye to injustices against women, such as forced marriages of children, domestic violence, and FGM (female genital mutilation) that occur in such neighborhoods.

On the whole, Ms. Ali’s book is a strong challenge to the leaders of Europe to reform their criminal justice, immigration, and educational systems in order to protect the rights of their female citizens and better integrate newcomers to society. They ignore her at their peril.

Recommend the book especially to all liberals who have been thinking their openness to Muslim migration should have no requirements attached. Immigration reform for Europe has become an existential matter to liberal society, and it is now essential for political action.
