Ayaan Hirsi Ali in America

George Will profiles the brave Muslim feminist, which would be worthy of mention even if it didn’t lead off with this anecdote:

“While her security contingent waits outside the Georgetown restaurant, Ayaan Hirsi Ali orders what the menu calls “raw steak tartare.” Amused by the redundancy, she speculates that it is intended to immunize the restaurant against lawyers, should a customer be discommoded by that entree. She has been in America only two weeks. She is a quick study.”

  • Amusing, but I suspect it has to do with too few Americans knowing exactly what steak tartare is.
