After attending The Glasgow Academy, Ferguson received a Demyship (half-
scholarship) at Magdalen College, Oxford, graduating with a first-class
honours degree in History in 1985.[17]
He married journalist Susan Douglas, whom he met in 1987 when she was his
editor at the Daily Mail. They have three children.[48]
[edit] Relationship with Ayaan Hirsi Ali
In February 2010 the Daily Mail reported that, following a series of affairs
, Ferguson had left his wife for former Dutch MP and feminist critic of
Islam Ayaan Hirsi Ali.[49][50] A similar story in The Independent was
followed by the publication of a correction, noting that Ferguson's marriage
had broken down before he met Ali.[51] As of June 2011, Ali is reportedly
five months pregnant with Ferguson's child.[52] Ferguson dedicated his book
Civilization to "Ayaan". In an interview with The Guardian, Ferguson spoke
about his love for Ali, who, he writes in the preface, "understands better
than anyone I know what Western civilisation really means – and what it
still has to offer the world".[2]
Ali, he continued,
"grew up in the Muslim world, was born in Somalia, spent time in Saudi
Arabia, was a fundamentalist as a teenager. Her journey from the world of
her childhood and family to where she is today is an odyssey that's
extremely hard for you or I to imagine. To see and hear how she understands
western philosophy, how she understands the great thinkers of the
Enlightenment, of the 19th-century liberal era, is a great privilege,
because she sees it with a clarity and freshness of perspective that's
really hard for us to match. So much of liberalism in its classical sense is
taken for granted in the west today and even disrespected. We take freedom
for granted, and because of this we don't understand how incredibly
vulnerable it is."[2] | x******g

和这个小教徒一比，原来的老婆简直就是乡巴佬，我们的ferguson决心弃暗投明，加入
4个老婆教，男人的福音啊。拉登大叔 终于convert了一个气度教徒
好了，不开Ferguson开恶劣玩笑了。很显然，他爱好历史和哲学，导致了他的婚姻恋爱
价值取向，有那么点点spritual倾向，只是不知道他们会不会导致肉体接触，其实我觉
得他可以保留旧老婆，和那个小意思啦教徒精神恋爱 |
