This wonderful woman is the reason why I started speaking out on the plight of women in the Islamic world. She burst onto the world stage after the death of Theo Van Gogh at the hands of a "Muslim extremist". Van Gogh was murdered for producing the movie "Submission" which Hirsi Ali wrote the script and provided the voice over for. The note that was pinned to Van Gogh (with the knife used to kill him) was a threat on Hirsi Ali's life for her role in the film. The threat was real enough that the Hirsi Ali ended up living in a police station...for her own protection! She is now living in the US but is still keeping a very low profile because of the threats on her life.
Hirsi Ali was on Hannity and Colmes last night to promote her new book "Infidel". Hot Air has the video. Her quiet demeanor belayed belied the intensity of the subject. It is must see viewing (and reading) for anyone who doubts the validity of my previous posts.
