Ayaan Hirsi Ali

An interview with Colbert, of course he's a joker.

She speaks 6 languages.

I've learned much in this book about the clans in Africa and the way they fight and how they feel bound to help only the people that shared the same GGGGGG grandfather's, they are considered a clan if they are related anywhere way back. There is much clan fighting in Africa, as there are in the M.E.

I also didn't know that as far as female genital mutilation, there are different types. The worst is where they cut the labia minora and majora off and there's nothing there but a very small area left where blood can flow out and when women that have had (well actually) any mutilation can only tinkle in drops. When they sit in a public toilet next to a woman that hasn't been mutilated, they can tell that either she's no longer a virgin or never was mutilated.

From what I understand this woman is now living in the USA. The neighbors of hers in Holland complained about her living next door because they knew she was being protected from the Muslims. Two-thirds of school children in Holland are now Muslim and now there's a proposal by Dutch politician Geert Wilders of the Freedom Party to ban the Koran. I'm afraid there will be a 9/11 there but something has to change, this world is in jeopardy with Muslims infiltrating all countries IMO and many countries are now afraid of free speech such as Brussels as noted here on this site:
Ayaan Hirsi Ali en de strijd tegen de radicale islam: English


Readers with an eye on European politics will recognize Ali as the Somali-born member of the Dutch parliament who faced death threats after collaborating on a film about domestic violence against Muslim women with controversial director Theo van Gogh (who was himself assassinated). Even before then, her attacks on Islamic culture as "brutal, bigoted, [and] fixated on controlling women" had generated much controversy. In this suspenseful account of her life and her internal struggle with her Muslim faith, she discusses how these views were shaped by her experiences amid the political chaos of Somalia and other African nations, where she was subjected to genital mutilation and later forced into an unwanted marriage. While in transit to her husband in Canada, she decided to seek asylum in the Netherlands, where she marveled at the polite policemen and government bureaucrats. Ali is up-front about having lied about her background in order to obtain her citizenship, which led to further controversy in early 2006, when an immigration official sought to deport her and triggered the collapse of the Dutch coalition government. Apart from feelings of guilt over van Gogh's death, her voice is forceful and unbowed—like Irshad Manji, she delivers a powerful feminist critique of Islam informed by a genuine understanding of the religion.
