Dutch parliamentarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a native of Somalia who emigrated to The Netherlands in the early 1990s, is no stranger to controversy among her fellow Muslims. Living in the West, she felt free to publicly criticize Islam's treatment of women.

But that freedom came at a price. In 2004, a short film Ali scripted called Submission was shown on Dutch television. In the film, naked women veiled with see-through shrouds painted with verses of the Quran kneel in prayer, telling their stories as if they are speaking to Allah.

The film's co-writer and director Theo Van Gogh was later stabbed to death by a Muslim radical. A letter pinned to the body with a dagger threatened Ali's life. Since then, she has been under the constant protection of body guards.

The danger hasn't stopped her from remaining outspoken about her beliefs. Ali calls her new collection of essays, The Caged Virgin, an "Emancipation Proclamation" for women and Islam.

  • Ayaan's story is ...

    Ayaan's story is only partially about her childhood experience, but more about the contemporary anaysis of political Islam in almost every Muslim country and society. Muslims who criticize Ayaan lose so much credibility as they pretend that real problems of rampant human rights abuses under the blessing of Islam do not exist. These are well documented facts by 100's of activists and organizations, not just by Ayaan.

  • Actually, no. Her ...

    Actually, no. Her story is based not just on her own life but on the lives of countless other muslim women and on what it says in the qu'ran. It's funny how people accuse her of wanting money because they don't have a better argument. If she just wanted money, she could have continued as a well-paid interpreter but instead she has put her life at huge risk and can never be free from the death threats because she was courageous enough to speak out against violence and oppression under Islam.

  • That seems a ...

    That seems a strange comment. It could be interperted as a threat. Do you mean it as such or are you passing on friendly advise? She is giving an opinion which I might add is echoed in the minds of many people. Threats that arise from an opinion such as yours might be, only add fuel the idea of how evil the people pushing this 'religion' in Europe really are. But as a British subject I,m certain you really believe in free speech as defended by this nation for centuries.

  • Miss. Ali should ...

    Miss. Ali should not feel guilty for the death of Mr. Van Gogh she was not the planner or killer of that brave man. He wanted to assist Miss. Ali in exposing problems in the treatment of women in Islam. The murder was a premeditated act carried out by an insane Moroccan man. Ms. Ali is not responsible for the death of Mr. Van Gogh.
