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.

and islam could easily be re-named to "Mr Huggles Snuggytime Brigade and even THAT wouldnt make islam peaceful in any way.

peace comes in actions, and islam by it's actions has shown itself to be violent enough to put even america to shame!

As expected. I just demonstrated that Muslims are the most backwards people who contribute virtually nothing to the world in terms of science or culture, but only go arount murdering and destroying. They are doing it AS WE SPEAK in a dozen Muslim countries. And when Muslims like you see facts you just say: 'You are a Zionist and it is all lies'. Well, civilized people have no interest in people like you. I see absolutely no point in talking to someone who has zero interest in facts.

I think you can tell a lot about a society - any society - by the way it deals with criticism.

@topperheartramada Lol funny how you claim we're backwards when most of your ancestors in Europw were in the dark ages, who helped out and brought civilliziation in? It was the Muslim Arabs, read a book. Stop embarrassing yourself don

Radical Islam is what the media created. Especially since it were a few years back & the haters if you claim you belong to a different religion or an athiest, you could at least do well with respecting other religions.

of course, muslims always resolve to racism when they cant think of any arguments. Showing their true colors.

Let's back the tape:

Islam is able to give us the perfect societies of peace you say?

Okay where do we see this peace?........ ohh wait, nowhere! Except secular societies. Why might that be?..... Maybe because islam wont solve SHIT! Can we conclude that islam will never create a perfect society?..... Oh yeah we can! The further the religion is pushed away, the wealthier the society.
