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.

I cant believe so many Muslims get on here to trash talk her. If you an adult argument to make against her, and provide good evidence for it, then make your argument - Otherwise get the fuck out. Funny how Christians are so much more willing to put up with criticism, even though they are still annoying. You wouldn't see Christians, Jews, Hindus or Atheists butchering people over a cartoon.
I'm sure your knowlege is 0 about the islam. Every human that knows where islam stands for, and knows what written in the Qaran and the Soennah, is able to see this bulshit.
In Islam, there are many verses in the Koraan that completely contradict one another. Islam preaches for peace... well, unless you are NOT a muslim, in case which you should be killed (Kill the infidels) - this is just a tip of an example... Bullshit? Who is responsible for 99% of this world's terror? who is saying "allah-hu-akbar" before exploding oneself up just to kill other innocent people? Who has sick terms like jihad and shahid? YOU! ISLAM = TERROR. These are literally SYNONYMS
Wishful thinking. Ayaan is a shameless liar and a disgusting human being. Even she has recently admitted, " I have done more harm than good", "My message has come across to the public wrong".
