Heroic refugee flees arranged marriage, becomes MP and defies Islam with film about Koran
Posted by Duncan Bayne on 9/07/2004, 3:03pm
This woman is truly heroic. After fleeing an arranged marriage in Somalia, she worked her way through an education in political science, and is now openly challenging Islam as an MP in Holland:
After describing the Prophet Mohammed as a pervert, Ayaan Hirsi Ali already needs round-the-clock protection from the Dutch security services.

...

Mrs Hirsi Ali arrived in Holland as a penniless refugee in 1992 after sneaking across the German border to escape a forced marriage to a Somali kinsman. She did not speak a word of Dutch. Finding jobs as a cleaner, she went on to study political science at Leiden University.

Her ambition now is nothing less than a reformation of Islam.
