Lots about her on the web, including: >>>>Hirsi Ali wrote the script for Submission,[5] a short film directed by Theo van Gogh, which criticized the treatment of women in Islamic society. One woman was provocatively dressed in a semi-transparent burqa, under which texts from the Qur'an were projected on her skin. The texts referred to the alleged subordinate role of women. Other women in the film showed signs of physical abuse. In addition to writing the script, Hirsi Ali provided the voice-over. The film's release sparked much controversy, and led to a violent reaction when radical Islamist Mohammed Bouyeri, a member of the Hofstad Group, shot and stabbed Van Gogh in an Amsterdam street on November 2, 2004. A letter pinned to Van Gogh's body with a knife was primarily a death threat to Hirsi Ali. After this incident, the Dutch secret service raised the level of security of Hirsi Ali.[6] <<<<<
And::::::
Her criticism of the Islamic prophet Muhammad mainly concerns his moral stature. In January 2003 she told the Dutch paper Trouw, "Muhammad is, seen by our Western standards, a pervert". She referred particularly to the marriage between Muhammad, who was 52 years old, and Aisha, who was nine years old, according to the collections of hadith.[30] She also has stated her opinions on the personality of the prophet Muhammad. In the Dutch newspaper Trouw, Hirsi Ali was interviewed on the Ten Commandments. In the second paragraph, when asked about Muhammad,[31] she answered, "Measured by our western standards, Muhammad is a perverted man. A tyrant. He is against freedom of expression. If you don't do as he says, you will be punished. It makes me think of all those megalomaniacs in the Middle East: Bin Laden, Khomeini, Saddam. Do you think it strange that there is a Saddam Hussein? Muhammad is his example. Muhammad is an example for all Muslim men. Do you think it strange that so many Muslim men are violent?"
She is a remarkably brave woman....It is no wonder that Colmes felt threatened....
