2007-03-27 Home Front: WoT

AMSTERDAM Former MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali is now in danger in the US as well. Her security has been stepped up for the past three weeks. Because of concrete threats, she is now receiving the same level of protection as she previously needed in the Netherlands, the Volkskrant reports.

Hirsi Ali had more freedom of movement when she first arrived in the US last September. Her lack of freedom in the Netherlands was one of the reasons for her move.

The forced isolation made it impossible for her to continue in her position as MP at the time, she said. The Liberal VVD politician had to travel by armoured car in the Netherlands, accompanied by six bodyguards. In the US just two security workers, who kept an eye on her from a distance, sufficed.

Hirsi Ali's protection is carried out by American security personnel commissioned by the Dutch Justice department. Hirsi Ali works at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington DC, a think-tank that has close ties with the Republican party.

As in the Netherlands, the threats against her come from Muslim extremists. They are in connection with the lectures and media appearances Hirsi Ali has been making since the publication of the American version of her autobiography, "The Infidel," in January.

The book has sold 148,000 copies over the past two months and led to heated debate in the US.

Besides glowing reviews in The New York Times and other media, Hirsi Ali is also coming up against opposition because of her uncompromising criticism of Islam.

#1 If America had any brains, they would realize just how valuable an ally Ms. Ali is and publicly fund around-the-clock protection for her. Anyone who threatens her needs to be scrutinized for terrorist connections and charged appropriately. Those that seek to squelch free speech are some of our greatest foes in the battle to expose Islam for the shitpot it is.

It said in the article they were muslims. What more do you need to judge they're terrorists?

#3 This could be an excellent opportunity to nab some murderous fanatics in the US. Pure "entrapment", as it were.

First, advertise her giving some kind of public speech in which people can get close to her, but not close enough to use a knife. Just coincidentally on the grounds of a public school.

Federal law for possession of a handgun on school grounds is five years.

Plenty of publicity in Moslem areas, then have concealed metal detectors. When they find a gun, then whisk the bad boy away and wait for the next killer.

She gives her speech, or whatever, and you get one or more potential assassins who get to spend the next five years in a federal penitentiary. Not for doing their jihad thing, but for "menacing school children".
