Ayaan Hirsi Ali has stood up to Muslim extremists and spoken out against their treatment of women. She is an elected member of the Dutch parliament. But now she is a woman without a home, driven from her home by neighbours who feared that Muslim terrorists might attack her and hurt them in the process. Christopher Hitchens has her story in Slate. I highly recommend that you read his piece. Here's a very brief portion.
After being forced into hiding by fascist killers, Ayaan Hirsi Ali found that the Dutch government and people were slightly embarrassed to have such a prominent "Third World" spokeswoman in their midst. She was first kept as a virtual prisoner, which made it almost impossible for her to do her job as an elected representative. When she complained in the press, she was eventually found an apartment in a protected building. Then the other residents of the block filed suit and complained that her presence exposed them to risk. In spite of testimony from the Dutch police, who assured the court that the building was now one of the safest in all Holland, a court has upheld the demand from her neighbors and fellow citizens that she be evicted from her home. In these circumstances, she is considering resigning from parliament and perhaps leaving her adopted country altogether. This is not the only example that I know of a supposedly liberal society collaborating in its own destruction, but I hope at least that it will shame us all into making The Caged Virgin a best seller.
