OK, so who among us has the guts (and free time) to start up, take collections for, and manage a fund for Hirsi Ali’s security?

I’ll do it…the only thing I’d ask is for Allah, HA, Michelle, & JW sites to create a permanent link to the site once I have it up & running. The link can ensure constant access for donating…she’ll need it.

Waiting on your reply, AP.

She has earned it.

Really? If she went through the legal process to become a citizen she would have been granted citizenship. She didn’t earn it by being persecuted by jihadists.

Which prompts the question: Why didn’t they grant her citizenship instead of permanent residency?

Maybe she doesn’t want to become an American?

Why would it matter? As I noted earlier, it is not the duty of the United States Government to provide body guards to anybody outside of government, citizen or no. And if they put her in the Witness Protection Program (which does not require citizenship to be included), she would be effectively muzzled and unable to get her message out.

This is for you…

Just look her up so you don’t look silly next time.

“These Death Threats brought to you by The Religion of Peace Cult of Death.”

BKennedy on October 5, 2007 at 4:40 AM

Fixed it for you. :)

That decision was revoked after Ms. Hirsi Ali received new credible death threats in the United States.

“These Death Threats brought to you by The Religion of Peace.”

Can we make her ambassador to the Netherlands, just for a little irony and to lighten up bad situation?

AZCON on October 4, 2007 at 9:19 PM

Better yet, make her the ambassador to Muslims.

Why didn’t they grant her citizenship instead of permanent residency?

Precisely what I said should happen (in the first thread, yesterday).

On the marriage idea – can’t marry an American as an arranged marriage, not legal (though not clear how to prove the negative). However, even if she’d marry one, and he’d be a citizen, she’d have to wait for 3 years before she’d become one.

Best track w/b for the state dept. to do something not PC to some in the Muslim community and make her a citizen. I don’t have any faith in them any more.

Ali and Hitchens are AP’s little athiest friends, that also happen to share our concerns over the Islamists.

AZCON on October 4, 2007 at 9:26 PM

I can’t believe you put Ali and Hitchens in the same boat. Ali is much more than just an Athiest who shares our concerns over the Islamists. Much more!

?

I don’t think anyone is questioning the legality of it, just pointing out the stupidity of it.

I hate to be the lone voice of dissent here but why would anyone with HotAir be advocating that anyone be granted citizenry when you guys are so dead set against it for illegals?

Please. Are you for real?

Citizenry should be earned.

She has earned it.

Start a petition, with enough sponsors she can become a citizen.

Thanks for not saying “begs the question”.

Yes, I realize she was here legally unlike the illegals but giving away citizenry is still a horribly bad idea in any situation. Not that I think Hirsi Ali would take it for granted from what she’s said but if citizenry can be given away then it makes it meaningless. Citizenry should be earned.

Certainly I think a way should have been found for her to stay here and be protected but there’s a line I don’t think we should cross.

I know that sounds like I am being mean but I am not we need on to support the strong not the weak. Ms. Hirsi Ali has got a sack that would make the vast majority of our own politicians envious.

The two biggest threat to our nation today is A) PC don’t question there patriotism BS and B) Lets win a war but not “offend” anyone.

Mojack, I’D marry her … if I weren’t *already* married. Dammit.

Anybody out there who hasn’t read her book “Infidel” is really missing out. “The Caged Virgin” was ok, but Infidel is a must-read. She’s working on her third book now, sure to cause a rucus, it has her speaking through allah or something like that. I hope all the world’s fire dept’s are prepaired.

Why didn’t they grant her citizenship instead of permanent residency?

She’s here legally they can’t do that.

Ayaan just needs to get herself busted for something like say multiple DUI negligent homicide and the EOIR and Congress will bend over backwards to protect her and keep her here.

allrsn on October 4, 2007 at 10:19 PM

Here are two very good Ayaan Hirsi Ali interviews

My favorite is with Avi Lewis of CBN.

This one is excellent as a bio.

Find out the facts before ranting.

It is part of the duties of the U.S. Secret Service to protect:

Visiting heads of foreign states or governments and their spouses traveling with them ***

That is why Ahmadinejad received Secret Service protection.

Drum on October 4, 2007 at 10:19 PM

I stand corrected Drum. I thought she was with heritage -for some reason, that came to mind. I should have checked my facts (like re-reading the above before I posted!) How dumb of me! You are right of course and A.E.I. makes much more sense too.

It wasn’t that the U.S. government refused to provide security for her, it’s that they’re legally unable to do so for anyone who isn’t a citizen.

Any one ever heard of “political asylem”?

This is just really bad.
