Good news: Dutch PM tells Hirsi Ali to take a hike

LGF has it. If it’s true, and I’m skeptical that it is, then she’s in limbo. She can’t afford security of her own but the Dutch government won’t provide security unless she’s in the country, which, apparently, the prime minister doesn’t want her to be. Which in turn, momentarily, makes her a dead woman walking.
It’s really high time for someone to start a nonprofit to pay for security for people like her and Rushdie. It wouldn’t have to be limited to critics of Islam, although there aren’t many other people or ideologies these days willing to repay criticism with capital punishment.
Come to think of it, anti-Putin activists would probably qualify.

That’s actually not a bad idea, I hope some people with organizational skills and contacts or money can put together a charitable group to provide security for people like AHA or Rushdie or other people that speak out against psychotic terrorists or despots.

There’s no reason why the AEI can’t pay for her security. They hired her knowing there were death threats against her, they should protect her. No, not every employee of every company should have their own personal security. But sometimes there are special cases, and this is one of those times.

How can a government tell one of its citizens to leave the country because she is not safe there. What does this say about that country? Nothing good I’m afraid. I believe it though, since if you read Infidel, you know they already shipped her out of the country before for “security”.
Resolute on October 5, 2007 at 7:32 PM
You know you’re not wanted when the leader of your country says so. I guess the crimes she has committed and the shame she has brought upon the Dutch is too great…
deesine on October 5, 2007 at 7:40 PM
Great idea. Make it so.
Spirit of 1776 on October 5, 2007 at 7:44 PM
The condo next to mine is for sale. If she wants to buy it, I’ll give her my .357 mag revolver and watch her door with my .30-30 levergun.
RedWinged Blackbird on October 5, 2007 at 7:47 PM
I would certainly contribute…But for my contributions, can I meet her??
I sure hope that was sarcasm deesine… ‘Cos if it isn’t..thems fighting words.

Who is scarier now – The Putin-ists or the Islamists?
Number 2 on October 5, 2007 at 7:49 PM
As well as ex-Clinton aids that know too much. Just my opinion.
Maxx on October 5, 2007 at 7:49 PM
If the Dutch abandon her maybe she can apply for asylum here.
Speakup on October 5, 2007 at 7:51 PM
When some freakin’ islamonazi kills her, we’ll say “Somebody should have prevented this.”
The world will be a much lesser place.
God protect her.
Tony737 on October 5, 2007 at 7:53 PM
I thought the article I first read on HA said she left here because the US told her it wouldn’t protect her.
peacenprosperity on October 5, 2007 at 7:55 PM
Bad Candy,
If Mrs. Ali were a Christian, I myself (having experience developing major donors for Christian organizations) could probably find the people who would pay for her security.
Unfortunately, and I don’t intend this as a barb, atheists tend not to donate nearly as much to their cause as do religionists. Also a double whammy: many atheists in America seem to be giving Islam a free-pass.
tickleddragon,
I was hoping the ellipses would cover as the sarc tag. Oops.
deesine on October 5, 2007 at 7:56 PM
The funds already exist in extraordinary amounts. Simply revoke all foreign aid to Muslim countries.
Write your House and Senate Folsom Street slaves and demand that they do it.
T J Green on October 5, 2007 at 7:57 PM
psst…Blackwater….
ScottG on October 5, 2007 at 8:01 PM
Media Matters is reporting that Allahpundit is happy that Hirshi Ali will soon be a dead woman.
Kevin M on October 5, 2007 at 8:07 PM
I really don’t understand why she left the U.S. There are literally thousands of high-rise apartment/condo buildings here that are more secure than any building in Eurabia. Hell, there are Muslim neighborhoods here that are more secure than Eurabia.
RedWinged Blackbird on October 5, 2007 at 8:07 PM
Ayaan Hirshi Ali,is by far the bravest woman on the planet.
No secruity,no country,if anything happens,it will be the same MO,so and so administration failed women.
I suggested before,especially since the media has a new kick
bag,but it would be great to have ex-Navy Seals from BlackWater to do this,in the United States,of course.

Where is CAIR?
Wade on October 5, 2007 at 8:10 PM
Where are the femanazi?
Wade on October 5, 2007 at 8:12 PM
Where are the femanazi?
Wade on October 5,2007 at 8:12PM.
Excellent point Wade,But just as Don Imuz wasn’t
a gung-ho (no pun intended)Liberal,I don’t think
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a Liberal,if she was a Liberal
NAG might come to her rescue,but since she is a muslim,
NAG wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole.
canopfor on October 5, 2007 at 8:23 PM
She should get a place out here in Puna on the Island of Hawaii. This island still doesn’t contain a single mosque. She can pretend to be a dope grower, get some guns and half a dozen rottwielers and a big wheel four-by and DSL. Nobody will mess with her out here.
Kalapana on October 5, 2007 at 8:34 PM
Great question Wade. You’d think that if NOW really cared about women, they’d be the first in line to help the bravest among their gender. Ah, but this one speaks out against their most ironic ally.
Tammy Bruce tells us what NOW thinks about BLACK women in her great book “The New American Revolution”.
Tony737 on October 5, 2007 at 8:39 PM
She doesn’t need to pay for security. Give me a few days and I could find at least a dozen good ol’ boys who would stand in line for a chance to plug a jihadi.
RedWinged Blackbird on October 5, 2007 at 8:56 PM
The US government already supplies security for Rushdie and Steve Emerson. They won’t give it to her because her true understanding of Islam cuts too close to the bone.
aengus on October 5, 2007 at 9:52 PM
I don’t think that this is fair at all. There is a Catholic/liberal Christian/Unitarian/liberal atheist block that gives Islam and illegal immigration a free pass in the name of “social justice”. However, many atheists like myself see “social justice” for the BS that it is. My atheism is far closer to conservative Christianity (though not fundamentalist Christianity) than it is to any Church of Christ (Obama’s denomination).
thuja on October 5, 2007 at 9:53 PM
Here’s an article that sums up the absurdity of the situation.
aengus on October 5, 2007 at 9:58 PM
Amen.
infidel4life on October 5, 2007 at 10:21 PM
George Santayana was correct. . .
The country that once tried to save Anne Frank eventually sold her out too, so this prime minister is in familiar territory . . .to his everlasting shame.
Everything that can be done, must be done, to bring Aayan Hirsi Ali safely back to the United States.
It is apparent the Dutch prefer to cheerfully continue and perhaps increase their penance in the form of Politically Correct jizya handouts that encourage the ever increasing demographic jihad – and the related intentional refusal to assimilate – a self inflicted wound/eventual suicide.
Aayan, at this time, it is imperative that you are aware that you are very much appreciated and you are not only welcome here in the USA, but directly in my home with my family. I will not stand down in fear of this enemy. You have taught me and legions more how important that is.
I speak for myself, and I’m certain there are many other red blooded Americans who look forward to someday soon saying “Welcome home, Aayan Hirsi Ali”.
heroyalwhyness on October 5, 2007 at 10:36 PM
Let’s take her in as a refugee from Euro-wussiness, and get her citizenship as quickly as possible, even if it takes a special Act of Congress. She already understands liberty better than all the Americans who voted for that Swiss Boarding School guy.
Splunge on October 5, 2007 at 10:49 PM
I will donate and I hope she is packing some heat.
TheSitRep on October 5, 2007 at 10:49 PM
Which agency (or angencies as the case may be.)
’cause I only have to say a two letter response.
It aint DSS and it aint the Secret Service because neither is a diplomat, former governmnt official or a relative of such. Nor is either one a relative of a diplomat or govenment official of any other country.
opusrex on October 6, 2007 at 12:00 AM
The feds have a number of “compassion grounds” citizenships they can hand out … give her one.
If she moves out to ANY red state, and some islamicists asks around for her, it will be a race between the police trying to capture the twit, and her neighbors just shooting the fool down.
We do things a little differently out here.
Kristopher on October 6, 2007 at 12:48 AM
nextdoor?
She can stay here. Plenty of room in the bachelor pad. I’ll even let her redecorate. And the team will protect her: Smith, Wesson, and me (actually Colt .45, Wilson Combat .45, and me–booyah!).
urbancenturion on October 6, 2007 at 4:17 AM
Why dont we stop speculating and cajoling and do something for her before its too late.

While statistics do show that Christians give more to charity than atheists, why wouldn’t Christians take up Hirsi Ali’s cause?
By the way, I understood that your 7:40 comment was sarcastic. I had better watch my own comments in the future if yours was misunderstood.

Buy Danish,
I’m sure there are some who would (

Buy Danish,
I’m sure there are some who would (less than 1-2 percent of regular Christian donators), regardless of her generally anti-religious stance (she’s made some very direct and blunt criticisms of religion). The campaign aimed at Christians would be very hot: with many established Christian organizations coming out against it. Really, there’s not much precedent here that I’m aware of, in terms of the vast majority of Protestant fundraising campaigns.
*Sry for the repost, I guess the parcer didn’t like the percent sign.
deesine on October 7, 2007 at 1:29 AM
Are you talking about Richard Dawkins and his campaign of ridicule? I know that Hirsi Ali is an atheist now, but I’m not aware that she is waging a campaign against Christians or Christiantiy. It seems to me that those are two entirely different things.
Or am I mistaken about Ali?
