Synopsis
Born in Somalia into a fundamentalist Islamic clan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali suffered under the misogynistic culture: she was beaten, forced to cover her hair at all times, and genitally mutilated by her grandmother. When her father, a revolutionary leader, arranged her marriage, Ali refused, and was disowned. She eventually fled to the Netherlands, where she managed to find asylum. There she became an advocate for Muslim women's rights, a member of the Dutch parliament, and, after 9/11, an atheist. For Ali, the Koran and the teachings of Muhammad are directly to blame for the mistreatment of women and for the Islamic culture of violence. This violence had a direct impact on Ali's life when the filmmaker Theo van Gogh was shot and stabbed to death in 2004 after directing a short film written by Ali about the abuse of women in Islam. Now living under armed guard in America, where she works for a conservative think tank (though she considers herself a staunch liberal), Ali has written her fascinating and controversial memoir, INFIDEL. The traumas of her childhood are vividly depicted, and her climb from political refugee to political leader is inspiring. Ali carefully delineates the incremental shifts in her beliefs and values to show how she has become the inflammatory and courageous woman she is today. Her critics accuse her of being as inflexible and intolerant in her views as the fundamentalists she attacks, but even those who resist Ali's claims should be intrigued by her life story.
