| I already mentioned it in 'books you'd like to see made into a movie', but I'll plug for it here too. 'Infidel' by Ayaan Hirsi Ali is excellent.
It is her life story as a Muslim woman growing up in Somalia. She endured genital mutilation, got out to Kenya barely before the war started and her people were mass-murdered,,,,,in the course of moving around, she learned several languages.
When her father married her (without her permission even required from) to a man she didn't want, she ran away to Holland and lied to get refugee status.
She went from being a volunteer to a member of Dutch Parliament. There, she worked to gain attention to the plight of Muslim women, honor killings and genital mutilation going ignored in a country where that is not legal, in an effort to bend over backwards for multi-cultural ism.
After producing a small play, her co-producer was murdered, and a knife sticking out of his chest held a note to her that she was next.
She currently works for a think-tank in Washington, with a Fatwa still on her head for speaking out against Islam.
"...with like-minded people one cannot discuss. With like-minded people one can only participate in a church service, and you know how I feel about church services." Ayaan Hirsi Ali |
