She Needs Us, But the World Needs Her

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is now in negotiations with the State Department to become an American citizen.

The Netherlands is losing her because, officially, she lied on a visa application. Unofficially, her tough stances against Islamism has not won her a lot of support in her home country, where she is viewed as an agitator, with her harsh rhetoric and short films. Well, an agitator is what Islam needs, and if the Euros can't or won't protect her from the fatwas and her voice isn't welcome, there is, as there has been for the past 230 years, another place she can go.
