Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Ms. Ali is an MP for the Liberal Party in the Netherlands. She is also an author and the co-producer of the film "Submission".

In her book, de Zoontjesfabriek (Factory of Sons), she criticized traditional Islamic views on the position of women in society.

The film ’Submission’ is about the oppression of women in Islamic cultures. Dutch Muslims found it to be blasphemous and as a result her co-producer Theo Van Gogh was murdered by Mohammed Bouyeri, a radical Islamist.

Ayaan now lives under police protection in a safe house.

In June, Irshad received the Simon Wiesenthal Award of Valor. Most recently, OUT magazine has included Irshad in its list of "top success stories of 2004."
