Christian and Atheist join forces to keep Ayaan alive :)

It’s a matter of life and death to Ali, who has needed protection since Theo van Gogh—her collaborator on a documentary about the repression of women under Islam—was murdered in 2004. Reached in Paris last week, Ali said she was “deeply grateful” to Harris and others who have come to her defense. (The cost of her protection is secret, but it’s believed to exceed $2 million a year.) She’s working on a new book, “Shortcut to Enlightenment,” in which the Prophet Muhammad comes back to tour New York City and debate modern (although dead) philosophers John Stuart Mill and Friedrich von Hayek—not a subject likely to calm Islamist anger. She awaits the day, she says, “when there are no longer people who believe they can get to heaven by killing me"—or when her dissent from Islam has gathered enough adherents “that it won’t pay to kill one or two of us.” Until then, says Harris, those who believe in freedom of thought have an obligation to try to keep her alive.

Frequently asked Questions about the Ayaan Hirsi Ali Trust Fund

Two million dollars per year might seem like an outrageous sum to spend so that one woman can safely stand at a university lectern and speak about the power of reason and the rights of little girls—and it is an outrageous sum and an outrageous circumstance. Whether covered by public funds (as it would be if the U.S. granted Ms. Hirsi Ali diplomatic protection) or by private donations, the expense of protecting Ayaan Hirsi Ali is not a luxury. It is a cost imposed upon our society by religious lunatics and their apologists. It is, of course, galling that a mere advocate of human rights and basic rationality should require special protection in the United States. But this is simply a fact of life in a world where freedom of speech and conscience falls ever more under the shadow of Muslim fanaticism. In my opinion, there is no one making a more heroic effort to change this fact than Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

URGENT APPEAL: Please Help Protect Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Thank you for your interest in helping Ayaan Hirsi Ali. If you would like more information about her, you can find it here.

All contributions made below go directly to the Ayaan Hirsi Ali Security Trust. This private trust is dedicated to financing Ms. Hirsi Ali’s security and can accept donations both from within the United States and internationally. In the unlikely event that money remains after the costs of her security have been met, it will be used to encourage and protect other dissidents in the Muslim world.

While one-time donations will be deeply appreciated, please consider setting up a monthly subscription on your credit card. A monthly subscription can allow anyone to make a meaningful contribution toward Ms. Hirsi Ali's security without incurring great expense up front.

URGENT APPEAL

clipper's remarks: Please take the time to read this and consider her bravery. It is a chance to really support freedom in a tangible way.

Thank you.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is the world’s most visible critic of Islam and surely the most courageous champion of women’s rights now living in the United States. In 2005, TIME included her in its list of the World’s 100 Most Influential People. For the crime of speaking honestly about the bigotry and intolerance that still thrives in the Muslim world, Ayaan must live under perpetual armed guard, even in the West.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Theo Van Gogh made this film and one of them already died for it.

clipper's remarks: This was my first time really taking this story in.....the bravery of Theo Van Gogh in agreeing to make this film (and keep his name on it )has caused me much to reflect on this day.

Almost 3 years since he was murdered......and Ayaan Hirsi Ali is still being hounded.

Sam Harris and Salman Rushdie are so right: Tolerance of Intolerance is cowardice.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: abandoned to fanatics

Hirsi Ali may be the first refugee from Western Europe since the Holocaust. As such, she is a unique and indispensable witness to both the strength and weakness of the West: to the splendor of open society and to the boundless energy of its antagonists. She knows the challenges we face in our struggle to contain the misogyny and religious fanaticism of the Muslim world, and she lives with the consequences of our failure each day. There is no one in a better position to remind us that tolerance of intolerance is cowardice.

Op/ED by Sam Harris and Salman Rushdie

As you read this, Ayaan Hirsi Ali sits in a safe house with armed men guarding her door. She is one of the most poised, intelligent and compassionate advocates of freedom of speech and conscience alive today, and for this she is despised in Muslim communities throughout the world. The details of her story bear repeating, as they illustrate how poorly equipped we are to deal with the threat of Muslim extremism in the West.
