(Reuters) THE HAGUE, May 16, 2006 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) – Controversial Dutch parliamentarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali, infamous for her odious attacks on Islam, will leave the Netherlands for the US after admitting she lied to win asylum back in 1992, a Dutch daily reported Monday, May 15. Hirsi Ali, of Somali origin, is expected to take up a job with the Washington-based right-wing think tank the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), De Volkskrant said on its online edition. "Ayaan Hirsi Ali will take up her post on September 1 with the AEI, a conservative pressure group in the United States," Agence France-Presse (AFP) quoted the paper as saying. Hirsi Ali had reached a deal with the US authorities about her safety, according to the paper. Many members of the AEI, founded in 1943, serve or have served in US President George W. Bush's administration. The paper said Hirsi Ali had also been in negotiations with two other institutes, the Johns Hopkins University and the Brookings Institution, over the past months. Hirsi Ali was born in 1969 in Somalia and defines herself as a "dissident of Islam," who criticizes Islam's stance on homosexuals, apostates and adulterers as well as what she claims women's oppression under the Muslim faith. She has gained notoriety in the Muslim world for her two-part documentary "Submission," which was dubbed by the Muslim minority as "extremely insulting." The documentaries are about what the MP says Islam's oppression of women and homosexuality in Islam. The documentary infuriated the one million Muslims in the European country and led to the November 2004 killing of its director Theo Van Gogh by a Dutch man of Moroccan origin. The killing, however, was strongly condemned the vast majority of the minority. Liar Verdonk said that Hirsi Ali's naturalization had likely been invalid. Hirsi Ali, who was elected as a Member of Parliament for the right-wing liberal VVD party in 1993, is currently the focus of a scandal centering on her application for asylum in 1992 when she lied and misled Dutch authorities. She confessed to the VVD when she joined it that she had lied in order to win refugee status. But it emerged in a television program last week that she had not revealed the full extent of the lies. The program interviewed members of her family about her background, who said that she had not been forced into an arranged marriage and had had nothing to fear as she alleged to win the asylum status. Asked whether she had falsified her asylum application, Hirsi Ali told the program she lied about her name, age and how she came to the Netherlands, prompting calls for her to leave parliament. Hirsi Ali, whose real name is Hirsi Magan, had also pretended she had come to the Netherlands from Somalia, rather than from Kenya via Germany. Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk said on Monday that Hirsi Ali's naturalization had likely been invalid. "I have told the person concerned by letter that based on this program and the facts as they are known, the preliminary assumption must be that she is considered not to have obtained Dutch citizenship," Verdonk said in a written reply to questions from a member of parliament.
