MP in asylum row to move to US

AYAAN Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born Dutch politician known for her
outspoken criticism of Islam, will leave parliament and move to the US
after admitting she lied to win asylum in the Netherlands.
Ms Hirsi Ali, 36, sought asylum in the Netherlands in 1992, claiming
to be escaping from an arranged marriage. She gained Dutch citizenship
in 1997 and was elected to parliament in 2003.
A storm erupted about her asylum application last week after a Dutch
television documentary interviewed members of her family about her
background. They said she had not been forced into an arranged
marriage and had had nothing to fear.
Asked whether she had falsified her asylum application, Ms Hirsi Ali
told the program she lied about her name, age and how she came to the
Netherlands.
The program prompted calls for her to leave parliament and even be
stripped of citizenship.
The MP came to international prominence in 2004 when an Islamic
militant killed filmmaker Theo van Gogh after he directed a film she
wrote accusing Islam of suppressing women.
Ms Hirsi Ali's office declined to comment on reports in the Dutch
media today that she was leaving, but said she planned to address a
news conference tomorrow.
"I think it is a painful loss both for Dutch society and for politics
that Ayaan leaves parliament," said Jozias van Aartsen, a former
parliamentary leader of the VVD liberals, which is Ms Hirsi Ali's
party and part of the centre-right government.
"I think it says something about the state of the country: overly
sensitive and provincial," Mr Van Aartsen told Dutch radio.
The Volkskrant newspaper said Ms Hirsi Ali would start working for the
conservative American Enterprise Institute in September after reaching
a deal with US authorities about her security.
The paper said Ms Hirsi Ali had also been in negotiations with two
other institutes, the Johns Hopkins University and the Brookings
Institution, over the past months.
Dutch Radio 1 said the move had been planned for some time, but was
brought forward because Ms Hirsi Ali has to leave her heavily-guarded
home in August after a court ruled she must move because neighbours
had complained of the security risk.
Ms Hirsi Ali went into hiding after Van Gogh's killing due to death
threats and only returned to parliament months later.
Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk, vying to be the VVD's lead
candidate in the 2007 general election, said on Sunday she would
launch an investigation into Ms Hirsi Ali's citizenship.
Ms Hirsi Ali, whose real name is Hirsi Magan, pretended she had come
to the Netherlands from Somalia, rather than via Kenya and Germany.
Refugees are usually required to apply for asylum in the first safe
country they reach after fleeing.
Immigration has been a hot topic since 2002 when populist Pim Fortuyn
said the country could not absorb more foreigners. He was killed by an
animal rights activist later that year but mainstream politicians have
since taken up his ideas.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all." [Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
