Ayan Hirsi Ali has built her political career calling for immigration to be stopped. She believes that radical Islam is now a threat to Dutch society: “It’s not responsible for the government to invite more people in from outside.” However, unlike other right-wing politicians, she is a Muslim Somali refugee who has escaped from a forced marriage.
