the unbeliever; An outspoken critic of Islam, Ayaan Hirsi Ali lives in fear for her life-and refuses to be silenced.
Byline: Rebecca Johnson
After I'd met Ayaan Hirsi Ali, former Dutch parliamentarian, author of the forthcoming autobiography Infidel, and a woman who would be dead if certain Muslim extremists were to have their way, Ali slipped off her high-heeled shoes and tucked her naked feet under her thighs. I tried not to stare at her perfectly painted toes, but the gesture was so unlike anything I had ever seen a politician do, much less one who used to cover herself daily from head to toe in a black hijab, I leaned forward to get a closer look at the well-worn inside of the shoe.
