HeathenDan | May 17, 2009 |  Autobiographical in nature, the book explores her childhood in Somalia, Saudi Arabia, and Kenya and young adulthood in Africa. Ayaan Hirsi Ali immigrated to the Netherlands in 1992 as a refugee to escape a forced marriage to a distant cousin she had never met. After earning her college degree in political science, she was elected to Parlament where she worked to raise awareness of the plight of Muslim women in Europe. zoranaercegovac | Mar 13, 2009 | I denne boka har somaliske Ayaan Hirsi Ali samlet en rekke artikler og foredrag, hvor hun tar et oppgjør med islam og i særdeleshet kvinnesynet. Ali er kjent for sitt samarbeid med Theo van Gogh om filmen"Submission". Van Gogh ble drept i 2004, og Ali står nå på dødslisten blant islamister. Selv flyktet hun i sin tid fra et tvangsekteskap og er i dag politiker i Nederland. Jeg opplevde denne boka som veldig sterk og lærerik, spesielt når hun trekker frem enkeltskjebner, konsekvensene av tvangsgifte, kjønnslemlestelse og vold foretatt med henvisning til Koranen. Ali kunne nok ha tjent saken sin bedre dersom hun ikke hadde vært fullt så rasende. Jeg tror imidlertid at de fleste vil skjønne at hun ikke overdriver når hun forteller om diverse kvinneskjebner hun kom i kontakt med i sitt arbeid som tolk for kvinnelige asylanter. Det som gjør budskapet ekstra sterkt er at hun selv er (eller riktigere: har vært) muslim og kjenner systemet innenfra. Hun etterlyser en opplysningstid innen islam, på lik linje med den som har forekommet i kristendommen og jødedommen. En opplysningstid preget av selvransakelse, modernisering av islam og tilpasning til den tiden vi lever i, hvor det er rom for å stille kritiske spørsmål og ikke minst rom for humor på egen religions bekostning. Først når religionen er gjort til et forhold mellom den enkelte og vedkommendes samvittighet (i forhold til gud), vil den muslimske verden bevege seg fremover ... hevder Ali. Dette er en modig og viktig bok! Prisen forfatteren selv betaler ved å stå frem, er at hun må leve under streng bevoktning for ikke å risikere å bli drept av "sine egne". (  ) Rose-Marie | Sep 5, 2008 | Ali presents a controversial perspective for women to critique their status and future as women of Islam.

Born in Somalia and raised Muslim, but outraged by her religion's hostility toward women, Hirsi Ali escaped an arranged marriage to a distant relative and fled to the Netherlands. There, she learned Dutch, worked as an interpreter in abortion clinics and shelters for battered women, earned a college degree, and started a career in politics as a Dutch parliamentarian. In November 2004, the violent murder on an Amsterdam street of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, with whom Hirsi Ali had written a film about women and Islam called Submission, changed her life. Threatened by the same group that slew van Gogh, Hirsi Ali now has round-the-clock protection, but has not allowed these circumstances to compromise her fierce criticism of the treatment of Muslim women, of Islamic governments' attempts to silence any questioning of their traditions, and of Western governments' blind tolerance of practices such as genital mutilation and forced marriages of female minors occurring in their countries.
Hirsi Ali relates her experiences as a Muslim woman so that oppressed Muslim women can take heart and seek their own liberation. Drawing on her love of reason and the Enlightenment philosophers on whose principles democracy was founded, she presents her firsthand knowledge of the Islamic worldview and advises Westerners how best to address the great divide that currently exists between the West and Islamic nations and between Muslim immigrants and their adopted countries.
An international bestseller -- with updated information for American readers and two new essays added for this edition -- The Caged Virgin is a compelling, courageous, eye-opening work.

She points out that Islam has a “cult of virginity” and that Mohammedan males are ever vigilant to protect the hymen of their female relatives, often through intimidation and violence against the women themselves.
She then offers suggestions on how this endless cycle of violence against women can be stopped or minimized in immigrant Mohammedan communities: 1) Promoting an Islamic Enlightenment, Read more (
