Islamists Versus Women

For those of you who believe that “Islam is a religion of peace,” I suggest you read the following about the AHA Foundation:

In response to ongoing abuses of women's rights in the name of fundamentalist Islam, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and her supporters established the AHA Foundation in 2007 as a charitable organization to help protect and defend the rights of women in the West against militant Islam.

Through research, the dissemination of knowledge and outreach, the Foundation aims to combat several types of crimes against women, including the abridgement of the education of girls, female genital mutilation, forced marriages, honor violence, and honor killings.

The Foundation originally focused its efforts on supporting Muslim dissidents who had been victims of violence, abuse or neglect, or who had been threatened with violence, because of their political or religious beliefs.
