English > In-depth > Amsterdam Forum Campaigner kicked out? Transmission date: 21 May 2006Andy Clark 19-05-2006 Editorial A victory for intolerance The New York Times FRIDAY, MAY 19, 2006 Immigration is a political mess in America, but it's reasonably tractable compared with the problem in the Netherlands, which has seen its liberal values turned inside out by tensions between Muslim immigrants and the Dutch. The question, broadly speaking, is whether multiculturalism is possible in such a small, ethnically homogeneous nation, or whether the government will keep insisting on assimilation. There have been flash points along the way, chief among them the 2004 murder of the filmmaker Theo van Gogh by a Muslim extremist. Now there's a new one: the resignation of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who was born in Somalia, from Parliament. When she sought refuge in the Netherlands in 1992, she gave a false birth date and a false name. She has said so publicly several times. She has explained that she was trying to escape the marriage her family had arranged for her. After a brief investigation, the Dutch immigration minister, Rita Verdonk, who is a member of the same party, insisted on the letter of the law and initially declared that Hirsi Ali's citizenship was never valid. Under pressure, Verdonk has agreed to reconsider. But the real point, of course, is that Hirsi Ali has become too potent a social critic to be tolerated any longer. In her resignation speech, she said, "I wanted to put the oppression of immigrant women - especially Muslim women - squarely on the Dutch political agenda." This debacle is the measure of her success. In the script of van Gogh's film, "Submission," and in her speeches and books - including "The Caged Virgin," which has just been published here - Hirsi Ali has been an unflinching advocate of women's rights and an unflinching critic of Islamic extremism. Her life has been threatened, and she is still in real danger. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, whose real name is Ayaan Hirsi Magan, says she plans to leave the Netherlands for the United States. She should be welcomed under either name. オランダ国会議員アヤーン・ヒルシ・アリの市民権剥奪、議員辞職、国外追放へ
