Dutch government unwilling to pay the protection of Hirsi Ali in the US

The Dutch government will most likely make the decision to no longer pay the costs of her protection in the United States. That means the Dutch former politician will be obligated to pay here own security abroad. Ayaan has already stated that she is willing to pay for her own security, but that she needs more time to engage in fundraising. The minister said in a response that he has given Hirsi Ali sufficient time: "much time, attention and patience has been invested. (…) at a certain moment it stops.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a prominent and controversial author, film maker, and critic of Islam. She was a member of the Tweede Kamer (the Lower House of the States-General of the Netherlands) for the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) from January 30, 2003 until May 16, 2006. A political crisis surrounding the potential stripping of her Dutch citizenship led to her resignation from the parliament, and indirectly to the fall of the second Balkenende cabinet.
She has received numerous awards for her human rights work, and in 2005, was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. She is currently a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.

Going into hiding:
Hirsi Ali wrote the script and provided the voice-over for Submission, a film directed by Theo van Gogh, which criticized the treatment of women in Islamic society. Juxtaposed with passages from the Qur'an were images of Muslim women who had been abused by men. One woman was provocatively dressed in a semi-transparent burqa, under which texts from the Qur'an were projected on her skin. The texts referred to the subordinate role of women. Other women in the film showed signs of physical abuse.
Here is a fragment of the movie. Although it has Dutch subtitles, it’s for the most part spoken in English:

The film's release sparked much controversy, which became violent when radical Islamist Mohammed Bouyeri, a member of the Hofstad Group, murdered Van Gogh in an Amsterdam street on November 2, 2004. A letter pinned to Van Gogh's body with a knife was primarily a death threat to Hirsi Ali. After this incident, the Dutch secret service raised the level of security that they provided to her. Hirsi Ali has said that although she deeply regrets the murder of van Gogh, she is proud of the film and does not regret having made it. "To feel otherwise would be to deny everything I stand for."
