She got Asylum in the Netherlands (1992)by falsely claiming that she was being forced into a marriage in Somalia. (Her family was middle class and lived in Kenya). She was able to get Asylum because she said she was fleeing directly from Somalia. She rode her story to Dutch Parliment in 2003. She was outed in 2006. She fled to the United States where she took up a post at the AEI (The American Enterprise Institue, YES THE SAME NEO CONSERVATIVE think tank that paid Murray to write the Bell Curve. I couldn’t make this shit up if I tried, and I have an active imagination.)
TIL thanks u/bloodsvscrips
This part has drama written all over it (lots of edits to the wikipedia page so fair warning it’s contentious). link
Wikipedia has this book listed as the source for the comments about her family life being amicable. It’s written by a Harvard professor.
She admitted to lieing about her name, date of birth, and the way in which she got to the neatherlands but denies other accusations. She resigned from Dutch Parliment shortly before it began proceedings to remove her.
Former Vice President AL Gore wrote a letter on her behalf when an honorary diploma from Brandeis University was rescinded for some of her previous speech. He defended her right to condemn Islam Wholesale.
My Hot take: Islam is shit... we all know that. There is a good chance that she lied to attain fame in the wake of 9/11.
Edit: The video shows her Muslim school and her brothers Christian school that they went to. That puts serious doubt on the family being radical. That appears to be a fact. Zembla the TV series looks legit.
