"You must learn what to fear and what not to fear," Ayaan Hirsi Ali's grandmother told her when she was a girl in Somalia. In 1992 Ali fled her sequestered life and arranged marriage and emigrated to Holland, eventually becoming a member of Parliament. Today she is the target of Muslim extremists for her reformist views on women's rights and for her radical film, Submission.
