Yes, that's true -- sort of. She is no longer a Muslim even though that was her background. If someone who has been treated as a citizen and is a member of the Dutch parliament can't be considered Dutch then who can? The Dutch in my opinion behaved shamefully toward Hirsi Ali by removing her citizenship on a technicality. She was a thorn in the administrations side. What a good way to get rid of a thorn. Well, there loss is our gain.

And she only 'emigrated' when she knew that she was going to be thrown out of the country anyway. O.K.
