I recall a couple of other things. Yes, she lied in such a way to make her
initial acceptance into the Netherlands assured, but she reported feeling
desperate at the time. Also, objective observers later, when Hirsi Ali was
taking flack over the lies she put on her application, said every immigrant
lies about something on his or her application. Had Hirsi Ali not achieved
such a prominent and controversial position in the Dutch government, her
citizenship would never have been challenged.

She wrote about this. I had forgotten some of the details, but the fact is she
fled an oppressive situation. She was young and didn't want her family to send
someone after her. She lied to make it difficult to find her. Why would she
want to lie so that people with a history of honor killing couldn't find her?
Beats me.

But then her family said, "oh, no, Hirsi. We would accept you
back. You didn't need to flee." They in effect called her a
liar. Therefore Hirsi Ali was accused of lying
<<<<<<<<<<<<
Incorrect. She is known to have lied about her name and date of
birth
and about the country from which she had fled (Canada, not, as
she said,
Somalia).
