AyaanHirsAli Update

To me (as a legal alien in the Netherlands) this seems to be sort of typical Dutch bureaucracy. If there are some rules in place, one follows these rules no matter what. /TGN

Even Nicolo Macchiavelli would have been astonished by the speed and callousness with which the exercise was executed. (Minister Zalm had similar words). The VVD knew that Ayaan lied. It suited them at the time not to do anything. The current drama is pure political opportunism.

QuoteHer first name, Ayaan, means "lucky person" or "luck" in the Somali language. Looks like whoever named her, was speaking a bit prematurely.

This will allow her to take up her new job in USA.

QuoteOriginally posted by: CuchulainnAyaanHirsAli UpdateSahl b. Sa'd al-Sa'idi (Allah be pleased with him) reported: A woman came to Allah's Messenger. (may peace be upon him) and said: Messerbger of Allah, I have come to you to entrust myself to you (you may contract my marriage with anyone at your discretion). Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) saw her and cast a glance at her from head to foot. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) then lowered his head. When the woman saw that he had made no decision in regard to her, she sat down. There stood up a person from amongst his companions and said: Messenger of Allah, marry her to me if you have no need of her. He (the Holy Prophet) said: is there anything with you (which you con give as a dower)? He said: No, Messenger of Allah, by Allah I have nothing. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Go to your people (family) and see if you can find something. He returned and said: I have found nothing. The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: See even if it is an Iron ring. He went and returned and said: No, by God, not even an iron ring, but only this lower garment of mine (Sahl said that he had no upper garment), half of which (I am prepared to part with) for her. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: How can your lower garment serve your purpose, for it you wear it, she would not be able to make any use of it and if she wears it there would not be anything on you? The man sat down and as the sitting prolonged he stood up (in disappointment) and as he was going back Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) commanded (him) to be called back, and as he came, he said to him: Do you know any part of the Qur'an? He said: I know such and such surahs (and he counted them). whereupon he said: Can you recite them from heart (from your memory)? He said: Yes, whereupon he (Allah's Messenger) said: Go, I have given her to you in marriage for the part of the Qur'an which you knowThis is what was supposed to be the fate of Ayaan!!!

It's time to learn.

Time to move to Luxembourg, or even Belgium.
