Niall Ferguson Leaves Wife for Somali Intellectual

[Peacenow]

I had to really laugh when I saw this. Some people are calling this 'Fatwa Sex' since Ali has it imposed it on her.

 

'The woman in question, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, is pretty spectacular. She's smart: A Somali-born, Dutch-educated lawyer and former MP, she's the author of a memoir, Infidel, a fellow at a conservative think tank, and was voted one of Time's most influential people in 2005 (in fact, that is when they met, right)'.

i can tell how intellectual she is.

She is known for being a vocal 'feminist', who is busy in either having affairs with married men or bushing Muslim women( i guess she excluded them of the womanhood.) either ways i smell hypocrisy.

^adiga, do you have a problem with ayan the person, her so called 'intellect' or what she does behind close doors? Did you once imagine to be the man that she will spend her days with? Or is it because ninka waa cadaan and that bit is unsettling? Either way, why does it matter who ay la seexato, not like adiga in lagu weydiiyo qofta aa la seexato? I guess what I'm confused about is why you even bothered to comment??

 

As for me, I have a problem with this part of the praising of ayan's background

 

Dutch-educated lawyer

and former MP

She attended law school? Passed the bar and was a practicing lawyer? Hallelujah

 

Nevermind, maybe its not a big deal to SOmali people not to set the record straight, especially when sweetheart Faroole has a DR. title before his name. Maybe I should give Hirsi a bit of breathing room because a bit of resume booster never hurts even thought she has never been an officer of the court, unless, the writer of the story came across court transcripts of Hirsi translating for her clients infront of the judge and took it to mean that she was a lawyer? After all, she did have a brief gig as a translator, who could blame her if she didn't set the record straight now?

^damn Layzie, why are you so agressive?

[AfricaOwn]

^^ You don't know her. She might have attended law school and passed the bar (the dutch bar). Who are you?

Well, the woman was deported from the country for lying...

 

I have to say she looked pretty good in the blue dress.

 

But I would never call her an "intellectual". She made a name for herself by bashing a religion. Any one of us could write a book degrating our culture and religion. Destroying and criticing is always easy, but creating and building on? Now that takes more.

I love the comments under the article!

 

I think the better question is why is she with him??? I need to understand exactly what she sees in him because I'm perplexed.

@ SpelUmbia , allegedly "with a fatwa, it’s tricky to find guys," so I assume its just that she's dealing with kind of a limited pool.

Sherban Shabeel, you call it 'being aggressive', I, on the other hand, 'call it as I see it'.

 

Owly, when did I say naagtaan waan aqaanaa? Why does it matter if I know her or how I know her?

 

She is a Somali celebrity and who is recognized by her fellow Somali comrades by the mention of her first name, ayan, ayan hirsi? and her narratives are out there in publication and informal settings, only few clicks away.

 

Her life is a public record, not much hidden about her qualifications.

 

We know she has some sort of education, especially at the graduate level but no mention of attending law school much less taking the Bar exam. (why is that a surprise to you?)

 

As far as I'm concerned, the closest brush she had with the court would be her brief stint as an interpretor for the refugee maryooley.

 

Again, whether I know her or I don't know her is irrelevant because I'm not her enemy. I don't wish her harm but the same can't be said about 80% of the general forum regulars. They are ready to line up so they can get a clear shot at her in order to aim the rocks right through her skull.

[Sherban Shabeel]

Well I think she looks like a Somali version of Condoleeza Rice.

[chubacka]

she has a giant tattoo of passages from the Koran on her back..

 

Would love to know what passages and what led to such a strange deed.

 

as for the article,I feel for the wife but Iam sure more than half a dozen million in the divorce courts will soften the blow.

Why is it somali girls named ayan always turn out to be disappointments?

I don't think she has these tattoos on her back. It's just lazy journalism. The people who wrote this article copied it from a recent Daily Mail one. In that one, they had a picture of a model (from the film that Ayan Hirsi made) with tattoos on her back. But they made the mistake of writing Ayan's name under the photo. Trust me, it's not her. I have (on behalf of SOL of course) scrutinised the photo closely and concluded, without a shadow of a doubt, that the woman with the tattoos was white.

You might not know her, but she could be your "specialist subject" on Mastermind ( if what you scribbled up there is true that is ) .
