"In Slate two weeks ago, I mentioned that security for Ayaan Hirsi Ali might have to be paid for partly by private subscription. Here are the details for all who may wish to contribute to this eminently deserving cause. Checks should be made payable to the Ayaan Hirsi Ali Security Trust and sent to the same trust in care of Bank of Georgetown, 1054 31st St., NW, Suite 18, Washington, D.C. 20007. The trust's tax identification number is 75-6826872. Those who prefer wire transfer should use account number 1010054748 and bank routing number 054001712. This appeal is a test of our seriousness in the face of theocracy and its assassins."

There were several posts in recent weeks about the Dutch government dropping protection for Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the brave woman who has criticized Islamic extremism in the face of serious death threats. Several of us posted that we'd contribute to a security fund for her. Christopher Hitchens provides the information above at the end of another well-written article on Turkey and the Kurds.
