sexiest woman- ayaan hirsi ali



Not saying she's sexy because of her looks (though, she's hot), but because of her inspirational story and brilliant mind. Originally from Somalia, Ayaan Hirsi Ali fled to Holland after her father attempted to arrange a marriage for her.

Then in 2004, Hirsi Ali helped a Dutch director, Theo van Gogh, make a controversial film, "Submission," about Muslim women suffering from forced marriages and wife beating. Van Gogh was murdered by an angry Muslim radical in response, and Hirsi Ali went into hiding.

Anyway, I just ordered her books Infidel and The Caged Virgin.
