Good News: The Ayaan Hirsi Ali Security Trust Fund

You may remember that my idea of private funding for Ayaan Hirsi Ali's safety did not get a warm reception. People thought a government should be providing this. I said at the time that it would soon escalate. At what point would governments have to cut off provision of security to private citizens?

Since then, Lars Vilks has moved to a safe house...well, sort of safe. He did allow television cameras to have a look around the neighborhood.

And then there is the blogger from Politically Incorrect, who has been threatened - they were outside his house - and he has gone into hiding also.

There is the potential for many, many more as the EUSSR and the islamistics make the idea of free speech seem criminal.

We just received an email announcing the establishment of a private trust fund dedicated to raising monies for the purpose of providing Ayaan Hirsi Ali with personal security:

The preferred and most immediate way to assist Ms. Hirsi Ali in the financing of her private security protection is through the Ayaan Hirsi Ali Security Trust.

The trust fund can accept both US and international funds and is entirely for the purpose of financing Ms. Hirsi Ali’s security.

I wonder if they can establish a Paypal account, too? If anyone knows how they’d go about doing this, would you call and suggest it? That would be likely to bring in more funding from the blogosphere.
