Salaam alaykum.
Let me tell you something. Ayaan Hirsi was raised in Kenya, with mainly Saudi Arabian influences. Apparently, those who raised her felt that in order to be closer to Islam they must embrace Saudi Arabian culture. That's an erroneous assumption and shows that they cannot differentiate between culture and religion.
Therefore, raised that way, while being told "this is true Islam" and in her book, it is clear that she uses the way she was raised as her main basis of rejecting and insulting Islam. That shows that she did not choose to learn more about Islam from the Word of God but rather through culture and extremism. How can one be regarded as being intelligent when they choose to judge without learning about it, objectively, from the truest source (the Qur'an)? Therefore, I do not regard Ayaan Hirsi as an intelligent woman or even as an honourable woman. She has lied, including to the Dutch government and officials, many times. I feel nothing but apathy towards her. It's for God to give her whatever reward or punishment He wills to give her on Judgement Day.
