Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution[5] and an adjunct scholar at the AEI (American Enterprise Institute)[6], covering the research areas Islam and the West, Islam and Women, and Islam in Europe.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali served as a member of the Dutch Parliament from 2003 to 2006.

After Ayaan Hirsi Ali asked if male circumcision could be made illegal, the Dutch Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner claimed that circumcision was not traumatic and he saw no reason to make it illegal.[7]
Meddings (2017) stated that
| “ | Prominent human rights advocates Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Soraya Mire (both survivors of female genital mutilation) have acknowledged that male circumcision is worse than some forms
of female genital mutilation. Indeed, in its removal of the foreskin, which is the most sensitive part of the penis, male circumcision also removes 30–50 per cent of the penile skin. – Jonathan Meddings (Australian Rationalist)[8] |
