Happy news of the day


Feminist writer Hirsi Ali has married Niall Ferguson.

Ali is under a "fatwa" death threat for helping make a film about the oppression of women under radical Islam. LINK

She is also a leader in the fight against Female genital mutilation.

Ferguson? Well, he did this series

In her latest book, Nomad, Ms Ali mentioned a conversation with journalist Oriana Fallaci, who said that the greatest regret in her life was not raising a child...and it was one reason that Ali decided to have a child, which is due any time now. In the book, she didn't name the father, and was unsure if she wanted to marry.

So I am happy for them both.
