After making a 10 minute short film with noted Dutch Film Maker [[Theo Van Gogh]], entitled [[Submission (film)|''"Submission"'']], a [[fatwa]] (proclamation of death) was issued on her, and Theo Van Gogh was killed.

== Atheist community double standards: Muslim men misogyny vs. atheist men misogny ==
''See also:'' [[Atheist hypocrisy]]
In recent times, atheists have put in a lot of effort and focus into decrying the deplorable treatment of many [[Islam|Muslim]] women by Muslim men, yet the same degree of attention about the high amount of physical abuse atheist women endure at the hands of atheist men via domestic abuse and the other forms of abuse is not given nearly the same amount of import by many in the atheist community. See: [[Irreligion and domestic violence]] and [[Secular Europe and domestic violence]].
For example, [[Ayaan Hirsi Ali]] is chosen to be the keynote speaker of the [[American Atheists]] convention in 2014 and in 2005 the secular left leaning ''Time'' magazine named her one of the most 100 influential people in the world.<ref>[http://atheists.org/convention2015 2015 American Atheists National Convention]</ref><ref>[http://wwsg.com/ayaan-hirsi-ali Ayaan Hirsi Ali - Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world]</ref> Yet, the women who point out misogyny in [[Western World]] atheism receive torrents of abuse (see: [[Elevatorgate]]) and are not highly lauded by the atheist community to nearly the same degree.
