TheAHA Foundation is Americannonprofit organization founded byAyaan Hirsi Ali, its namesake. The organizations stated goal is to protect Western Freedoms and Ideals, especially from the threat of, what it considers, Islamic extremism. It was founded byAyaan Hirsi Ali in 2007 and is based inNew York City. Originally formed to supportex-Muslims who had suffered for theirreligious orpolitical beliefs, the organization's scope was broadened September 2008 to focus on women's rights. The goal of the AHA Foundation is to combat crimes against women and girls such aschild marriage,forced marriages,female genital mutilation andhonor killings. Its key activities include education, outreach and legislative advocacy.[1]
TheCouncil of American Islamic Relations supports AHA's goal of defending women's rights, but says that its founder unfairly maligns all Muslims. For example, it points out that Ayaan Hirsi Ali has called Islam a "nihilistic cult of death".[2][3]
