All of a sudden, there is talk of her return

There are quite a few conspiracy theories doing the rounds about the continous absence of Ms. Ayaan Hirshi Ali, the Dutch MP who made the movie Submission together with Theo van Gogh. Nobody has seen her since the murder of her friend and partner in art.
I usually tend to favor Occam's Razor over complicated conspiracy theories. Nevertheless, I am gradually starting to develop some appreciation for the theory that Ms. Ayaan Hirshi Ali was silenced by powers in the Dutch government, for fear of her causing 'further unrest' in society.
Why else would stories about her possible return to politics surface only days after a few prominent Dutch writers started lending their credibility to this theory?
For those of you unfamiliar with it, Occam's Razor is all about favoring the simplest explanation possible. Right now, the easiest explanation (other than coincidence, which is not an explanation) for this sudden suggested resurfacing of Ms. Hirsi Ali seems to be that some people don't like the idea that her absence is getting so much attention.
(Then again, you're not paranoid if they're really after you ;-), and this rant may simply be due to me drinking too much of that Bushmills whiskey Edwin was kind enough to give me today.)
