I Would Like To Be Judged On

Islam Was Like A Mental Cage. At First, When You Open The Door, The Caged Bird Stays Inside: It Is Frightened. It Has Internalized Its Imprisonment. It Takes Time For Bird To Escape, Even After Someone Has Opened The Doors To Its Cage.

I See No Difference Between Islam And Islamism. Islam Is Defined As Submission To The Will Of Allah, As It Is Described In The Koran. Islamism Is Just Islam In Its Most Pure Form.

I Cannot Emphasize Enough How Wrongheaded This Is. Withholding Criticism And Ignoring Differences Are Racism In Its Purest Form. Yet These Cultural Experts Fail To Notice That, Through Their Anxious Avoidance Of Criticizing Non-western Countries, They Trap The People Who Represent These Cultures In A State Of Backwardness. The Experts May Have The Best Of Intentions, But As We All Know, The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions.

You Have To Let Individuals Make Their Own Choices And Respect That, Even If It's Your Own Child. And That's What Was Taken Away From Me. My Father Passed Away Thinking I Still Had To Go Back To His Way Of Believing.

People Ask Me If I Have Some Kind Of Death Wish, To Keep Saying The Things I Do. The Answer Is No: I Would Like To Keep Living. However, Some Things Must Be Said, And There Are Times When Silence Becomes An Accomplice To Injustice.
