Where There Is No Freedom Of Speech,

In April 2006, A Dutch Court Ordered That I Leave My Safe-home That I Was Renting From The State. The Judge Concluded That My Neighbors Had A Right To Argue That They Felt Unsafe Because Of My Presence In The Building.

The People Who Believe Themselves To Be On The Left, And Who Defend The Agents Of Islam In The Name Of Tolerance And Culture, Are Being Rightwing. Not Just Rightwing. Extreme Rightwing. I Don't Understand How You Can Be So Upset About The Christian Right And Just Ignore The Islamic Right. I'm Talking About Equality.

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.

We Had A World Dominated By The Soviet Union On The One Hand, And The Americans On The Other Hand. They Called It The Cold War. But It Wasn't Cold. I Am Someone Who Comes From The Third World. In The Third World, The Cold War Wasn't Cold. Millions Had Been Killed. It Was A Proxy War.

The Veil Deliberately Marks Women As Private And Restricted Property, Nonpersons. The Veil Sets Women Apart From Men And Apart From The World; It Restrains Them, Confines Them, Grooms Them For Docility. A Mind Can Be Cramped Just As A Body May Be, And A Muslim Veil Blinkers Both Your Vision And Your Destiny. It Is The Mark Of A Kind Of Apartheid, Not The Domination Of A Race But Of A Sex.
