Every Time You Take A Train, Step

I'd Like Muslims To Look At Their Religion As A Set Of Beliefs That They Can Appraise Critically And Pick And Choose From.

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.

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.

I Lived In Countries That Had No Democracy... So I Don't Find Myself In The Same Luxury As You Do. You Grew Up In Freedom, And You Can Spit On Freedom Because You Don't Know What It Is Not To Have Freedom.

I Come From A World Where The Word 'trauma' Doesn't Exist, Because We Are Too Poor. I Didn't Have An Easy Life Compared To The Average European. But Compared To The Average African, It Wasn't All That Bad.
