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.

I think of Canada, first and foremost, in terms of space. The amount of space available is breathtaking.

If we don't take effective measures now, the Netherlands could be torn between two extreme rights.

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.

Sometimes I was so busy being tuned in to outside ideas, expectations, and demands, I failed to hear the unique music in my soul. I forfeited my ability to listen creatively to my deepest self, to my own God within.

At the end of the day, we're all brothers and sisters in God. What people do is none of my business.

Nothing that God ever made is the same thing to more than one person. That is natural.

There are many Muslims of good will and despise this extremism as much as anyone of any other faith.
