In Holland I have seen well-meaning, principled people blinded by multiculturalism, overwhelmed by the imperative to be sensitive and respectful of immigrant culture, while ignoring criminal abuse of women and girls.

Reality is not easy, but all this make-believe doesn't make it easier.

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.

No one in the American Enterprise imposes their beliefs. We clash, and I think that's what the West is all about.

They decided to let immigrants in and I am an immigrant. They gave us a chance to participate in this country's life and I took it.

I don't have much in me left for Somalia, because the country is so broken, it's not realistic to daydream about it.

Islam is not a race...Islam is simply a set of beliefs, and it is not 'Islamophobic' to say Islam is incompatible with liberal democracy.
