My conscience is informed by reason. It's like Kant's categorical imperative: behave to others as you would wish they behaved to you.

I'd like Muslims to look at their religion as a set of beliefs that they can appraise critically and pick and choose from.

We must reclaim and retake feminism from our fellow idiotic women.

My brother thinks it is very, very bad that I left Islam. My half-sister wants to convert me back; I want to convert her to Western values. My mum is terrified that when I die, and we all go to God, I will be burned.

I believe that the dysfunctional Muslim family constitutes a real threat to the very fabric of western life. It is in the family that children are groomed to practise, promote and pass on the norms of their parents' culture.

I am grateful to my father for sending me to school, and that we moved from Somalia to Kenya, where I learned English.

Women covering their heads is traditional, but now we're seeing more and more women covering themselves from head to toe. This is said to be for religious reasons but it's actually the conflation of religion and politics - every political movement has its slogans, flags and dress.
