“Salim-bey sanoi kerran: "Sinä luet paljon. Hullu." Minä vastasin, että lukeminen on minulle halpaa huumetta. Ei siitä muuta hyötyä ole kuin se että menee tiedottomaksi. Ennen vanhaan - kuvittele - väki luki siksi että tulisi tiedostavaksi!”

“Efforts to silence the people who raised their voice – whether through violence, intimidation or the courts – meant that three decades after the Rushdie affair there was almost no one in Europe who would dare write a novel, compose a piece of music or even draw an image that might risk Muslim anger. Indeed, they ran in the other direction. Politicians and almost everybody else went out of their way to show how much they admired Islam.”

“dès qu’on parle de quitter la France tous les Français trouvent ça formidable c’est un point caractéristique chez eux, même si c’est pour aller au Groenland ils trouvent ça formidable”

“Early in her public career a friend had asked Hirsi Ali, ‘Don’t you realise how small this country is, and how explosive it is, what you’re saying?’ As she recounted her response in her autobiography, ‘Explosive? In a country where prostitution and soft drugs are licit, where euthanasia and abortion are practised, where men cry on TV and naked people walk on the beach and the pope is joked about on national TV? Where the famous author Gerard Reve is renowned for having fantasized about making love with a donkey, an animal he used as a metaphor for God? Surely nothing I could say would be seen as anything close to “explosive” in such a context.”
