Community Censorship Plagues the House of Islam by Bashir Goth
"Nowhere is Rousseau's statement that "Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains," truer than in the House of Islam . . . In the Islamic world you cease to be a human being. You become only a Muslim, whatever that entails. You are not allowed to be a person with vices and virtues, you cannot follow your own reasoning, and you cannot be unpopular or defend an unpopular idea. You cannot go out of the circle. To express yourself freely means to risk death . . ."
