But foremost, I do not subscribe to the view that Islamic culture and democracy cannot be reconciled.

I didn't want to live in an Islamic society because I knew I wasn't going to be a first-class citizen, and I knew I was not going to be able to keep doing what I was doing as an actress.

I don't know that Islam has ever been a subject of anything that I've written. I think Muslims have often been, but those are two very different things.

Ninety percent of the comic books I've written in the past had little or nothing to do with Islam.

I was never a practicing Muslim. But I do consider myself a Muslim.

I have a big problem with Islam.

Islam is not a religion. It's a political system. It has a different set of rules.

The Koran did not invent or introduce patriarchy.

There is a widespread difficulty in the Muslim world, which has to do with how the people are taught about examining their own history. A whole range of stuff has been placed off limits.
