but don t be fooled. islam has no place in our free society. islam and democracy are incompatible. and almost every country, if not every country where islam is dominant has a total lack of democracy, a total lack of freedom and a civil society. i leave the hague wondering what holland s muslims must think as those ideas catch fire. 5% of this nation of 17 million practices islam, including abutallab, a moroccan who came here at age 15 and learn dutch from vol tire, the first thing to do is to use a bicycle. but i have no money for a bicycle. so i borrow a bike federal a friend and then go to a park and learn to ride a bike. and fall and get up and fall.
