From Critic to Convert The Joram van Klaveren Story
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXnSMrjlaWY
Sidi Joram van Klaveren shares his remarkable personal journey as a former far-right Dutch lawmaker who had been fiercely critical of Islam and why he chose to became a Muslim in 2019 while he had been penning a book meant to be anti-Islam. Joram van Klaveren was a lawmaker in the Party of Freedom, led by Dutch anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders, from 2010 to 2014. During that time, he advocated a burqa ban, a ban on masjid minarets and a ‘de-Islamization‘ of the Netherlands. In February 2019, he announced his religious conversion to Islam. The Islamophobic polemic he had been penning morphed into a rousing defense of the faith. Sidi van Klaveren was hosted in summer 2019 on his U.S. visit by the Emir-Stein Center, which seeks to promote empathy and understanding through religious and cultural literacy.
