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. Learn more about their work at https://www.emir-stein.org
This talk was delivered at the Muslim Community Center - East Bay (MCC East Bay) in Pleasanton, California on June 18, 2019.
From this talk, learn about Anthony Janszoon van Salee, who is considered as the first known Muslim settler in the Americas and also the first inhabitant of Brooklyn in New York:
In October 2018 he
converted to Islam halfway through writing an anti-Islam book.[2]
After becoming a Muslim, he decided to rededicate his book to his
search for religiosity and the subsequent conversion to Islam. His book
titled "Apostate from Christianity to Islam in times of sécularisation and terror" was published in both Dutch and English.
In 2009, Van Klaveren was convicted for driving under the influence and refusing a sobriety test.[3] On 21 March 2014, Van Klaveren announced that he would leave the
Party for Freedom, as he no longer agreed with the party's course.
Controversial comments on the Moroccan minority in the Netherlands by
party leader Geert Wildersafter the 2014 local elections played part in this decision. Van Klaveren continued as an independent MP.[4] In May 2014, Joram van Klaveren, together with Louis Bontes and Johan Driessen, founded a new conservative political party called For the Netherlands (VNL).
After failing to get reelected during the 2017 general election because VNL did not secure a single seat, Van Klaveren's term in the House formally ended on 23 March 2017.[1] Subsequently, he became a commentator in April 2017 for the daily radio show Dit is de Dag, produced by Christian public broadcaster EO. According to presenter Tijs van den Brink, he was hired because he represented conservative and right-wing Christians.[5] Van Klaveren was known for anti-Islamic comments: he spoke of
"Muslim misery". In 2019, in interviews on the occasion of his
publishing De afvallige ("The renegade"), which chronicles his
search for religion and religiosity, he mentioned that he now accepts
Muhammad as the prophet, and said that he had converted to Islam.[6] In his book, Apostate, Van Klaveren talked about his testimony of faith:
"With the idea in mind that one God Whom Moses and Jesus, amongst
others, spoke about is the same as the God that we read about in the
Quran, and that Muhammed, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
without any doubts fits the line of Prophets from the Bible, I decided
to pronounce the testimony of faith. This took place after an excellent
dinner in a cozy, homely setting with a small group of people. After
pronouncing the Shahada, it did not rain gold and did not see the stars
sparkle more than usual.
However, I did notice a certain personal
delight and rest."[7] His former political leader Wilders (PVV) said he had never seen
Van Klaveren's conversion coming, adding that it was like if a
vegetarian accepted a job in a slaughterhouse.[8] His erstwhile VNL leader Jan Roos added he was equally startled: "Does this flip surprise me? Yes, totally." [9] Joram Van Klaveren is currently the President of the Anthony Janszoon Association, named after Anthony Janszoon van Salee, which mainly aims at clearing misconceptions about Islam.

As salaamu 'alaykum, Syed Moustafa al-Qwazwini, Why should we trust the Shi’a Sect of Islam when, first, SECTS are forbidden in Islam, and second, just like with the original Muslims, all their History is based not on facts, but on extremely doubtful accounts almost akin to fabrications or just lies? They tell us such an ABSURDITY that Muhammad told a secret to his only or youngest daughter Fatima bint Muhammad aka Fāṭimah al-Zahrāʾ the shining one, that she would be the first member of his family to join him after his death, meaning that at death Muhammad would not meet a single member of his vast family, not a single one among all the dead, including all the martyrs, NOT EVEN HIS WIFE Khadijah bint Khuwaylid or his paternal martyred uncle Ḥamzah ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib!!!??? THIS IS EVIDENCE ENOUGH THAT MUSLIM ACCOUNTS OF THE EARLY MUSLIMS ARE MOSTLY FABRICATED OR BASED ON INAUTHENTIC SOURCES. This is all about FAITH and not historical truth! BAFS
