Abstract

[I specifically remember when Deniz Uzun died, you know the Turkish paper delivery boy. The murder made me react because it felt close to me—in every sense of the word. The victim was a Muslim and it happened in my city. The debate it fostered taught me a lot about this place and also made me wonder how you can be considered a stranger and, yet, nobody is willing to recognize that that’s what got you killed in the first place. This [incident], more than anything else, made me question how I belong here—more than the cartoons, and more than the neverending debates on integration and Islam (Personal interview, Denmark, September 2008).]
