The Doubts That Led Me to Islam | Joram van Klaveren

Joram van Klaveren, a former far-right politician who become Muslim in 2019 while penning an Islamophobic book about the faith, talks about his winding journey to become a Muslim through a nagging itch to reconcile his fraught understanding of the Oneness of God.

This is clip in the MCC Gems Series from a talk about Sidi Joram's remarkable story from critic of Islam to a Muslim: https://youtu.be/Jyg7Xch0Rxk

This talk was delivered at the Muslim Community Center - East Bay (MCC East Bay) in Pleasanton, California on June 18, 2019.

In this clip, Sidi Joram also describes the Biblical parable of the Prodigal Son in reconciling his understanding of Christian dogmas like the Trinity of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him).

He focused on matters of desegregation, employment-to-population ratio, egalitarianism and emancipation. Before he went to parliament he was a City Councilor (March 2006 – July 2009) and worked as a Social Affairs and Education Policy officer.

From 24 March 2011 until 11 June 2014 he also was a member of the States-Provincial of Flevoland. He became well-known for anti-Muslim comments. In October 2018 he converted to Islam halfway through writing an anti-Islam book. After becoming a Muslim, he decided to rededicate his book to his search for religiosity and the subsequent conversion to Islam.

He recently founded the Anthony Janszoon Association. This organization tries to restore the often incorrect image of Islam in the West.
