N2 - 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).
