touzani often takes part in the public debate, and rebukes both far-right extremists (amongst which he includes vlaams belang) and islamists who regularly send him death threats and have even attacked him physically for being an ex-muslim and openly criticising the ills of islam. neither does he want 'the politically correct left' to tell him how to behave, and he refuses to use the term 'islamophobia', "not even a second; that concept is being used to make any criticism [of islam] impossible, and silence the real debate." furthermore, he criticises cultural relativism: "our country emphasies ethnic-religious diversity and rights, while equality, citizenship and transparency come in second place. it should be the other way around." according to touzani, islam is in desperate need of reform, similar to how the catholic church has implemented an "aggiornamento" at the second vatican council; otherwise it will disappear due to its 'rigidity'.
