Arzu Toker (born 1952) is a German-speaking writer, journalist, publicist and translator of Turkish descent.

Biography

Toker was born in 1952 in Halfeti, Turkey. She moved to Germany in 1974, where she has lived ever since.

Early 2007, she and Mina Ahadi were amongst the founders of the Central Council of Ex-Muslims, a German association that aims to represent people who have renounced Islam. Toker opines that Islam is inhumane, contrary to the German Constitution and both misogynous and misandrous: according to her, men in Islam are being "degraded to breeding machines". She warns that in many Dutch cities there are women's and day care centres in the hands of Islamists.[1] By allowing this Islamic pillarisation, the Netherlands are too tolerant in Toker's view. For her, Islam stands for oppression, and one should be allowed to say that, naming Ayaan Hirsi Ali as their example.[2]
