I am a muslim, a christian, a jew, a hindu and an atheist. Not in the sense that I am actively engaging in those religions, but I acknowledge the validity of all of them.70- 80 years ago Jews were persecuted and suffered terribly. Now, there is a threat the same fate might wait for muslims, so let's make sure history's mistakes won't be repeated.

When the Nazis occupied Denmark the Danish king came out on the Streets with a Jew star, bravo! This was my inspiration for Mohammed Arie: a combination of a typical Dutch name and the Islamic prophet to symbolise all people can live together in friendship and harmony and should not be discriminated against. Good luck in your chess games.
