MEDIA ADVISORY:
Former Muslims Call on DOJ, US Commission On Civil Rights to Investigate Hate Crimes and Discrimination
Against Apostates from Islam
WASHINGTON, DC (September 21, 2009) - Prominent former Muslims-- apostates from Islam-- will hold a press conference Thursday, September 24 to announce the launch of a new civil liberties organization, Former Muslims United, and the start of a national campaign to educate the American public and policymakers about the threat from authoritative Shariah-- Islamic law-- to the religious freedom and safety of former Muslims.
At the press conference, Former Muslims United founders Nonie Darwish and Ibn Warraq (both internationally-respected authors and scholars) will release letters calling on the Department of Justice and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to investigate possible hate crimes and civil rights violations against apostates from Islam, including the circumstances of the current Florida case of 17-year old Rifqa Bary, a former Muslim.  The letters are also signed by Former Muslims United co-founders Mohammad Asghar, Wafa Sultan and Amil Imani.
Darwish and Warraq will release the text of Former Muslim United?s groundbreaking ?Muslim Pledge for Religious Freedom and Safety from Harm for Former Muslims,? copies of which will be received in the offices of dozens of Muslim leaders across America by September 25, the 220th anniversary of Congress passing the Bill of Rights.   They will also distribute a list of the names of this first group of Muslim leaders to be asked to sign the Muslim Pledge.   Additional Muslim leaders will be sent the pledge in the next month as the national campaign gets underway. The names of all pledge recipients will be listed at Formermuslimsunited.org

Security at the press conference will be tightly maintained, and photo identification will be required of all attendees.
EVENT: Launch of Former Muslims United
PLACE: Longworth House Office Building, Hearing Room 1334
DATE: Thursday, September 24, 2009
TIME: 2:00 p.m.

All Former Muslims United founders are available for interviews.

Well-it's progress at least, at least American ex-Muslims now have an outlet.

On the other hand-it's Nonie Darwish. 

[HighOctane]

Interesting, good work. Didn't know about Nonie Darwish, she looks good from initial reading, but I can see why some are opposed to her views.

[SE-man]

I don't see a problem with Mrs Darwish either. In Wikipedia I find nothing odd about her.

Why the tears?

I'm not sure but someone ones said that she doesn't know anything about Islam...


But fuck that... We're going global! 
This is the first time an organization like this has been founded outside of Europe, right?

[HenriMonier]

Because she's a devout evangelical and cooperates with fools like CBN.

[SE-man]

Oh ok. Sounds like less of an authority then.

But she still has the right to argue for Islam leaving her alone and letting her do what she does.

Wafa Sultan was in that crowd also, let's hope she can compensate for her.

[HenriMonier]

It's not that I mind her talking about such issues-but I would prefer (personally) a leader of such an organisation to be a secular person-she is devout. That's just my preference.

It's better than nothing-but I am worried about her taking the organisation a certain "angle".

I saw this the other day.  This isn't the first time they've tried to do something in America.  For some crazy reason, it never gets off the ground.  I'd reckon it's something to do with authenticity and knowing what the fuck they're talking about and being alienating.   That's different, by the way, from saying they don't have the right to do this or say whatever they want, but I personally would not stand next to any of those people I've heard are with this so far, with the exception of maybe i.W.

[AisaLagtaHAI]

hmmm it sounds great, but if they try to promote christianity or judaism, than it's really no help.
