A Movement for Civil Rights for ex-Muslims

Muslim apostates are the invisible victim group. And their fate can be worse than any other minority group in the world. Why?

Currently people who leave Islam can be shunned, threatened, beaten and killed. But these are only the Sharia law consequences.

I can provide a focus and help in providing a “voice” for this movement but I can’t be its leader as I have never been one of you. And I have more work to do than I can handle at this time.

Ex-Muslims could be a powerful weapon against Islam. Currently, only Muslims are allowed to educate government agencies, think tanks, schools and other tax funded organizations. If we followed our laws and Constitution, then if Muslims are used for presenting the “truth” about Islam, former Muslims should present the rest of the facts. The total truth needs to be told from both the believer and the non-believer side. The same should happen to translations of Arabic and Farsi, if Muslims are hired, then former Muslims should be hired as well.
