Yasmine is one of the bravest people of our time. She is a shining example to all of us. Ayaan Hirsi Ali Too many of us fail to realize that the principal victims of the unspeakable cruelty that fervent adherence to Islam inspires (not to mention the bossy control-freakery that invades even minute details of everyday life) are Muslims themselves. Especially women. Yasmine Mohammed's heartrending, brave, and beautifully written book brings this home in a way that should finally change the minds of even the most deeply misguided apologists in our well-meaning liberal midst. Richard Dawkins Women and freethinkers in traditional Muslim communities inherit a double burden. If they want to live in the modern world, they must confront not only the theocrats in their homes and schools, but many secular liberals--whose apathy, sanctimony, and hallucinations of "racism" throw yet another veil over their suffering. In Unveiled, Yasmine Mohammed accepts this challenge as courageously as anyone I've ever met, putting the lie to the dangerous notion that criticizing the doctrine of Islam is a form of bigotry. Let her wisdom and bravery inspire you. Sam Harris Insider personal accounts form powerful testimonies. Deeply moving, at times depressing but filled with hope for what can be, instead of what is, Yasmine's story is no exception. Ex-Muslim women are likely to be the most oppressed minority group around the world. Name one other personal choice that can lead to honour-based violence coupled with mob execution in countries that we consider our allies. No liberal is worth their salt if they neglect these minorities within minorities. And Muslims worldwide must recognize this tyranny within our ranks. I hope Yasmine's brave personal account can contribute to raising such desperately needed awareness. Maajid Nawaz--Este texto se refiere a la edicin hardcover.Biografa del autorCanadian human rights activist Yasmine Mohammed advocates for the rights of women living within Islamic majority countries, as well as those who struggle under religious fundamentalism. Yasmine is also the founder of Free Hearts Free Minds, an organization that provides psychological support for ex-Muslims living within Muslim majority countries-where the state-sanctioned punishment for leaving Islam is death. Today she lives in Canada with her two daughters, who let their gorgeous hair flow, and with her loving, supportive husband who had no idea what he was in for when he married her over a decade ago. Unveiled: How Western Liberals Empower Radical Islam is her first book. Meet Yasmine at www.YasmineMohammed.com.--Este texto se refiere a la edicin hardcover.

FEN is about end of life CHOICES. Jacie received his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a concentration in Law and Public Policy from the University of Louisville. He was active in politics to help pass the California End of Life Option act. Among the topics Jacie will address are the End of Life Option Act, institutional support, including hospice, statistics and polling, and the cost of medication and insurance. He points out that studies have shown that places with Death with Dignity laws find the level of hospice care actually improved with the passage of such laws. FEN believes that drawing attention to the way people die results in improved choices all around. When: Saturday, May 20th, 2017 Where: Patio Room, Vista del Monte (Park ONLY in spaces marked "VDM").

  • Conservative Party of Canada – Minority Report of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage on Systemic Racism and Religious Discrimination
    CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF CANADA – MINORITY REPORT OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON CANADIAN HERITAGE ON SYSTEMIC RACISM AND RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION INTRODUCTION In the fall of 2016, MP Iqra Khalid introduced Motion No. 103 (M-103).1 M-103 was an attempt to challenge anti-Muslim hatred in Canada and urged the Government of Canada to address the overall issue of religious discrimination within Canada. While the motion is clearly well meaning, its language is problematic. As the Official Opposition, we made an attempt to amend M-103 and make it more inclusive. The debate on M-103 captured the attention of Canadians and the mainstream media for several weeks. The main objection Canadians had to M-103 was that it complicated and confused the issue of anti-Muslim bigotry and violence rather than clarified it. The word ‘Islamophobia’, which features prominently in M-103, has a long history. Unfortunately, ‘Islamophobia’ has received many definitions, and the failure to use just one definition for the word is highly problematic. We believed that the motion would have better achieved its goal by condemning “all forms of systemic racism, religious intolerance, and discrimination of Muslims, Jews, Christians, Sikhs, Hindus, and other religious communities.” Our amendment to this effect was rejected by the Liberals, who then voted to pass M-103. The public reaction to this by Canadians, both inside and outside of the Muslim community, was one of widespread concern that the issue was being politicized in a way that was limiting healthy debate rather than encouraging it. The hearings that followed in the fall of 2017 have shown that this Liberal government is more focused on political maneuvering than in addressing the underlying issues in a practical way.

  • Why We Left Religion: Testimonies by Ex-Believers
    1 Contents Dedication 3 Quote 4 Introduction 5 Ex-Orthodox Jews 7 Ex-Hindus 13 Ex-Buddhists 17 Ex-Muslims 24 Ex-Christian2 81 Editor Bios 144 Publisher’s Note 146 2 Dedicated to Hauwa Liman & Saifura Khorsa International Red Cross aid workers killed by Boko Haram, 2018 3 “One must state it plainly. Religion comes from the period of human pre-history, where nobody had the smallest idea what was going on” - Christopher Hitchens 4 Introduction Faith? No more…? Religious belief is plummeting around the world, especially in developed nations with excellent education systems. In Europe, non-believers will soon be the largest demographic, and in the USA, 31% of college students have no religious affiliation. Developing nations are also rising up against the tyranny of irrational superstitions. In Nigeria – where Pentecostal preachers plague the south and Islamic extremists rampage the north – there are nine pro-secular organizations. In the Philippines - a Catholic stronghold where divorce, abortion, and birth control are illegal - rebellion against the Vatican extends from the President to activist freethinkers. Why are people abandoning religion? This collection of testimonies by ex- believers reveals multiple reasons: • Disillusionment with the cruelty and hypocrisy of religious leaders and their congregations • Access to skepticism, critical thinking, and atheist argument for disbelief on the internet • Rebellion against religious atrocities such as pedophilia, and the dehumanizing of women, homosexuals, and Hindu castes • 21st century scientific evidence that exposes “truths” in the Bible and Quran as only ludicrous myths • Historical and literary analysis of sacred texts, revealing them to be contradictory and self-serving, with authoritarian agendas.

  • It Is Important to Bring Information to Your Audience About Sharia Law and Practices Such As Female Genital Mutilation
    Dear “This American Life,” It is important to bring information to your audience about Sharia Law and practices such as Female Genital Mutilation. There are people who are survivors of these Islamic laws, as I am. They are NOT anti- Muslim people, but we ARE against any ideology that damages children, women, and other vulnerable people, including men. People like me must hide identities because of safety issues. If we speak out, even here in the United States, we are in danger. NPR and many other mainstream media do not interview people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Anni Cyrus, Yasmine Mohammed, Saira Haider, Ali A. Rizvi, and Ridvan Aydemir (Apostate Prophet) who are bravely speaking out against life-damaging ideology and practices. They are like myself, ex-Muslims; we have important, life-changing information to share with American citizens. Jamie Glazov, a Russian born radio show host, (The Glazov Gang) speaks out against the unequal and violent treatment of women and children by Sharia Law. Why is NPR afraid to approach this subject? If they speak out against these suppressive ideologies, I feel like too many Americans are afraid that they will be labeled as "RACIST!"Don't you know how helpful this would be for women and young girls' futures? May I suggest that you listen to the aforementioned people on the internet. It will be life-changing for you as well. I speak for myself and others who are afraid to speak out, even in our own homes and communities. We need non-Muslims to begin speaking out, not condemning Muslim people, but to acknowledge the slave-like practices that weaken or even brainwash people, even in this country.
