Today I learned of the website, "
Former Muslims United" from Pamela Geller's
Atlas Shrugs which has been following the case of the young former Muslim, and now Christian,
Rifqa Bary (see also
here). "Former Muslims United" plans a news conference for September 24th at which it will
"call 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." It also plans to release
FMU's groundbreaking text,
“Muslim Pledge for Religious Freedom and Safety from Harm
for Former Muslims.” These developments strike me as extraordinary. May God bless these efforts which, properly understood, must be viewed as heroic.
At the FormerMuslimsUnited website, one can find a link to Dr. Andrew Bostom's important article, Apostasy and the Islamic Nations which shows how the 1990 Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam blatantly contradicts the 1948 U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights as well as the United States Bill of Rights. Bostom cites the Muslim texts that demand the killing of apostates, a chilling reality that has yet to penetrate the minds of uncomprehending Western multiculturalists.
