Launch of the Council of ex-Muslims of Britain (A Cheap Way To Convince Ex-Muslims Into Joining The War on Islam)

Maryam Namzie of the Worker Communist Party of Iran is pleased to announce: ”A British branch of a new Europe-wide phenomenon is to be launched on Thursday 21 June in London. The Council of ex-Muslims of Britain is building on the stunning success of other branches already operating in Germany, Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The British Humanist Association and National Secular Society are sponsoring the launch and support the new organisation.”

The Council will provide a voice for those labelled Muslim but who have renounced religion and do not want to be identified by religion.

Mina Ahadi who initiated the original Central Council of Ex-Muslims in Germany will be attending the launch. She spoke about the aims of the organisation in an interview to Der Spiegel.

Manifesto of the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain

We, non-believers, atheists, and ex-Muslims, are establishing or joining the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain to insist that no one be pigeonholed as Muslims with culturally relative rights nor deemed to be represented by regressive Islamic organisations and ‘Muslim community leaders’.

Those of us who have come forward with our names and photographs represent countless others who are unable or unwilling to do so because of the threats faced by those considered ‘apostates’ – punishable by death in countries under Islamic law.

By doing so, we are breaking the taboo that comes with renouncing Islam but also taking a stand for reason, universal rights and values, and secularism.

Whilst religion or the lack thereof is a private affair, the increasing intervention of and devastation caused by religion and particularly Islam in contemporary society has necessitated our public renunciation and declaration. We represent a majority in Europe and a vast secular and humanist protest movement in countries like Iran.

Taking the lead from the Central Council of Ex-Muslims in Germany, we demand:

1. Universal rights and equal citizenship for all. We are opposed to cultural relativism and the tolerance of inhuman beliefs, discrimination and abuse in the name of respecting religion or culture.
2. Freedom to criticise religion. Prohibition of restrictions on unconditional freedom of criticism and expression using so-called religious ’sanctities’.
3. Freedom of religion and atheism.
4. Separation of religion from the state and legal and educational system.
5. Prohibition of religious customs, rules, ceremonies or activities that are incompatible with or infringe people’s rights and freedoms.
6. Abolition of all restrictive and repressive cultural and religious customs which hinder and contradict woman’s independence, free will and equality. Prohibition of segregation of sexes.
7. Prohibition of interference by any authority, family members or relatives, or official authorities in the private lives of women and men and their personal, emotional and sexual relationships and sexuality.
8. Protection of children from manipulation and abuse by religion and religious institutions.
9. Prohibition of any kind of financial, material or moral support by the state or state institutions to religion and religious activities and institutions.
10. Prohibition of all forms of religious intimidation and threats.

U.N. and Zionist Israel (The United Nations of Israel)

 

Israel is by far the most flagrant and persistent violator of United Nations Security Council resolutions. The only way Israel gets away with so many war crimes is by controlling the United States’s veto-power in the United Nations Security Council. Countries that wield veto-power, either directly or indirectly, are effectively immune from the enforcement of international law. Zionists do that through the United States. Ironically, the United Nations created Israel and now it is Israel that is the country most flagrant in its violations of U.N. resolutions and international law.

Below are some of the Security Council Resolutions since 1967 that Israel is currently violating. This list does not include the General Assembly Resolutions they are in violation of nor the over 40 Security Council resolutions that the United States vetoed on their behalf — many of those the United States was the only nation voting against the resolution.The total is more than the total number of vetoes cast by all the other Security Council members put together.  Thinking that you might like to read an actual resolution dealing with the Palestine/Israel conflict a link to one has been included. It is a resolution passed by the U.N. General Assembly that Israel as usual has chosen to ignore. This resolution is still active, and Israel is still bound to obey it.
