    And this is the fundamental difference between FFI and CoEM forums.

    FFI's only interest in ex-Muslims is to use them as a blunt instrument to bash Islam with. That is why they attract so many Christian fundamentalists, racists, necons and every other flavour of bigot who hates Muslims and Islam rather than genuine ex-Muslims. (After all what sort of an ex-Muslim wants to be used by bigoted groups to add to the irrational hatred directed towards their own families?)

    CoEM has more to it than simply airing our criticisms of Islam - it is about trying to offer support, and understanding and a place to just finally meet others who have gone through - or are going through what they are and get some help and advice. That stuff that FFI so arrogantly dismisses as "chit-chat" is a very important part of helping each other overcome the baggage Islam has left us with.

    But it's OK - I know FFI (the "Grassroots Ex-Muslim Movement!"  Cheesy ) actually doesn't care about the issues real Ex-Muslims face. FFI's only interest in Ex-Muslims is to use them to further whatever agenda they have (depending on the particular FFI member that will range from a right-wing conservative Christian agenda to just outright racism and bigotry towards 'ragheads')

    About FFI generally I would say that Ali is what he says he is - an Iranian ex-Muslim who was never religious, but most of his supporters were never Muslims. I would say that they are generally from that broad band of Neocons (including many atheists) and right-wing Christian fundamentalists and right-wing or bigoted European groups along with some conservative right-wing support from Israelis - FFI often shows support for Israel and some long time members are from there (e.g yglag, Young Reservist and... I'm guessing...yeezevee...). I suspect Ali Sina got a lot of support and help from right-wing Christians and Necon types which is why he allows them to run free there - plus Ali is clearly a nutcase when it comes to Obama and Taqiyya etc... - typical necon/Christian Fundie hobby horses.)

    Ali Sina's Obama-birther nonsense really makes me suspicious. Why on earth would any genuine ex-muslim who says he's from Iran become so passionat about an issue that is deeply rooted in white american right-wing culture? The whole Obama/Birther thing is so rooted in american racism that it's hard to believe any actual immigrant from the middle east (with a muslim name I presume) would get so involved in such a topic.

    I have yet to meet in real life or on-line a single person who takes the Obama-birther stuff seriously who isn't a white Republican Christian.

    On the bigotted European groups issue, can you blame them, Hassan? I mean Muslims are indeed trying to fuck with Europe... I honestly can't blame Europeans for hating Muslims... but when it comes to fucking neocons and rabid missionaries, that's when I can't tolerate their stinky words against Muslims.

    Yes, but it's still possible - I once heard an interview with Ali aired on a right-wing Neocon/Christian fundie radio station and he sounded like a Persian.

    But of course it's possible that was a fake and he is a composite and concoction of some Neocon who wanted to kick-start an Ex-Muslim movement. But having had many interactions with him going back BEFORE FFI I would say he is exactly who he says he is - he's just a bit of a nutter that's all lol

    True say, Debunker! That's what makes me so angry at the idiots amongst the Muslim communities in Europe because they are the ones bringing on this backlash - and it is people like my two daughters and two sons who will suffer as a result - so yes - I feel a very personal anger at them!

    LOL, That'd be funny if he was some sock puppet character of the neocons. But I guess we're descending into a bit of conspiracy theorizing ourselves. Reality is the simple answer is probably the correct one here. He might just be a really really nutty iranian. A victim of Islam, now the mental damage and PTSD Islam is inflicted on Ali Sina is complete.  Cry

    Ali Sina and Wafa Sultan are great examples of what Islam can do to people. It's obvious that they suffer from PTSD inflicted by Islam and it has manifested itself in a sort of massive backlash of hate against anything remotely Muslim. And who can blame them? Muslims deal with each other in cruel and evil ways, its only natural that the response and backlash against Islam and Muslims can often be extreme.

    I might not agree with the methodology and many views of Ali Sina or Wafa Sultan but I don't really blame them at the end of the day. Islam and Muslims are squarely to blame, these types didn't rise out of a vacuum. They are victims of Islam.

    ...along with some conservative right-wing support from Israelis - FFI often shows support for Israel and some long time members are from there (e.g yglag, Young Reservist and... I'm guessing...yeezevee...).


    Zaephon was a genuine Israel supporter, he was a genuine ex Muslim & he is anything but right wing, & certainly no racist.

    A website like FFI, or for that matter plenty of very popular websites dealing with Islam draw its members, certainly not from any neo con right wings, but from a very broad base consisting of many nations, races, political orientations & religions-pretty much everywhere Islam has touched, people disliking Islam have arisen. A fair perusal of any such websites show people from many nations, who're all concerned with Islamic extremism. I can't imagine a forum critical of any other world religion being so popular with so many diverse people.

    Perhaps people-including ex Muslims need to ask themselves what is it about Islam which raises the ire of so many people who come in contact with it. They'd sense then the fears & skepticism about Islam are very real, very much something to be concerned about.

    No matter what one's political orientation, no one likes being bombed to death or being an amputee confined to a wheelchair due to a jihadi terrorist attack. Most supporters of gender equality would find a niqab or genital mutilation offensive, even many left wingers would find Islamic prejudices against gays, pre marital sex etc offensive.

    and it is people like my two daughters and two sons who will suffer as a result - so yes - I feel a very personal anger at them!


    Non Muslims of diverse views are just as worried about their sons & daughters being killed or maimed in an Islamist attack in London, on a tour of Bali, or in their schools in Beslan.

    Can you in all honesty blame them for their "irrational" fears given that plenty of such attacks have happened, & many more are foiled on an almost daily basis?

    I don't think it's PSTD... when Sina says Muslims should be ruled by the West in their own lands with an iron fist, and Sultan says they should be crushed, they're just serving their neocon masters.

    I liked Zaephon. Sure he was a bit on the extreme end, but his posts reveal a fairly logical and robust individual.

    Though , I don't get how anyone can become "pro-Israel"  Huh? after becoming ex-Muslim. I've become much more sympathetic towards Israel perhaps. But pro-Isreal? That's just trading one set of tribal idiocy for another.

    Yep - you are quite right and even if they are not in favour of any sort of militant action they at the very least hold dear the belief that Islam will indeed 'dominate the world' Though this is no different from the hopes and aspirations of many religious groups or even political groups. So to be fair it doesn't mean they have brought on this backlash.

    It is those who demand what they don't give - who take and don't give to the society that hosts them - those who wish to remain apart and separate yet want all it's benefits that really piss me off!

    I was just commenting on the mentality that no genuine ex Muslim can be supportive of Israel.

    Its not about "my seal of approval" its about the fact that Zaephon was here for many years, I like many others have seen his pics.

    So I was commenting that there are ex Muslims who support Israel.

    I don't doubt that you're all ex Muslims, just saying that all ex Muslims do not hold identical views.

    Also its not about me judging, Hass & others know Zaephon was an ex Muslim & a self professed Zionist crusader.

    Exactly I am more willing to listen to the Israeli side now. And not fear me having to take sides. But I am not going to plunge into one cess-pit of hate and prejudice because I have apostatized.

    I have always tried to have humanistic thoughts and beliefs. And adhere to them. Be a civilized gentleman. Its only that Islam forces you to remain loyal. Without Islam I can still be the same person just more free. I also tried to support different groups before. And this is why I still support Muslims.
