We are a global coalition of Muslims, former Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, atheists, academics, scholars, authors, and activists united by a shared commitment to peace, democracy, liberty, human dignity, freedom of conscience, and secular governance.
We are deeply concerned by the growing influence of Islamism and by the threat it poses to these principles in societies around the world. We believe Islamism is a political ideology that seeks, in varying forms, to subordinate individual rights, democratic institutions, and civil society to an Islamist conception of religion and law. We reject this political project while affirming the equal dignity and rights of Muslims and people of every faith and of no faith.
Our coalition is uniquely led by co-directors Yasmine Mohammed, a former Muslim, and Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a practicing Muslim. Their partnership reflects both the diversity of Muslim experience and the broad coalition necessary to confront the ideological movements that threaten liberty, democracy, and human rights.
