Mina’s ex-Muslim group spawns a movement

The Iranian women’s rights and human rights activist Mina Ahadi, who founded the Central Committee of ex-Muslims in Germany, seems to have started a trend. Following her valiant example, activist in the Netherlands have set about founding their own organisation of ex-Muslims.

EhsanEhsan Jami, 22, from Iran and Lobna Berada from Morocco were joined by Mina Ahadi to be interviewed by the Dutch media about their aims. Since then, the Dutch Committee has received 600 inquiries and almost a hundred people have registered an interest in membership and are actively working together. Next week there will be a press conference in the Hague, which Mina Ahadi will also attend.

That the German example has been followed so quickly in the Netherlands indicates the possibility of an international movement forming to protect the universality of human rights and to oppose both political Islam and cultural relativity.

The Central Committee of Ex-Muslims hailed the founding of a sister organisation in the Netherlands and called for the formation of similar groups in other countries. Anyone in Britain interested?
