I am on the email list of ex-Muslim Maryam Namazie. She
resides in the UK. I don’t often cross post info from Ms. Namazie because she
not only an ex-Muslim, I get the impression she is anti-religion in general
representing the values of Leftist Secular Humanism.
Her views on Islam are notable as to exposing the reality of
Islamic theopolitical ideology. Since I believe and follow the values of
Biblical Christianity. I am quite certain this would rub Ms. Namazie to a sense
of unpleasantness toward me.
Nevertheless, this particular email alerts about the
existence of International Blasphemy Day. That’s a big finger point to how
Islam treats those who have disagreed with Sharia Law. If you violate Sharia
particularly as to relating to their moon deity Allah, Muhammad or departing
away from Islam; is a violation that labels you a blasphemer worthy of death.
Although the day was initiated over the insane Muslim response to cartooning
Muhammad in Danish news periodicals such as Jyllands-Posten, the day has
been managed by atheist Secular Humanists against all religions. This means
Christians are as much a target for ridicule as Muslims. The major difference
being Christians don’t go out on murderous rampages as a Muslim would offended
over an ascertained blasphemy.
Here is a bit of a bio from Maryam Namazie’s webpage:
Maryam Namazie is a political
activist, campaigner and blogger.
She is the Spokesperson for Fitnah - Movement
for Women's Liberation, Equal Rights Now, One
Law for All Campaign against Sharia Law in Britain and
the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain. She hosts a weekly
television programme in Persian and English called Bread and Roses broadcast in Iran and the Middle East
via New Channel TV.
She is on the International
Advisory Board of the Raif Badawi Foundation for Freedom;
Humanist Laureate at the International Academy of Humanism,
Central Committee member of the Worker-communist Party of Iran;
National Secular Society Honorary Associate; Honorary Associate of Rationalist International; Emeritus Member of the Secular
Humanist League of Brazil; a Patron of London Black Atheists and Pink
Triangle Trust and a member of the International Advisory
Board of Feminist Dissent.
The Islamic regime of Iran's media
outlets has called Namazie immoral and corrupt and
did an 'exposé' on her entitled 'Meet this anti-religion woman'.
Maryam was a character in DV8
Physical Theatre's Can We Talk About This?, which
deals with freedom of speech, censorship and Islam.
She was awarded Atheist of the
Year by Kazimierz Lyszczynski (2014); Journalist of the Year
at the Dods Women
in Public Life Awards (2013); selected one of the top 45 women
of the year by Elle magazine Quebec (2007);
one of 2006's most
intriguing people by DNA, awarded the National Secular
Society's Secularist of the Year Award (2005);
selected 'Iranian of the Year' by
Iranian.com readers (1997 and 1998); International Rescue Committee medal
recipient (1988); and received the Julia B. Friedman Humanitarian Award (1987).
Except relating to Islam, Namazie is the kind of person that
wants to transform the world into a Secular Humanist Marxist utopia. This
translates into a despotic dictatorship where people are told how to live for
the good of State principles and ideologies.
In the name of Multiculturalism, the global Left is
brainwashing people into accepting Islam as an equal ideology in society
because the Leftist elite are fully aware Islam will destroy the West’s
heritage built upon the foundation of Greek, Roman, Judaism and Christian
influences that has developed into a society of humanity which individual
Liberty.
The Freedom that Liberty provides individuals drives both
Islamic and Leftist ideologues nuts. Thus both ideologies are watching their
backs due to their differences while advantage is being taken place Biblical
Western Values.
The ideologues of the Left appear clueless of Islamic
history and the 270 million people murdered since a guy named Muhammad synthesized
religious ideologies to form a monotheistic death-cult that initially enriched
Islamic prophet with personal wealth, sex slaves and brutal despotism to all
those opposed to him.
To be honest the globe’s Marxist Left has done their share
of murders in the name of forming a fake utopia. The Left’s heinous murders
covered up from their populace knowing the revulsion it would cause. Islam
could care less about a non-Muslim’s revulsion of the slaughter of people in
the name of Allah/Muhammad.
It is my opinion Leftist-Marxists will lose to rabid Muslim
culture of death because they brain wash devoted followers. Marxists are only
capable of brainwashing a few disciples that will oppress the majority of
humanity. The majority would eventually overthrow the despots as history has
shown.
Unfortunately, the Muslim brainwashing tact turns the
majority into the minority who become helpless servants of Islam. If you look
at history, the Middle East and North Africa were Christians. After the Muslim
conquest, oppression caused the majority to grow weary and transform to the
darkside of theopolitical Islam for a better life for the sake of families.
Islam actually became a viable choice.
Marxism has little interest – no matter what a Communist
might tell you – to transform the hearts and minds into a global community.
Rather Marxism relies on controlling society through promoting fear inside the
community. Meaning no one really knows who is an authentic friend or foe.
As a simple matter of choice, the global Left should adopt
an anti-Islam paradigm for the fear of Muslim rulers wiping the memory Marxism
as they did to Christianity in the Middle East and North Africa.

Created as a finale to the
groundbreaking International Conference on Freedom of Conscience and
Expression, the largest gathering of ex-Muslims in history, this is the world's
first group bodypaint captured by both ground and drone. Conceived by award-winning
bodypainter Victoria Gugenheim in support of and solidarity with ex-Muslims and
the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain (CEMB).
Some will ask why we must celebrate blasphemy when it is
"hurtful" and "offends".
The answer is simple:
Because people can be killed for blaspheming and human life
is more important than hurt sensibilities and offence.
As the Jordanian atheist, Mohammed Al Khadra said at the largest gathering of ex-Muslims in history,
"Where are your priorities? While we die, you are all thinking about Islamophobia?"
Islamophobia is a political term used to scaremonger people
into silence; it imposes de facto blasphemy and apostasy laws where none exist.
Where such laws exist, there are no accusations of "Islamophobia" but
rather imprisonment, persecution and execution.
Another speaker at the July conference, Zineb El Rhazoui, who survived the attack on Charlie Hebdo
because she was back in Morocco says "the right to blasphemy [marks] the
boundary between barbarism and civilisation."
As the new edition of CEMB's publication: "The Political and Legal Status of
Apostates in Islam" shows, it is especially dangerous for
ex-Muslims living under Sharia.
CEMB is organising a protest at the Pakistani and Iranian embassies in London on 10 November
to highlight a number of cases facing the death penalty such as that of Sina
Dehghan, Soheil Arabi and Ayaz Nizami.
We are also campaigning for activists like Iraqi atheist Karrar Al Afsoor who has fled
to Greece where he is being detained in awful conditions.
Despite the targeted persecution and slaughter of
freethinkers, though, it is we who are still being blamed for the threats we
receive and even when we are murdered - like the woman whose rape is blamed on
the length of her skirt.
We are outrageously even compared to Nazis for
marching for LGBT and ex-Muslim rights at Pride in London by
"progressives" who prefer to side with Islam and Islamism than with
dissenters. (As an aside, Pride in London is still deciding whether to allow
CEMB back at Pride next year given complaints(!) by the homophobic East London
Mosque. CEMB has called on Pride to do the right
thing.)
Spokesperson Maryam Namazie exposed the hypocrisy, double
standards and racism of lower expectations at the 40th convention of the
Freedom from Religion Foundation when she accepted the Freedom from Religious Fundamentalism award.
Thankfully, there are many who continue to support our work
and the right to freedom of conscience and expression. This support has meant a
great deal to us and enabled us to continue the important work we do.
Please continue to support us via donations
(no matter how small), volunteering your skills (we especially need
help with film editing and graphic design), as well as attending our protests
and events. Sadia Hameed and Maryam are speaking at a number of events in Belgrade, Cambridge, Koln, Massachusetts, Melbourne,
Nottingham, Pennsylvania and Rome.
In London, at our monthly meet-ups, we have everything from
an ex-Muslim art workshop to "coming out parties" for ex-Muslims who
decide to go public.
We hope you can join us at some of our events, including our
10 December End-Year event with food, drinks, speeches, music and dancing. Get your tickets to join us as soon as you
can.
By the way, Deeyah Khan's film, Islam's Nonbelievers, [Blog Editor: I am
posting this 46-minute document about UK ex-Muslims at the end of this cross
post] which was about the work of CEMB and the situation of ex-Muslims in
Britain and internationally has been shortlisted for the Asi an Media Awards in Investigative
Journalism.
Thanks again for your support.
Looking forward to hearing from you or seeing you at some of
our events.
Warmest wishes,
Maryam Namazie

The Future Belongs to Blasphemers
Campaign against Sharia law in Britain
Declaration
We, the undersigned individuals and organisations, call on the UK
government to bring an end to the use and institutionalisation of Sharia and all
religious laws and to guarantee equal citizenship rights for all.
Sharia law is discriminatory
Sharia Councils and Muslim Arbitration Tribunals are
discriminatory, particularly against women and children, and in violation of universal human rights.
Sharia law is unfair and unjust in civil matters
Proponents argue that the implementation of Sharia is justified
when limited to civil matters, such as child custody, divorce and inheritance.
In fact, it is civil matters that are one of the main cornerstones of the
subjugation of and discrimination against women and children. Under Sharia law
a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man’s; a woman’s marriage contract
is between her male guardian and her husband. A man can have four wives and
divorce his wife by simple repudiation, whereas a woman must give reasons, some
of which are extremely difficult to prove. Child custody reverts to the father
at a preset age, even if the father is abusive; women who remarry lose custody
of their children; and sons are entitled to inherit twice the share of
daughters.
The voluntary nature of Sharia courts is a sham
Proponents argue that those who choose to make use of Sharia courts
and tribunals do so voluntarily and that according to the Arbitration Act
parties are free to agree upon how their disputes are resolved. In reality,
many of those dealt with by Sharia courts are from the most marginalised segments
of society with little or no knowledge of their rights under British law. Many,
particularly women, are pressured into going to these courts and abiding by their
decisions. More importantly, those who fail to make use of Sharia law or seek
to opt out will be made to feel guilty and can be treated as apostates and outcasts.
