In today’s political and social climate, it is essential that Muslims opposed to Islamism have a platform. We advance today’s most urgent conversations through the media – amplifying anti-Islamist Muslim voices and lending a anti-Islamist Muslim perspective to issues important to all of us. For too long, the wrong voices have represented our community in the media. We are taking our rightful place in the conversation, and educating the public about our perspective.
It’s about the love of America and a love of the faith of Islam.
AIFD is confronting the ideology of political Islam and openly countering the common belief that the Muslim faith is collectively rooted to the concept of the Islamic State (Islamism – a popular reform movement advocating the reordering of government and society in accordance with laws prescribed by Islam). We stand firmly for universal human rights – including gender equality, freedom of conscience, and freedom of speech and expression.
