Engaging in the war of ideas against the ideology of political Islam.

Our Work

AIFD is actively confronting the ideology of political Islam and openly countering the common belief that the Muslim faith is inextricably rooted to the concept of the Islamic State (Islamism). We stand firmly for universal human rights – including gender equality, freedom of conscience, and freedom of speech and expression.

Our programs focus on engaging Muslims – especially Muslim youth and young adults – and non-Muslim allies in identifying and implementing concrete solutions to Islamism.

Solving the problems

Now is the time – more than ever – to hold our Muslim community accountable to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Just as we deserve and seek full protection of our rights, so must we protect the rights of the most vulnerable within and outside of our communities – including women, religious and non-religious minorities, dissidents and those disenfranchised by theocracy and fascism.

AIFD is a convener and co-founder of the Muslim Reform Movement.

“God does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves”

لَهُ مُعَقِّبَاتٌ مِّن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَحْفَظُونَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ ۗ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ ۚ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِ مِن وَالٍ

Quran 13:11
