Islam - Writers against Islamism

We need a lot more of this.

A group of writers - predominantly from Muslim backgrounds - have made their position on Islamism clear in this new manifesto:

After having overcome fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism, the world now faces a new totalitarian global threat: Islamism.

We, writers, journalists, intellectuals, call for resistance to religious totalitarianism and for the promotion of freedom, equal opportunity and secular values for all.

The signatories are as set out below:

Ayaan Hirsi Ali Chahla Chafiq Caroline Fourest Bernard-Henri Lévy Irshad Manji Mehdi Mozaffari Maryam Namazie Taslima Nasreen Salman RushdieAntoine SfeirPhilippe ValIbn Warraq


More please.
