"Free Muslims Coalition" It's pro-modernity, pro-equality, anti-violence.
I ran across this apparently new group. They look like very interesting people with some good ideas.

The Free Muslims Coalition is a nonprofit organization made up of American Muslims and Arabs of all backgrounds who feel that religious violence and terrorism have not been fully rejected by the Muslim community in the post 9-11 era.
The Free Muslims was created to eliminate broad base support for Islamic extremism and terrorism and to strengthen secular democratic institutions in the Middle East and the Muslim World by supporting Islamic reformation efforts.

The Free Muslims promotes a modern secular interpretation of Islam which is peace-loving, democracy-loving and compatible with other faiths and beliefs. The Free Muslims' efforts are unique; it is the only mainstream American-Muslim organization willing to attack extremism and terrorism unambiguously. Unfortunately most other Muslim leaders believe that in terrorist organizations, the end justifies the means.

1. Good for these Muslims!!
Now I am going to have to show this site to my mother who keeps telling me that there isn't such an outcry from Muslims against terrorism. I keep telling her that there is but the media keeps squelching it. Or just momentarily mentioned before they go to the "real" news.

2. Thank you much for this link. Visited the webpage...and it's wonderful.
I'm going to recommend this webpage to all my friends here in San Francisco, not only to my Muslim friends.

Thank you. Assalmu Alaikum.

3. You're welcome. Our own RW fundy politicos could take a lesson from
these folks.

The Coalition believes that promoting a society where women are seen as independent thinking partners in a household rather than servants who merely take orders from their husbands is essential to the development of democratic society.
