<\/param><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n

We are secular Muslims, and secular persons of Muslim societies. We are believers, doubters, and unbelievers, brought together by a great struggle, not between the West and Islam, but between the free and the unfree.<\/p>\n

We affirm the inviolable freedom of the individual conscience. We believe in the equality of all human persons.<\/p>\n

We insist upon the separation of religion from state and the observance of universal human rights.<\/p>\n

We find traditions of liberty, rationality, and tolerance in the rich histories of pre-Islamic and Islamic societies. These values do not belong to the West or the East; they are the common moral heritage of humankind.<\/p>\n

We see no colonialism, racism, or so-called \u201cIslamaphobia\u201d in submitting Islamic practices to criticism or condemnation when they violate human reason or rights.<\/p>\n

We call on the governments of the world to<\/p>\n

reject Sharia law, fatwa courts, clerical rule, and state-sanctioned religion in all their forms; oppose all penalties for blasphemy and apostacy, in accordance with Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human rights;<\/p>\n

eliminate practices, such as female circumcision, honor killing, forced veiling, and forced marriage, that further the oppression of women;<\/p>\n

protect sexual and gender minorities from persecution and violence;<\/p>\n

reform sectarian education that teaches intolerance and bigotry towards non-Muslims;<\/p>\n

and foster an open public sphere in which all matters may be discussed without coercion or intimidation.<\/p>\n

We demand the release of Islam from its captivity to the totalitarian ambitions of power-hungry men and the rigid strictures of orthodoxy.<\/p>\n

We enjoin academics and thinkers everywhere to embark on a fearless examination of the origins and sources of Islam, and to promulgate the ideals of free scientific and spiritual inquiry through cross-cultural translation, publishing, and the mass media.<\/p>\n

We say to Muslim believers: there is a noble future for Islam as a personal faith, not a political doctrine;<\/p>\n

to Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Baha\u2019is, and all members of non-Muslim faith communities: we stand with you as free and equal citizens;<\/p>\n

and to nonbelievers: we defend your unqualified liberty to question and dissent.<\/p>\n

Before any of us is a member of the Umma, the Body of Christ, or the Chosen People, we are all members of the community of conscience, the people who must chose for themselves.<\/p>\n
