Our Positions

• Democracy

  The Free Muslims cautions that imposing democracy on the Middle East without first promoting secularism and destroying terrorism may lead to the creation of Islamic extremist states that will ultimately reject the democracy that brings them to power.

• Don't Blame the Jews or the Palestinians

  Another disturbing trend that is propagated by extremists and accepted by many naive Jews and Muslims is the blaming of all Muslim problems on Israel or the Jews and all Jewish problems on Palestinians or Muslims. There are numerous examples for this but most recently Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Blamed the Holocaust on Palestinians and some Muslims continue to blame 911 on a Jewish conspiracy.

• Economic Development

  The Free Muslims wants to integrate the community as a whole into the global market in order to improve people's standard of living and reduce the number of people who sympathize with extremism and terrorism because of their inability to gain a minimum level of prosperity.

• Israel/Palestine--One-State v Two State Soluion

  No issue evokes the passion of Muslims and Arabs as much as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is so important to Arabs and Muslims that every political group from Morocco to Indonesia that seeks legitimacy and a following, places the "liberation" of Palestine at the forefront of their agenda.

• Modern Islam

  The Free Muslims Coalition believes that the Koran only provides general principles of governance which leaves the faithful with substantial flexibility to modernize popular Muslim practices and beliefs.

• Terrorism

  The Free Muslims believes that fundamentalist Islamic terror represents one of the most lethal threats to the stability of the civilized world. There is no room for terrorism in the modern world and the United States should take a no-tolerance stance on terrorism in order to avoid another tragedy, along the lines of 9-11.

• Women's Rights

  The Free Muslims Coalition strongly believes that equality for Muslim women is essential to the development of the Muslim world and to the defeat of extremism.
