This week, we report state/church victories in Colorado and Pennsylvania. After hearing poems by feminist, activist and atheist Sherry Matulis— "Religion's Child" and "Benediction," set to music by Dan Barker— we talk with Pakistani-American Muhammad Syed, co-founder and president of Ex Muslims of North America (EXMNA), about the new and unique "Apostate Report" that surveyed hundreds of former Muslims who have left Islam.

The organization is only five years old, yet is growing faster than ever, with thousands of members and counting. EXMNA is currently conducting the widely covered #NormalizingDissent college campus tour with ex-Muslim speakers, and features a series of phenomenal, moving personal videos about those who dared to leave the Islamic faith that have gone viral. We are joined by Muhammad Syed, the president and co-founder of the organization. Recently, EXMNA attended the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) conference in Houston, where our very own Armin was part of a small group of ex-Muslims booted from a Starbucks for, well, being ex-Muslims. We will discuss where we came from, where we are today, and where we go from here. Don't miss this!

In this episode, we discuss Armin’s recent visit to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) with Ex-Muslims of North America (EXMNA), where he and a few other ex-Muslims were asked to leave a Starbucks at the Hilton simply for wearing t-shirts saying things like, “I’m an ex-Muslim. Ask me why.” We also discuss how ex-Muslims can engage with Muslims in debate. We also discuss ex-Ahmadi Muslims, the Judeo-Christian roots of Islam, Dan Gibson’s documentary “The Sacred City,” and a variety of other topics.

In this episode. Bo Bennett speaks with Muhammad Syed and Sarah Haider on the issue of criticizing Islam and analyzing some of the recent comments made by people such as Sam Harris, Bill Maher, Reza Aslan, and Ben Affleck. Muhammad Syed is a resident of the Washington, DC metro area. Due to the desire to better understand his faith, he embarked on a long period of research and study culminating in the inevitable conclusion that Islam, like other religions, is nothing more than bronze-age mythology. He decided to be public about his apostasy in 2007 in a desire to engage in open dialogue and break the apostasy taboo, encouraging other like-minded individuals to follow suit. In 2012, following the lead of the groups in London and Toronto, he started organizing an Ex-Muslim Community in the Washington, DC area. Sarah Haider, a recent transplant to DC, was born in Pakistan and raised in the US. She grew up on a diet of debating and reading which, as a surprise to no-one, led to her atheism. Muhammad and Sarah had a long-standing friendship based on their similar background and she was involved in launching the DC-area Ex-Muslim Community. Her tireless efforts were instrumental in creating Ex-Muslims of North America (EXMNA) and she has been involved in public relations with EXMNA from the start. Sarah has been active in atheist and secular circles. Inspired by FreeThoughtBlogs, she conceived the idea of ExMuslim Blogs.
