The founder of the Germany National Council of Ex-Muslims, Iranian-born Mina Ahadi, has received death threats and will now be protected by German police.  Her group stands to “get involved in politics, oppose women wearing headscarfs and building plans for new mosques.”  Only the latter raises questions.

“We’ll stop honour killings, stop people being stoned to death… We want to make clear that the three million to three and a half million people from Islamic nations who live in Germany are people first and foremost, and should not be branded primarily as ‘Muslim,’” she said.

She is demanding that Germany do more to help women and girls who she says are oppressed by “political Islam”, denied boyfriends or trips to the swimming pool and ostracised if they become pregnant outside marriage.

The ex-Muslim groups said it wants to stop mosque groups speaking in the name of the entire community.

“Mainstream” Muslim groups are supporting the group’s right to advocate what they wish, but they are concerned with the growing nature of Islamphobia.  Aren’t we all.
