It is a start at least. Only time will tell how it all works out. I wish them well.
Young Muslims begin dangerous fight for the right to abandon faith
A group of young Muslim apostates launches a campaign today, the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America, to make it easier to renounce Islam.
The provocative move reflects a growing rift between traditionalists and a younger generation raised on a diet of Dutch tolerance.
The Committee for Ex-Muslims promises to campaign for freedom of religion but has already upset the Islamic and political Establishments for stirring tensions among the million-strong Muslim community in the Netherlands.
Ehsan Jami, the committee’s founder, who rejected Islam after the attack on the twin towers in 2001, has become the most talked-about public figure in the Netherlands. He has been forced into hiding after a series of death threats and a recent attack. Read more.

Committee for Ex-Muslims to be launched in the Netherlands on Tuesday
“We want to support people who want to change their religion, but their parents, their society have them clasped in it and won’t let them out,” Ehsan Jami, 22, said in an interview with The Associated Press on Monday. “They would realize that they are not standing alone.”
Jami knew he was making himself a target for radical Islamists when he decided to launch the Committee for Ex-Muslims. Five months and three physical assaults later, his organization is officially being launched,
The latest attack on Jami last month, when he was struck and pushed to the ground at a shopping center by three youths, was widely publicized in the Netherlands. The assailants were arrested, but Jami was forced into hiding, and receives police protection.
He said an earlier attack was even more dangerous, when he was surrounded by a large group of youths at night and had a knife held to his throat. Continue.
Death threats and violent attacks all in the name of Islam the Religion of Peace.
