We do not necessarily endorse or agree with the tone or contents of all the websites on our Links page. We simply try to give a comprehensive list of sites critical of Islam.

(1) Answering Islam (http://www.answering-islam.org)

This is not only the best Christian website, but probably the best website of all Internet, devoted to refuting, and criticising Islamic claims, doctrines, history, and the Koran. It is well-documented, and is one of the few anti-Islamic websites that is very careful to give the proper references, and thus one has all the more confidence in its pronouncements. It is also very fair in that it gives ample space to Muslims to reply, and scrupulously removes any material that is shown to be erroneous.

(2) http://www.theKoran.com

Very much a Christian perspective, but has useful information.

(3) Project: Open Book (http://www.domini.org/openbook/)

An excellent watchdog, keeping an eye on the persecution of Christians in the Islamic World. Devotes some pages to the history of and theory behind the persecutions.

(4) Sword of Truth (http://www.swordoftruth.com)

Excellent Hindu website; good material on the writings of the great Anwar Shaikh, and Islam in India.

(5) http://www.voi.org

Hindu website, with on-line books, by K.Elst, R.Swarup, Sita Ram Goel, critical of Islam.

(6) The Freethought Mecca (http://www.geocities.com/freethoughtmecca/home.htm)
is a highly personal, and very funny, and totally irreverent look at Islam and Christianity. Much needed humour on the subject of humorless Muslims.

(7) Muslim Freethinkers (http://www.geocities.com/muslimfreethinkers/index.htm)

Good review of Ibn Warraq’s Why I am Not a Muslim, and some articles very critical of Islam. Seems to be the brains behind the Islamic Humanists Society (see next entry).

(8) What is Islam All About? (http://www.hindutva.org/anwarshaikh/islam)

A Hindu site devoted to Anwar Shaikh’s highly original and very critical articles on Islam, Islamic Imperialism, Islamic violence and sex.

(9) http://www.flex.com/~jai/satyamevajayate

A Hindu site with some good critical articles, and important links concerning Islamic violence against the Armenians.

(10) The Islamic Monitor (http://www.geocities.com/islamic_monitor/index.html)

"The rising influence of Islam in the West will be the greatest threat to our rights to freedom of speech and religion. Moslem pressure groups are seeking to limit how we may read, talk, and write and even threaten our livelihoods."

(11) New Horizons
(http://www.cfiwest.org/newhorizons)

Iranian outreach program in Southern California.

(12) Homa.org
(http://www.homa.org)

The Dr. Homa Darabi Foundation.

(13) Golshan Society (http://www.golshan.com)
(formerly Rational Thinking.tripod)

Scrutinizes Islam with Rational Thinking. It rejects time-honored beliefs that cannot stand the probing of reason. It asks questions and encourages independent thinking. It upholds reason as the sole measure of truth. It promotes unity of humankind, equality between men and women, abolition of prejudices and freedom from dogmatism and blind faith.

(14) Left Shoe News + Human Rights Abuses in Islamic Countries (HRAIC) (http://www.hraic.org) is a multi-ethnic, multi-religious organization committed to combating abuses in Muslim countries. While Amnesty International is doing an excellent job world-wide, we see the need to monitor the implementation of Islamic law. Shariah has many harsh maxims addressed to apostates, women, thieves, adulterers, drinkers and non-Muslim minorities. Convener Robert E. Burns, GDIS (Graduate Diploma in Islamic Studies).

(15) Faith Freedom (http://www.faithfreedom.org)

This site is an updated version of Dr Ali Sina's original Rational Thinking site. The whole site has been attractively re-designed, and Dr Sina has taken on board a whole host of new dynamic writers, like Fatemolla, Abul Kasem, Tahir Gora, et al. Highly Recommended.

(16) Muslims and Islamic Faith (http://www.muslimsandislamic.faithweb.com/)

Writings about ideological, political, economic, cultural, and scientific structures which help us understand the world, so that we could make our world a better place for all of us.

(17) Committee to Defend Women's Rights in the Middle East - CDWRME
(http://www.middleeastwomen.org)

Committee to Defend Women's Rights in the Middle East - CDWRME- has been formed to promote women's rights and equality in the Middle East. We believe that secularism and the separation of religion from the state are the basic pre-conditions for women's liberation in the Middle East. We believe in the universality of women's rights and combat the idea of cultural relativism that justifies women's oppression under the rule of Islamic law and Islamic governments. We try to create a network of women's rights activists in the Middle Eastern countries, we campaign around women's civil rights and individual freedom, and support the just struggle of women in the Middle East.

(18) Alevism.net (htp://www.alevism.net)

Alevism is a humanistic minority belief form Anatolia (Turkey) and surroundings. It has also an Islamic Branch which differs from the well known Sunni and Shia branches (Islamic Alevism/ Alevi-Islam). [Please note that the alevi's are not 'alawis'.] Its secular views are often labeled as the 'Enlightment of Islam' and do often contradict the dogmatic views of the other Turkish 'Sunni'-Moslems, which often led to opressions. Islamic Alevism is well known in Turkey. Alevi's are the backbone of Turkey's 'democratic forces'. www.alevism.net is all about alevi's and their culture. The focus-pages are: www.alevism.net/religious.html about Islamic Alevism. In that section and the section 'Political Issues' you may read more about how 'nationalistic religiosity' leads to oppression, and what in fact true Islam should be from an Alevi point.

(19) Is Islam Really A Peaceful Religion? - What The Koran Says (http://www.broadcaster.org.uk/section2/koranlinks.htm)

Looks at both the Koran and Bible to see if there are any passages which could incite anyone to violence .

(20) IslamistWatch.org http://www.islamistwatch.org/

IslamistWatch is a catalog of the writings, beliefs, motives, and methods of the Islamist movement. While Islamists have many goals, the ultimate one is establishing a worldwide Caliphate (Islamic state): to overthrow and destroy democratic governments across the globe and replace them with a single Taliban-style Islamic fundamentalist theocracy. There would be one all-powerful head of state, the Caliph. Individuals would be governed by strict Shariah Law, religion would be for Allah alone, and personal liberty limited by Islamic jurisprudence. The writings on these pages are genuine, written by the Islamists themselves. Many of the major works that provide the ideological framework and overall goals for Islamist groups like Al Qaeda, Al Fuqra, Islamic Jihad, Abu Sayyaf, the Muslim Brotherhood, Lashkar Jihad, Jemaah Islamiyah and many others are represented here, in excerpt and, where possible, in their entirety.

The editors of IslamistWatch.org hope that the material on this site will be read with care by non-Muslims concerned about the current state of affairs on the earth. Muslims are most welcome to read this material as well. Everyone is invited: students, researchers, political figures, journalists, clerics. Is there a greater political and theologic conflict at the present time on the whole globe? The views of the authors reprinted here DO NOT coincide with the views of the editors of IslamistWatch.org. The editors believe that by wide availability of these texts, the Islamist exhortation to "kill the Mushrikun wherever you find them" will be properly exposed and opposed.

(21) United States Committee for a Free Lebanon www.freelebanon.org

The United States Committee for a Free Lebanon ("USCFL") is a non-profit, non-sectarian think tank, founded in 1997 by prominent New York based investment banker and financier Ziad K. Abdelnour, along with 56 other Lebanese American activists, to educate the American public as to Lebanon's strategic and moral significance as an ally of the United States and an outpost of Western values in the Middle East.

Their Mission: The USCFL holds that the United States has vital interests in the Middle East and sees the region, with its profusion of dictatorships, radical ideologies, existential conflicts, border disagreements, political violence, and weapons of mass destruction as a major source of problems for the Free World.

Toward this end, the USCFL seeks to help shape the intellectual climate in which U.S. foreign policy is made by addressing key issues regarding the region in an accessible way and for a sophisticated public. The USCFL also functions as a resource for individuals and institutions seeking not only accurate and reliable information, but also new and fresh perspectives, combined with innovative and effective solutions, for Lebanon and the Lebanese people. Consequently, the USCFL serves as a vehicle to disseminate "intelligence" and "out-of-the box" ideas to institutions and policymakers in the United States and abroad that are capable of exercising political, economic, military or spiritual leverage to bring these abuses to an end and hold those responsible to account. The USCFL finally mobilizes interested parties for the purpose of protests and media campaigns to combat the injustice and corruption that is now prevailing in the post-Taif Lebanese regime and its benefactors.

(22) Middle East Intelligence Bulletin http://www.meib.org/

Middle East Intelligence Bulletin (MEIB) is a free monthly publication, dedicated to providing informed analysis of political and strategic developments in Lebanon, Syria & the Middle East.

(23) Il Corano e l'Islam tra fede e fantatismo http://coranoislam.supereva.it

An Anti-Radical-Islamic site in the great Italian tradition of Orianna Fallaci and Silvio Berlusconi. Worth checking out even if your Italian is confined to Dean Martin songs.

(24) Apostates of Islam (http://www.apostatesofislam.com)

A website created especially for the growing number of ex-Muslims. We hear ad nauseam that Islam is the fastest growing religion, but we rarely hear of those Muslims who are also rapidly abandoning a dangerous cult we call Islam. It is hoped that this site will encourage others to come out of the closet.

(25) SaudHouse.com (www.saudhouse.com)

Saudhouse.com is an organization founded by secular Saudis with the aim of changing peacefully, but with high pressure means, the rule of al-Saud in Saudi Arabia.
