ISLAMOPHOBIC INDIVIDUALS: Nonie Darwish

Nonie Darwish

Nonie Darwish is the founder of Former Muslims United. She is a self-styled “former Moslem,” has written that “Islam is cruel, anti-women, anti-religious freedom and anti-personal freedom in general.”

After the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombings, Darwish wrote, “The existence of nice, educated Muslims should also never blind us from seeing the deep problems within the ideology of Islam and its jihadist goals.’ She also falsely asserted, “Islam is the only religion that requires its followers to kill those who do not believe in Allah, and to take revenge in the name of Allah.”

During a speech in 2011, Darwish asserted that “Islam should be fought and should be conquered and defeated and annihilated.”

She told the New York Times: “A mosque is not just a place for worship. It’s a place where war is started, where commandments to do jihad start, where incitements against non-Muslims occur. It’s a place where ammunition was stored.”

In June 2014, Darwish stated, “The so called ‘moderate Muslims’ who advocate that the US Constitution is Sharia compliant, are dangerous because they are stealth jihadists who have no loyalty to the US Constitution and what America is all about.”
