Ali Sina (activist)
Ali Sina is the pseudonym of an Iranian-born Canadian ex-Muslim activist and critic of Islam. Sina is the founder of the anti-Muslim website WikiIslam and maintains a number of websites promoting what he refers to as the truth about Islam. He is associated with the counter-jihad movement.
Sina was born in Iran, raised as a non-practicing Muslim, and educated in Pakistan and Italy before settling in Canada. He has attributed his use of a pseudonym to security concerns.
Work
In 2001, Sina founded Faith Freedom International, a popular anti-Muslim counter-jihad website that describes its aims as "unmask Islam and help Muslims leave ." He later founded WikiIslam in 2006 and also began the alisina.org blog "dedicated to attacking Islam."He hoped to begin filming a biopic of Muhammad in 2013, claiming to have raised $2 million out of a total $10 million goal for the film as of 2012.
Sina is a board member of Pamela Geller's Stop Islamization of Nations, an offshoot of the Stop Islamization of America, which the SPLC lists as a hate group.
He defends his work as an attempt to promote peace, stating: “I want to win as friends and allies… That is the real victory.”
Views
Sina has positioned himself as strongly opposed to Islam, describing himself as "probably the biggest anti-Islam person alive." He has called Islam an "unreformable, violent, militant political cult" and argued that it is intrinsically evil rather than a legitimate religion. Sina has claimed that Muhammad suffered from a range of mental disorders and stated that "the only way to reform Islam is to throw away the Koran," comparing reform efforts to attempts to reform Nazism.Sina deemed the word "Muslim" to be synonymous with "stupid, barbarian, thug, arrogant, brain dead, zombie, hooligan, goon, shameless, savage and many other ignoble things."
