Tolerance vs. Justice

Are all religions the same? Does multiculturalism mean accepting unjust and inhumane practices brought by minorities? see more...

Who We Are

Purpose and Vision

Set My People Free is a network of individuals, churches and organizations working for the freedom of converts from Islam to live and practice their new faith, to experience equality and justice in their home countries.

We seek to give the Muslim people the freedom to change their faith, to live out and practice their new belief, and to experience freedom, justice and equality in their homeland as non-Muslims.

Set My People Free is a nonviolent movement seeking freedom, justice and equality for converts reconciliation – not victory, and is committed to the life and teaching of Jesus Christ.

Goals

FREEDOM for Muslim people:

To change their religion or belief
To worship and practice their new faith
To raise their children in their new faith
To marry (for women from a Muslim background to marry non-Muslim men)
To have freedom, justice and equality

ABOLISH the crime of Apostasy by removal of:

Punishment of death for the act of apostasy
Punishment of confiscation of the wealth of the convert
Nullifying his or her marriage
Punishment of disqualifying him/her of the right of the custody of his/her children
Punishment of depriving the apostate from his/her right of their inheritance
Punishment of discipline (alta'zir)

Means to Achieve our Goals

Raising awareness of the state of converts through media:

Brochures
Articles in the press (write articles for newspapers; make cases of persecuted converts known, cases of injustice)
Internet (blogs,videos)
TV (interviews on Christian and secular stations)
Protests

Advocacy for converts:

Law – need lawyers
Existing laws – work to change them
Help converts in difficulty and under persecution

Lobbying politically:

Lobbying for the freedom for Muslim converts. We need Christian/secular politicians to lobby and to help converts under persecution to live and practice their new faith freely.

Theology (knowledge of Christian and Islamic theology):

Our Christian theology urges us to deal with injustice in society and to support our Christian brothers and sisters coming from a Muslim background who are facing persecution.
Expose the Islamic ideology which prevents conversion and freedom of religion and promotes inequality.

Prayer and support for converts:

Start prayer cells, share prayer requests and information about the persecuted converts with others.

Partnering with others:

Set My People Free is a member of the Religious Liberty Partnership.
