On helping Ex Muslims. Spread far & wide so no one goes through isolation ever again. Life's too short to hate <3 youtube.com/watch?v=O1lnxU…

And while I do suspect #GermanyAttack suspect was not mentally stable based on some of his historic messages to me, he was almost certainly also radicalised. He became obsessed with other particularly Saudi ExMuslim activists and “exposing” them to other ExMuslims.

Crazy to hear @DrTalebJawad is the suspect in the mowing down of 4 at a German Christmas market. Even since 2017 there were Saudi ExMuslim activists who realised he was nuts & warned me/others about him. Radicalisation has no limits & doesn’t care if you’re religious or not.

Well put by @ImtiShams. We believe in the capacity of Muslims to learn, grow, and accept apostates. No one should be punished for thought crime. No one should be punished for leaving religion. #ApostasyDay

@SarahTheHaider Dr. Julie Ebner did some great work on it when we did a panel, has a lot of academic credibility, e.g book “Going Mainstream: how extremists are taking over”. @julie_renbe

@Rachel_Dixon97 @itvlondon Yep if attributed thanks :)

@imtishams Hiya, I’m from @itvlondon please could we use this in our coverage? Thanks so much

Shooting in Bethnal Green, Weavers Fields. Crime scene guys coming in, just months after a dude got stabbed one street down :/

@dilbertwinkle There’s 0 information about this at the moment. I’d be very surprised if it was political.

Shouldn’t matter, but #AxelRudakubana was born British, and raised heavily Catholic. Can you stop burning mosques please? (If his name was Muhammad Abdul, still wouldn’t be ok). Maybe protest our anaemic mental health & schooling services. Political disinformation.

@AlexanderGerko Will be libertarian mecca, with single person crypto-enabled Level 9,000 SAE transport pods and those 80% methhead california buses

Glad he's gotten sentenced & no one was injured inside the mosque. Leaving Islam (or any religion) doesn't protect you from being radicalised. Radicalisation is always enemy #1. globalnews.ca/news/9843868/m…

You’re right. These (working class, immigrant) Ex-Muslims with their ostracised, often illegal, sometimes deadly, always dangerous to their mental health - making money (the Illuminati?) off their trauma. Dog whistling Western academics dog whistling #exmuslim (got blocked lol)

Hope to get to the @Humanists_UK conference next year in Cardiff #Humanists2024 - not too far from sunny Bath. And hope to catch up with friends/colleagues including @andrewcopson @AdamRutherford @theAliceRoberts @jimalkhalili @imtishams.

This is a great conversation between #ExMuslim @imtishams and a very interesting and educated convert to Islam. I love these types of interactions! youtu.be/gNDcWW0Hw-s

The awesome @alomshaha on @LBC talking about @faith2faithless and our work helping those who have left faith - and the new census showing the move away from religion in the UK. #exmuslim #exjw #exchristian #humanrights

Nuanced, thoughtful movement building panel w @MoTheAtheist, @imtishams, @shirleedraper, and @malkie_schwartz. What stands out to me most are the throughlines, the way the experience of leaving high control religious groups is so, so analogous across religions and demographics.

Great to see fellow London company @TwipesUK in Buffalo with @forty3north ! Getting flashbacks to FLOX in 2021 😆

As an Ex-Muslim & fellow Humanist who spends much of my time in Buffalo & upstate NY, this is disturbing. Wishing @SalmanRushdie the human rights advocate and our @Humanists_UK patron a fast recovery. Ideas =/= people's lives, it's 2022. washingtonpost.com/national/autho…

Another day, another instance of punch down fascism by a majority towards a minority ❤️ I dislike talking about race on twitter but, also, dude, you’re a white Aussie. Please, do keep telling us how we’re self-hating for our own form of decolonisation. @cjwerleman #exmuslim
