Statement of Principles

The Coalition for the Defense of Human Rights:

Condemns all current Jihads, and calls on these Governments to cease violating the rights of ethnic and religious minorities and peoples;

Believes that the United Nations is responsible to protect the rights and lives of religious and ethnic minorities and non-Islamist Muslims in Afganistan, Algeria, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia Sudan, and Syria;

Equates Radical Islamism, Jihad-ism, and Dhimmitude with Racism, Colonialism, and Imperialism;

Calls on Islamic scholars and intellectuals to reject the concepts of Fatah, Jihad, and Dhimmitude;

Calls on Islamic Governments to stop imposing the Shari'a on non-Muslims and guarantee the rights of all enlightened Muslim humanists and intellectuals;

Recognizing that repentance is the pathway to peace, not Jihad, the Coalition appeals to the Organization of the Islamic Conference - acting on behalf of its 57 members - to apologize for past Jihad crimes against humanity, including the brutal invasion and occupation of lands and peoples in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and Asia, and the mass enslavement of Africans and others, including Europeans.
