Ali Sina is the pseudonym[1]: 100 of an Iranian-born Canadian ex-Muslim[2] activist and critic of Islam.[3] Sina is the founder of the anti-Muslim[4]: 161 website WikiIslam[4] and maintains a number of websites promoting what he refers to as "the truth" about Islam.[3] He is associated with the counter-jihad movement.[5]: 85
In 2001, Sina founded Faith Freedom International (FFI),[6] a popular anti-Muslim[7][8][9] counter-jihad website[5]: 47 that describes its aims as "unmask[ing] Islam and help[ing] Muslims leave [the faith]."[4] He later founded WikiIslam in 2006[4] and also began the alisina.org blog "dedicated to attacking Islam."[1]: 100
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.[3]
Sina is a board member of Pamela Geller's Stop Islamization of Nations,[5] an offshoot of the Stop Islamization of America, which the SPLC lists as a hate group. [10]
Sina has questioned Islam's validity as a religion and called it "an unreformable, violent, militant political cult".[2] He and his associates have used his platform to argue that Islam is an intrinsically evil and false religion and an "overgrown cult."[11] He has also made claims to offer $50,000 to anyone who can refute his accusation that Muhammad was "a narcissist, a misogynist, a rapist, a paedophile, a lecher, a torturer, a mass murderer, a cult leader, an assassin, a terrorist, a madman and a looter".[2] 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".[a][2]
Sina,[2] FFI,[7][8] and WikiIslam have been noted for their anti-Muslim rhetoric.[9] Sina has been cited as an example of "anti-Islamic fanaticism"[1]: 98 and is considered a virulently anti-Islamic activist.[2] He has been quoted by Geert Wilders, a Dutch far-right politician.[2]
