| ==Notes== | |||
| Ali Sina has consistently claimed that Islam is the greatest danger Mankind is facing today. However, he also says that Islam is "a house of cards that will collapse if sufficiently pushed", and that we may see the end of Islam within the next few decades. He has compared Islam both to ] and ], claiming that it will either collapse from within as the former did or will have an apocalyptic end like the latter, after causing the death of millions and even billions in a nuclear Armageddon. . It is his belief that if enough people start voicing their criticism, Islam will fall the way communism and Nazism fell. . | |||
| {{notelist}} | |||
| Sina believes that modern communication technology such as the Internet may prove a turning point no less crucial to Islam today than the printing press was to Christianity. "This is a new dawn for the followers of Muhammad," says Sina. "This is the beginning of the renaissance of Islamic world. And this renaissance is going to take place now and in our own lifetime." | |||
| Despite the above expression of hope and prediction of a better future for Muslims, he has made remarks about Islam and Muslims that can be seen as offensive. He has written: | |||
| <blockquote>“Muslims are paranoid, have victim mentality, feel humiliated, have explosive personality, are vengeful, lack empathy, are oblivious of the pain that they cause to others, lack conscience, consider themselves superior to others, demand preferential treatments while deny the basic human rights to others, are scornful and abusive of others but expect respect and undeserving recognition, lack self- esteem but are most concerned about their image. …Muslims do not value personal integrity and do not respect the rights of other people. None of the so-called Islamic human rights organizations are concerned about the abysmal rights of non-Muslims in Islamic countries and not even about the human rights abuses of nominal Muslims in Islamic countries. They pup up only in non-Muslim democracies and their sole mission is to wreak havoc when someone criticizes Islam, demand apologies and resignations and make sure that Muslims are treated preferentially.</blockquote> | |||
| <blockquote>Muslims have grandiose sense of self-importance and expect to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements. They are envious of others and believe that others are envious of them. They are arrogant and show haughty behaviors and attitudes. They suffer from chronic lack of confidence and are fundamentally dissatisfied, but mask this with violence and a ruthless exploitative personality, victimizing often those who are most vulnerable and can't retaliate. These were traditionally their wives and children, but now with terrorism, they can victimize everyone and enjoy the sensation of power that this gives them. They seek respect and importance by instilling fear. Their brazen and reckless behavior covers up for a depressive, anxious interior. Their souls are barren landscapes of misery and fears. You may find individual Muslims who do not fall into this mold. But we are talking about general traits and not exceptions.</blockquote> | |||
| <blockquote>Muslims are walking scar tissues. They collectively suffer from narcissistic personality disorder because they have entered in Muhammad's psychotic bubble universe, think like him and behave like him. The more they emulate their role model and are influenced by his psychotic mind, the more pathological they become. However, since the narcissistic personality disorder of Muslims is a reflection of Muhammad's psychosis, once they leave Islam and are no more influenced by its nefarious effect, they can recover, albeit it requires effort and self-awareness. Likewise, those who convert to Islam, and to the extent that they follow Muhammad, acquire his disorder, become narcissists and even dangerous." </blockquote> | |||
| In another place he has stated "Islamic culture is an oxymoron, while Islamic terrorism is redundancy" | |||

Ali Sina has accused Islam to be the only religion, beside the White Supremacists, (]) to oppose the ] claiming that many teachings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad violate the rule of "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you". Mr. Zakaria’s response has been "The “Golden Rule” is not universal, not self-evident, subjective, inadequate and not absolute...it is flawed as a fundamental principle. At best it is just a moral advice to individuals to exercise self-restraint. Therefore, the allegations against the final Prophet (SAW) cannot be levied."

Iranian-born Canadian activist and critic of Islam For other uses, see Ali Sina (disambiguation) and Ibn Sina Peak.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.
Work
In 2001, Sina founded Faith Freedom International (FFI), 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.
Views
Sina has questioned Islam's validity as a religion and called it "an unreformable, violent, militant political cult". He and his associates have used his platform to argue that Islam is an intrinsically evil and false religion and an "overgrown cult." 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". 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".
Reception
Sina, FFI, and WikiIslam have been noted for their anti-Muslim rhetoric. Sina has been cited as an example of "anti-Islamic fanaticism" and is considered a virulently anti-Islamic activist. He has been quoted by Geert Wilders, a Dutch far-right politician.

Notes
- As of 2017, Sina's website stated: "I find the word 'Muslim' very derogatory and insulting. It is synonymous to stupid, barbarian, thug, arrogant, brain dead, zombie, hooligan, goon, shameless, savage and many other ignoble things. I don't know whether this most disgusting word elicits the same meanings in you or not. So when I want to show my despise of someone I call him 'Muslim'. But because Muslims are stupid, they don't know all these things and they are proud of this name. This is a win/win situation because I insult them and they are happy and thank me for it. Isn't that smart?"

Although clearly secularist in his perspective, Sina and his associates claim that they do not oppose belief and religion per se, but hate, on which, in their opinion, Islam feeds. Considering Islam a 'false religion' and an 'overgrown cult' that is intrinsically evil, they urge its adherents to repudiate it.
