“Omer” (a pseudonym) was born and raised in Pakistan, but his life was threatened when he expressed doubts about the inerrancy of Islam. He survived a manhunt by the Pakistani government, and now lives as a refugee in Nepal. Omer is the first Pakistani atheist to reach 100,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel. He has been accepted by Canada as a permanent resident, but exit permit issues mean Omer cannot leave Nepal for an indeterminate period. You may contribute to supporting Omer (who is not allowed to work in Nepal) by making a donation to CFIC.

Omer puts the OM in OMG!!!
ReplyDeleteKathmandu if you can? I don't think he knows what he's getting into by choosing Calgary, though...
I propose an exchange of those in Canada, whether native-born or immigrants/refugees, who harbour regressive views and values, for people like Omer! I think the former would be much happier in the Jannah from which the latter (barely) escaped... I wouldn't stay anywhere that didn't align with my worldview, and I wonder why anyone would, given the choice...
