Faith Freedom International (FFI) is a website that is critical of Islam.[1][2] FFI identifies itself as "a grassroots worldwide movement of ex-Muslims and all those who are concerned about the rise of the Islamic threat". According to the website, FFI was founded by an Iranian ex-Muslim residing in Canada, going by the pseudonym of "Ali Sina." On the website, Ali Sina has issued a standing challenge that he will remove the FFI website if proven wrong on a number of issues.
Faith Freedom International is listed by Richard Dawkins in the Appendix of his book, The God Delusion, as one of the few Islamic related "...friendly address[es], for individuals needing support in escaping from religion"[3] (although it was removed from the website following protest from other ex-muslims). FFI's mission statement is included in Ibn Warraq's book Leaving Islam: Apostates Speak Out.[4]

According to a 2002 study by professor Jonathan Zittrain and Benjamin Edelman of Harvard University, Saudi Arabia had banned the website.[5] Ranking.com and Alexa list faithfreedom.org among the top 25,000 websites as measured by traffic.[6][7]
Ali Sina claims to have received death threats from Muslims- two imams in India have offered a reward of USD 20,000 (or 1 million Rupees) for anyone who kills Sina.[8][9] The site itself has been hacked and subject to DDOS attacks several times since the website opened 12 years ago, most recently in January 2010.[9][10]
