The as of yet un-named organization has been created by Deeyah and her friends to provide progressive and like minded people with a platform to communicate with each other in a positive, understanding and supportive environment. A place completely free from judgment allowing people to speak openly about issues we are all affected by on different levels. However, any sexist, racist and homophobic attitudes expressed will not be tolerated at all.You can now join the official online forum for this new organization.

In Deeyah's own words: http://www.freemuse.org/sw14311.asp
"I initially intended it to be for young Muslims and young people of immigrant background living in Europe and the US. However I have decided to try and create a platform where like minded people can come together to air their concerns and issues regardless of race or religious background. The purpose of this organisation will be to provide support for open-minded progressive people and give them a place to come together. A place where they will know that theyre not alone and that there are in fact other people out there who experience feelings of fear, feel disenfranchised, and who are being misrepresented and judged (from without AND within their own communities). No prejudice, intolerance or homophobia will be accepted in this group . The point of this is for like-minded people to provide each other with support and to share our thoughts and experiences in an environment free from judgment."
