The Institute for the Secularisation of Islamic Society (ISIS) is an organization of scholars and writers that promotes the ideas of rationalism, secularism, democracy and human rights within Islamic society. It is part of the Center for Inquiry.
Founded in 1998 by Muslim dissenters, apostates and scholars, the best known being Ibn Warraq, the group aims to combat theologically driven fanaticism, violence and terrorism. The organization does not promote any belief system or religious dogma but rather it subscribes to the rule of secular law, freedom of speech and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
ISIS' chair is currently Ibn Warraq.
