Overview

Sina is the founder of Faith Freedom International and WikiIslam.[3] He hoped to begin filming a biopic of Muhammad in 2013, claiming in 2012 to have raised $2 million out of a total $10 million goal for the film.[2]

Writing in the Asia Times as Spengler, David P. Goldman argued that Islam was both a religion and political ideology and asserted that Sina was incorrect for not accepting Islam as a religion.[4] Munawar Anees considered Sina to be among the writers on the internet producing Islamophobic literature[5] while Salah Hassan named Sina among a triad of apostates that he deemed "examples of anti-Islamic fanaticism."[1]:98

The Islamophobic literature of the current decade, for which the Internet is a fertile breeding ground, has the omnipresence of former 'Muslims' (e.g. Ayaan Hirsi Ali , Wafa Sultan and Walid Shoebat) and others with pseudonyms (such as Ibn Warraq or Ali Sina) who have attempted to present neo-Orientalism in a theological garb — as opposed to Orientalism as a way of depicting people of the East in a condescending manner ('the other,' 'the savages').
