Ismail Mohamed Biography

Ismail Mohamed is one of the most popular and richest Human Rights Activist who was born on June 9, 1983 in Alexandria, Alexandria Governorate, Egypt.

Ismail Mohamed (Alexandria, 9 June 1983) is an Egyptian atheist activist, blogger and producer of The Black Ducks programme (برنامج البط الأسود Barnamaj al-Bati al’Aswad, or al-Bath as-Sawda for short). He is also a contributing editor to Arab Atheists Magazine (مجلة الملحدين العرب Majalat al-Mulhadayn al-e-Arab). His last name is sometimes transcribed as Mohammed.

Mohamed began studying the topic of apostasy in Islam when numerous online atheists were imprisoned following accusations of “insulting religion”, which is subject to Egypt’s anti-blasphemy law. Although he was a liberal Muslim and knew little about atheism, he questioned whether the arrests were fair. In the process, he explored atheism and the sciences, including a materialist view of evolution which he was never taught in school. “The science is sure the story of humans is not Adam and Eve. This forced me to search. And I was surprised with many things. I started to study the religions of the Middle East. I read the history of Abrahamic religions.” He also learnt the English language in 2012, which granted access to a lot more information such as the writings of Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins — as well as Egyptian secularist thinkers. He left Islam in 2012 and eventually came out as an atheist to his parents, who took some time to accept it, but embraced the debate and started questioning parts of Islam themselves, while still holding on to the religion.

Ismail Mohamed was born in Alexandria on 9 June 1983. At the age of 5, the family moved to Jordan, and returned to Egypt after 9/11. (Mohamed was aged 18; he recalled that in Jordan, many people regarded Osama bin Laden as a ‘Muslim hero’ back in the day). His father didn’t actively practice Islam, and although he lacked a college education, he had a passion for science and encouraged Ismail to read books and gather information online when the Internet emerged. Unlike Mohamed’s father, his uncle, who helped raise him, was a devout man who took him to the mosque and forced him to memorise the Quran. During his adolescence, Mohamed’s love for music, especially Michael Jackson’s songs, came into conflict with his religious fervour and his community.

Mohamed stated that he believes the El-Sisi administration is open to atheism, citing media reports of the president speaking in favour of atheists in a meeting with intellectuals in January 2015. “I believe El-Sisi understands the backwardness we’ve reached by way of prior religious speech. [El-Sisi] saved us from the darkness of Muslim Brotherhood rule,” Al-Ahram quoted Mohamed as saying. He further advocated the adoption of a set of laws, such as a civil marriage law which would enable interfaith marriages or atheists to marry outside of the church or the mosque.

At the 22–24 July 2017 Secular Conference in London, themed “International Conference on Freedom of Conscience and Expression”, Mohamed was scheduled to speak during the panel discussion on the documentary Islam’s Non-Believers. Although he was granted a visa by the British authorities, Egyptian authorities stopped him at the airport and prevented him from travelling to the UK. In response, the Conference Organising Committee drafted a brief resolution, adopted by the attendees, which stated: “The International Conference on Freedom of Conscience and Expression is outraged to learn that the Egyptian government has prevented Ismail Mohamed from speaking at our conference, where he would have been a crucial voice. We demand that the Egyptian government allow Ismail freedom of movement and end his persecution and that of all freethinkers.” At the subsequent award ceremony (31:32), Mohamed was given an award for his efforts to emancipate non-believers in Egypt and the wider MENA region. Maryam Namazie commented: “We stand with you, Ismail, always and forever.” In his absence, the award was accepted by Imad Iddine Habib on Mohamed’s behalf.
