British Muslims for Secular Democracy is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting secularism in the United Kingdom.[3][4] It was founded in 2006 by Nasreen Rehman and Yasmin Alibhai-Brown.[5] The group believes the diversity of views among British Muslims is not adequately represented to wider British society and that their image is distorted.[6][7] The organization has been described as "wholly unrepentant about their enthusiasm for Western society".[8]
