費薩爾· 薩伊德·阿爾木塔是一位作家及人道主義者。他曾是伊拉克的一名難民。他在2009年創(chuàng)建了“全球凡人人道主義運動”組織,以支持人權(quán)和個人價值的實現(xiàn)——在不依賴宗教的前提下。
He recently spoke to VOA about the importance of supporting those who want religion to be separated from government.
近期他對VOA談了對那些想要將宗教分離出政府的人們給予支持的重要性。
“There is a growing number of Arab millennials between 20 and 30 who advocating for human rights and secular liberal values,” Faisal said. “I think that the United States and the West should stand in solidarity with these people.”
“阿拉伯20-30歲的千禧一代中,擁護(hù)人權(quán)和凡人自由價值的人原來越多。”他說道。“我認(rèn)為美國和西方社會應(yīng)該堅定地和這些人站在一起”。

費薩爾說在中東政治是個難題。他解釋說,在許多阿拉伯國家,同性戀者可能被處死。
He does not believe Islam will accept homosexuality. He says both the Islamic State and Al-Qaida terror groups use their religious beliefs to justify killing homosexuals by throwing them from tall buildings.
他不相信伊斯蘭教會接受同性戀。他稱伊斯蘭政權(quán)和“基地組織”使用宗教信仰來證明將同性戀者從高樓上扔下去、殺死他們是正確的。
On his Facebook page, Faisal said if religions do not change to accept homosexual and women’s rights, “then religions need to die, not people.”
在費薩爾的臉書頁面上,他寫道:如果宗教不作出改變接受同性戀者和婦女的權(quán)益,“那么該死的是宗教,而不是人們”。
