Scholars launch 'Infidel Awareness Month,' to run annually from September 11 to October 7
By reclaiming and analyzing terms like "infidel" (kafir), the daily releases aim to dismantle the public's blind spots regarding how extremist groups categorize non-Muslim populations.
A group of historians, former Muslims, scholars, and intellectuals have launched the first annual Infidel Awareness Month, from September 11 through October 7. The initiative, founded by historian Richard Landes and a network of researchers, philosophers, and filmmakers, aims to shed light on the political and ideological aspects of jihadist movements. The campaign specifically targets the period bridging the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the 10th anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel.
