Secular student activists gather at the Union for national conference

Faisal Saeed Al Mutar lost his brother, his cousin and his best friend to al-Qaida militant forces.

As an Iraqi, he saw violence in his country. He saw religious leaders compete for positions in the government. He saw religious laws put into policy. And, during the buildup to the 2005 Iraqi election, he saw an opportunity to speak out against religious theocracy in his country.

Al Mutar became a secular activist.

This was something I liked about Columbus Ohio. It's a big college town and very open and secular as a city and ironically the state legislature is there and dominated by rubes and their silly ideas about the role of religion in government.
