Kamal Nawash formed the Free Muslim Coalition Against Terrorism in May 2004. FMCAT has a website where Muslims can report suspicious activity.
In May of 2005, the Free Muslims organized the first ever Muslim lead rally against terrorism. The rally was endorsed by more the 80 organizations and received substantial media coverage.
In June of 2005, the work of the Free Muslims was recognized by the U.S. government when the White House appointed the president f the Free Muslims, Kamal Nawash, to represent the United States before the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Kamal Nawash addressed leaders of Europe, and the former soviet republics in a speech on tolerance.
More recently the Free Muslims Coalition has condemned the reaction of American Muslim organizations and Muslim governments to the unfavorable depiction of Prophet Mohammad in European newspapers.
Unlike many other Muslim organizations, FMCAT does not maintain a pro-Palestinian stance (nor pro-Israel). In addition, they support the dismantling and disarming of Hezbollah.
