He returned to Secular Jihadists to talk about the allegations that led to his leaving American Atheists (he is currently suing the organization and his accusers for what he believes were false accusations and a wrongful dismissal), how he earned his new position, working with the UN to save the lives of ex-Muslims and others persecuted in oppressive countries, the current state of the movement, his plans for the future, and a really interesting discussion about Falun Gong.
