  • “Coming Out” Or “Staying in the Closet”– Deconversion Narratives of Muslim Apostates in Jordan
    MARBURG JOURNAL OF RELIGION, Vol. 18, No. 1 (2016) 1 “Coming Out” or “Staying in the Closet”– Deconversion Narratives of Muslim Apostates in Jordan Katarzyna Sidło Abstract This article describes a pilot study conducted between 22.03.2013 and 22.05.2013 among deconverts from Islam in Jordan. Due to the religious and cultural taboo surrounding apostasy, those who left Islam are notoriously difficult to access in a systematic way and constitute what is known in social research as a ‘hidden’ or ‘hard-to-reach’ population. Consequently, the non-probability sampling methods, namely an online survey, were used to recruit participants to the study. The objective of this research was threefold: (a) exploring the community of apostates from Islam in Jordan, (b) understanding the rationale behind decision to disaffiliate from Islam, and (c) analysing their narratives of deconversion. In addition, this paper examines the changes that occurred in respondents’ lives as a result of their apostasy and the degree of secrecy about their decision. Background The problem of apostasy from Islam is a complex and controversial one. The Quran itself does not explicitly name death as a prescribed penalty for abandoning Islam. The commonly agreed interpretation of the few verses (Arabic – ayats) that mention apostasy is to the effect that Allah will inflict punishment on apostates in the afterlife (Quran, 2:17, 3:87, 9:74, 18:291; usually invoked in this context is ayat from surah Al-Baqara (2:256) “There is no compulsion in religion”2). In the Sunna, on the other hand, we can find a number of hadiths (e.g.

Mar Thoma Church, part of the great tradition of the Malankara Syrian Church which had been formulated by St. Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, wielded education during the progressive period of Reformation in Kerala, as a mighty weapon for the liberation of the downtrodden masses from their stigmatized ignorance and backwardness. The establishment of St.Thomas College at Kozhencherry in 1953, as part of the altruistic missionary zeal of the church during Reformation, was the second educational venture under the auspices of Mar Thoma Church. The founding fathers, late Most Rev. Dr. Juhanon Mar Thoma Metropolitan and late Rev. K.T.Thomas Kurumthottickal, envisaged the college as an instrument for the realization of a bold vision that aimed at providing quality education to the people of the remote hilly regions of Eastern Kerala. The last six decades of the momentous historical span of the college has borne witness to the successful fulfilment of the vision of the founding fathers. The college has gone further into newer dimensions, innovations and endeavours which are impactful and relevant to the shaping of the lives of contemporary and future generations of youngsters.

Conclusions and Policy Recommendations 23 Select Bibliography 25 The Author 27 Abstract The debate concerning the future of Islam is ubiquitous. Among the Muslim contribu- tions to these discussions, traditionalist and Islamist arguments and perspectives are largely predominant. In the internal religious discourse on Islam, progressive thinkers play hardly any role at all. This bias is unwarranted – for a good number of Muslim intellectuals oppose traditionalist and Islamist ideas, and project a new and modern concept of Islam. Their ideas about the interpretation of the Qur’an, the reform of the Shari’a, the equality of men and women, and freedom of religion are often complex and frequently touch on political and societal taboos. As a consequence, Reformist Islamic thought is frequently ignored and discredited, and sometimes even stigma- tised as heresy. The present working paper identifies the protagonists, methods, and themes of Re- formist Islam, and discusses its potential as well as its limits.
