Excellent- More about Leaving Islam, Ex-Muslims and Zemiology
Ex-Muslims in Europe facing punishment from their former fellow Muslims is unacceptable in democratic societies that respect human rights and freedom of religion. "Leaving Islam, Ex-Muslims, and Zemiology" explores the reasons for leaving Islam and the consequences of apostasy, emphasizing the harm caused by Islamic practices and beliefs. The book calls for the decriminalization of apostasy from a zemiology perspective and encourages ex-Muslims to participate in the discussion on religious liberties and freedom of speech in Europe without fear of suppression or social exclusion.

The practice of ex-Muslims in Europe facing punishment from their former fellow Muslims is an unacceptable phenomenon in democratic societies that uphold respect for human rights and the freedom of religion or the choice to remain religiously unaffiliated. Fear of retribution by their former community should initiate an open, honest, and measured discussion on this pressing issue.
Ex-Muslims and Zemiology delves into the motivations behind and ramifications of intentionally leaving Islam, drawing from interviews with 80 ex-Muslims currently residing in Germany and Sweden. They express their belief that many aspects of Islam are detrimental and unjust. Apostasy is often viewed as treason or a crime in many parts of the Islamic world. Consequently, the book emphasizes the shift from viewing apostasy as a "crime" to emphasizing its "harm" and proposing the decriminalization of apostasy from a zemiology perspective.
The book highlights the potential for a broader shift in interest towards the democratic structures of Europe to enable ex-Muslims to participate in discussions regarding the guaranteed right to religious liberties and freedom of speech within the context of the apostasy law in Islam. This participation should be done without fear for their personal security and without facing potential suppression or social exclusion. The book will appeal to scholars with a keen interest in Islam, as well as in the conflicts that arise between religious values and an individual's aspirations and needs.
