Simon Cottee, a senior lecturer in Criminology in SSPSSR, interviewed 35 former Muslims in Britain and Canada as part of the first major sociological study of ex-Muslims in the west. The findings will be published in The Apostates: When Muslims Leave Islam in February by Hurst & Co., and can be previewed here: http://news.nationalpost.com/2015/01/02/for-muslim-apostates-giving-up-their-faith-can-be-terrifying-dangerous-and-alienating/
Dr Cottee’s research was supported by a grant from the Economic & Social Research Council.
