  • Leaving Religion project, looking to speak with London Based ex-muslims
     OP - October 31, 2014, 11:38 PM
    Hello

    My name is Kara Fox, and I am a​ multimedia journalist based in Southeast London.

    I am currently working on my Masters​ of Digital Journalism​ at Goldsmiths College and am doing a​ feature​ piece​ of work​ as part of my degree on people who decide to leave religion​, or in many cases people who leave the ultra orthodox version or sect of their religion.

    In addition to exploring people who leave certain sects of Christianity (fundamentalists/Born again) , Judaism (Hasim, ultra-orthodox) and other religions, I am also interested in exploring people who have left the Muslim faith here in the UK.

    I am writing here to you all as I thought this might be a good place to open up a conversation.

    I understand the sensitivity of some of these subject, and am not interested in being intrusive but rather informative and academic in my research. I am particularly sensitive to this topic as I left my religion and religious community at a young age as well.

    Of course there are many posts here on this forum with some incredible stories of strength and interest to me, however I will post here first to see if anyone is interested in speaking with me directly. Ideally I would be interested in a in person interview in which you would be able to share your experiences of leaving the Muslim faith​ and what their life is like now and/or speak.

    The work will be published on a blog I am working on for my masters about leaving religion that I am calling {Ex Theism}
    If this is something that I might be able to open a conversation about here, I would be very appreciative.

    I look forward to hearing from you. ​ Please feel free to ask me any questions about my work if you are not clear on my aim.

    Thank you,
    Kara

    Maybe others can help you as I was a never an "ultra-orthodox" or "fundamentalist" Muslim. Just a regular, run-of-the-mill, Sunni Muslim.

    But welcome anyway.

    Hi Kara, i live in the US currently but if you want to conduct an interview on Skype i can do that. i did grow up in an ultra conservative community but i have been out for a while now. i have experienced the recruiting process of the jihadis many times. since the war in Chechnya
    good luck with your search.
