Accusation of apostasy in the Muslim majority countries has the potential of becominga dangerous tool against the dissenting voices. When it is used by those with religiousauthority and appears in a form of a fatwa it is likely to be interpreted as a concessionfor persecution. In the legal processes following the incidents of religiously motivatedviolence it seems rare for the perpetrators to be punished. Instead the victims of religiousviolence are accused of inciting hatred. This article discusses two respective cases of apostasy fatawa in Indonesia: the death fatwa on the leaders of the Liberal Islam Network, and a fatwa which rendered apostate the members of the Indonesian Ahmadiyya religious movement.
