No. It is not true. 

These are all political propagandas to attack shiism. Primarily in order to defame Iran. 

There were some maniacs in Iran in the time of Shah who enjoyed a luxury life. They went out when shah was out. They are all people of money, power and influence. So, they always cover the surface and people see them as Shias and Iranians. Media runs behind them and things like that.

Seeing this people start yelling "Look Shias are apostating".

What about the entire KSA being sold out. Should we disclose the secrets of Al Saud and all such Salafis and sunnis over here and say that,"Look sunnis have apostated"?

All these blame games will go on and on and on. They have no end.

Truth is that Shias are on faith. Yes, some are behind and some are ahead. But such a thing about faith is not only among shias but every religion. We should not loose hope with that. We all know that finally in the end times, people will become weaker and weaker in faith. Which is happening. So, if this is 'apostating', may Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) hasten the reappearance of Imam (عجّل الله تعالى فرجه الشريف).

[Abu_Zahra]

I doubt there are any serious statistics on this and I don't think it's relevant either. 

If people who lived in the presence of the prophet ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) were still capable of rejecting islam or leaving it then I don't think any society or community can claim to be immune for this.

Ultimately it's the responsibility of the individual to believe or disbelieve so I wouldn't paint such things as sect or nationality related.

It is human nature to opt out any ‘system’ one is not comfortable with.  There is no exception for Muslims.  Those who were on the fringe, like very liberal & secular parents or no Islamic upbring from the beginning. Such ‘Muslims’ grow up having very negative image of their inherited religion.  Thus, they have sort of inferiority complex of their inherited religion. Once they come of age and join Universities they easily get swayed by other ‘isms’
Of course, Sunni Islam is not immune from apostasy as is Shia Islam. But proportionally apostasy is very much higher in Shia Islam.  I have met more than 10 highly educated Iranians professionals who had left (Shia) Islam. Their main objection was the way the Mullahs were running Iran.  And expressed resentment at Arabs bringing Islam to the ‘Persians’ (their preference to be called so).

Are there more shia apostates more than sunni?

https://www.councilofexmuslims.com/index.php?topic=6494.0

Since I left Islam, I did notice that there were more shia apostates than sunni ones. The shia apostates were mostly from Iran. I have my own take on this which is that shia's traditionally are more exposed to speculative theology and concentrate less on "fiqh". The sunni's have also had a speculative theological tradition which is through their aqeedah. The difference though is that sunni's like to derive alot more from the Quran and Sunnah. From my understanding shia seem to be exposed to more rational thought in their theology, which gives them room to maneuver. The other reason particularly with the Iranians is because of the theocratic oppression they have seen over the past thirty years. Historically they have also not liked the Arab culture that wAll these blame games will go on and on and on. They have no end.

Below extract from Guardian

At Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral in the UK, a weekly Persian service attracts between 100 and 140 people. Nearly all are migrants from Iran, Afghanistan and elsewhere in central Asia.

One in four confirmations conducted by the bishop of Bradford, Toby Howarth, over the past year were of converts from Islam. Most were Iranian and most of those were asylum seekers.

Conversion

Quote

 

According to The New York Times, an estimated 25% of American Muslims are converts.[32] In Britain, around 6,000 people convert to Islam per year and according to a June 2000 article in the British Muslims Monthly Survey the bulk of new Muslim converts in Britain were women.[33] According to The Huffington Post, "observers estimate that as many as 20,000 Americans convert to Islam annually."[34]

According to Pew Research, the number of U.S. converts to Islam is roughly equal to the number of U.S. Muslims who leave the religion.[35] 77% of new converts to Islam are from Christianity, whereas 19% were from non-religion. Whereas, 55% of Muslims who left Islam went to non-religion, and 22% converted to Christianity.[35] Data from the General Social Survey in the United States show that 32 percent of those raised Muslim no longer embrace Islam in adulthood, and 18 percent hold no religious identification.[36]

A 2015 study found that, since 1960, up to 10.2 million Muslims worldwide have converted to Christianity.[37] The increasingly large ex-Muslim communities in the Western world that adhere to no religion have also been well documented.[38]

Despite this, Islam remains, on the global level, the religion (not including irreligion) with the largest amount of net converts into the religion, with about 420,000 more people converting to Islam than leaving Islam between 2015 and 2020.[39]

My post was actually ironic. But you did not miss the opportunity to display your weak analytical skills.. 

Understand brother, you cannot counter an argument about apostasy with figures about conversion rises. Like if 100 people convert to Islam but 50 apostasize, and the topic is about apostasy, you cannot just come around and conclude that the balance is of +50 and that is great. Got it ?

Brother, I completely agree with you that ‘Muslims have always been outnumbered by non-Muslims. And the Blessed Quran testifies to this.

And most of mankind will not believe even if you desire it eagerly. 103 Surah Yusuf

And even if We had sent down to them the angels and the dead had spoken to them and We had brought together all things before them, they would not believe unless Allah pleases, but most of them are ignorant:111 Surah An’aam

Or do they say: There is madness in him? Nay! he has brought them the truth, and most of them are averse from the truth 70 Surah al-Muminun

Please note that the Blessed Quran that non-Muslims will be in Majority!  Here the issue within Muslims – Shia/Sunni.  If we refer to Sermon 126, Nahjul Balagha, we can see that Hz. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sincerely advising Muslims to “be with the great majority of Muslims because Allah’s hand of protection is on keeping unity.”
Sunnis have always been the great majority within Muslims! 
So, Alhamdulilah, being in the great majority is very relevant to us.

Let me add that just being from the great majority on Muslims, does not give one a free pass to get into Jannah. It must be earned by following the Blessed Quran and the Sunnah of the Blessed Prophet (peace be upon him) and performing recommended good deeds and giving due rights to all the Creation.

Wa’alaykum Salaam brother, I completely agree with you in this.  Generally, Shias take Sunnis to be nasibis, so, dismiss their (very) large numbers ‘as crowd gathered on falsehood.

But then within Shia Islam, Zaydis can turn around the same argument, that you are forwarding, against you (Twelver Shias).  According to Zaydi Shia, Twelver Shia are greater crowd gathered on falsehood.

 [or] among those who have broken the unity of their faith and have become sects, each group delighting in but what they themselves hold [by way of tenets] - Ayah 32 Surah ar-Rum

[Guest Dandee]

Indeed it is the case because Shia Islam simply isn't the true version of Islam Shias are not kaffir but their version of Islam simply does not make sense so it is not hard to believe that people would leave something that does not make sense. Completely apostatizing from it and becoming an atheist or converting to another religion entirely however, is wrong. Shia Muslims should apostatize only from the "shia" part. But, if there was only a choice of being Shia Muslim or not Muslim at all, then Shia Muslim is still infinitely better, as they are still Muslim, but misguided. 

Daniel Haqiqatjou is the perfect example of an born and bred Iranian Shia coming to the realization the flaws of Shia Islam and coming to the true Islam.

True

[Eddie Mecca]

@Debate followerA few thoughts on apostasy and Islamic End Days cosmology real quick: 1.) Firstly, we don't even know (percent wise) what Shi'i population numbers are worldwide...personally I believe it's somewhere between 17 - 22%...over the years I've read articles saying we number as low as 2% and as high as 33%...with the most popular statistics being 10 and 15%...this is largely because the governments of South Asia, Central Asia, Western Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe etc. didn't make a distinction between Sunni and Shi'i adherents when gathering numerical data during the 19th and 20th centuries (not sure whether or not this has changed since 2003 Iraq War)...if we don't know our numbers how can governments or polling agencies possibly now know many Shi'a are leaving Islam?? This is common sense...call me a conspiracy kook but it sounds like it might be some sort of PSYOPS strategy...2.) Secondly, if this news is 100% genuine it wouldn't surprise me in the least...expect the Muslim world (both Sunni & Shi'i) to apostatize by 90%...I assume you're familiar with the Qurʼānic prophecy in Surah Nasr, Ayah(s) 1 - 3, "And when you see people entering Allah's religion in multitudes" etc...this refers to the masses seeing Islam as a beacon of light and learning and joining the fold en-masse...the unveiling and dawning of a new civilization (e.g. Islamic Golden Age, Baghdad during Abbasid Caliphate etc.)...there are Sunni ahadith about the End Times that explain an era that is the opposite of this ayah...yes, there existed a time when people flocked to Islam...but conversely, there's also a juxtaposed era (i.e. reign of the Antichrist/Dajjal) when folks will be leaving Islam by the droves...the beginning of this era is upon us now (my opinion)...with all due respect, the Sunni state of mind isn't psychologically prepared for this new phase of history...they've invested too much time and energy in being the "majority"...the Shi'a are better mentally and emotionally prepared because being a persecuted minority has become nonchalantly second nature.

---

A recent article in the New York Times entitled “WikiLeaks Shows a Saudi Obsession With Iran” bolsters this theory: “A trove of thousands of Saudi documents recently released by WikiLeaks reveals in surprising detail how the government’s goal in recent years was not just to spread its strict version of Sunni Islam — though that was a priority — but also to undermine its primary adversary: Shiite Iran.

“The documents from Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry illustrate a near obsession with Iran, with diplomats in Africa, Asia and Europe monitoring Iranian activities in minute detail and top government agencies plotting moves to limit the spread of Shiite Islam.”

Later on, the article clearly demonstrates the depth of Saudi’s paranoia: “The fear of Shiite influence extended to countries where Muslims are small minorities, like China, where a Saudi delegation was charged with ‘suggesting practical programs that can be carried out to confront Shiite expansion in China.’”

Pew’s famous 2009 study estimated that only 10 to 13 percent of Muslims are Shias, with an approximate worldwide population of between 154 million and 200 million adherents. According to Pew, “For most countries with sizeable Muslim populations, one or more experts provided the Pew Forum with their best estimate of the Sunni-Shia breakdown based on their own review of the published sources and other expert analyses available to them.”

However, many reputable think tanks and academics disagree with Pew’s conclusions. For example, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) estimates that 15 percent of Muslims are Shia and uses Pew’s own data sources to do so. At 15 percent, alongside CFR’s count of 1.6 billion Muslims in the world today, this would indicate that the Shiite world population stands at least at 240 million, nearly 90 million more individuals that Pew’s low estimate.

In 2006, Dr. Vali Nasr, dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C., and a senior fellow in foreign policy at the Brookings Institution, published an article in Foreign Affairs magazine showcasing demographics for the worldwide Shia population that strongly differed from Pew’s research.

For example, whereas Pew counted a mere 17 million Shiites in Pakistan, Nasr proves at least 33.2 million were residing there. The newest estimate of that country’s Shia population − based upon the State Department’s assessment that 20 percent of Pakistan is Shia, as well as the newest census by the Pakistan Ministry of Planning, Development and Reforms indicating a total Pakistani population of 191.71 million citizens − means that there are now at least 38.2 million Shias in the country.

It is well-established that Azerbaijan is a majority Shia Muslim country. In 2009, Pew listed that country as having between 5 million and 7 million Shias. However, statistics from the CIA World Factbook show at least 8.16 million Shiites are living there today.The CIA World Factbook updates the demographics for several countries, including Afghanistan, which has at least 6.1 million Shias (up from Pew’s 3-4 million) and estimating that Iraq has 24.1 million (up from Pew’s 19 million).

Iran is the world’s largest Shia country. A variety of studies show that 90 to 95 percent of the Iranian population follow Shiaism. According to statistics from the United Nations, the country currently has a total population of more than 75 million. Accordingly, there must be more than 71 million Shias in the country. In 2009, Pew said there could be as few as 66 million.

Numbers for India also show a strong disparity.

The Pew study stated that there were only 16-24 million Shias in that country. However, the Indian NGO “Alimaan Trust” shows that there are currently more than 30 million Shiites in the Indian subcontinent. This number is bolstered by a 1997 Britannica Book of the Year entry indicating that India has 26 million Shia Muslims.

Considering India’s staggering birth rate and the progression of that rate during nearly two decades, the Alimaan Trust’s analysis is likely to be closer to the truth.

The Turkish Rapport Minority Rights Group wrote in its publication “Bir eşitlik arayışı: Türkiye’de azınlıklar Uluslararası Azınlık Hakları Grubu” that there must be at least 22 million Shias in that country. But Pew counted a mere 7-11 million, which is at the high end is half of Turkey’s own numbers.

Considering differing statistics, propaganda efforts by governments that can be described as “anti-Shia,” and the rapid growth of the human population in general, it is clear that most previous reports of the worldwide population of Shia Muslims can only be fairly called “underestimates.”

It is about how the world have been leaded to kufr and it is reaching to every Muslim household, changing people and leaving their religion. There are many faithless Muslim people everywhere you go. Many of them do not even show anything about their apostasy. Sunni or Shia apostasy are not relevant, because both of them are leading to rejection.
