Submarine Muslim 

A Muslim who converts to or practices Islam without revealing their conversion or Islamic faith. They practice Islam in secret - sometimes not even telling their own family members. Reasons for this behaviour includes not wanting to be discriminated against; avoiding the drama associated with Islam's stance on homosexuality / Palestine etc; avoiding fallout issues with family members and friends.
