I join CEMB because I believe that there are so many different ideologies and faiths in the world and the Muslim-majority world who do not believe in Islam but they do not know that there are many like them. I join so we reach one day a level of normalisation, harmony and recognition among those who chose to live with faith and those who chose to live without.

I was born in Syria for a Muslim family and by 18 I have eventually become an atheist. However, I believe in people\'s freedom to believe and to express their ideas. As I advocate the rights of atheist, Christians and other minorities in the Middle East and North Africa, I advocate the rights of Muslims and other minorities in Europe and elsewhere.
I am a PhD Candidate in Political Science on political instrumentalisation of Islam in the Middle East at the University of Duisburg-Essen and an editor of the Muslims Politics and Culture in the Middle East and North Africa Journal online.
