I'm an agnostic and secular Egyptian, who currently lives in Spain. I've been blogging in Arabic for more than five years through many blogs, which eventually faced a dramatic fate and only one survived. Now I had this idea of making this blog in English to write about my personal impressions and opinions, hoping also I can pass beyond the ordinary and common image and show a bit of the real and different image of what's happening in Egypt, how Muslims thinking of Spain and the relation between Muslims and the whole world and other topics I've seen there's a lack of blogs talking about that...
Basically, it's going to talk about Spain, Islam, Egypt and hopefully, there will be soon a Spanish version available for it (So far, I prefer not to make a joke of me and my Spanish). and here comes the meaning of the original/first title of the blog; I was hesitated to name it an "ex Muslim" or a "secular Egyptian" for, I didn't like to define myself/my existence only in being Muslim or not, I believe the whole life and existence is much bigger and more important than summing it in dogmatic or religious beliefs in general despite all the disasters made by religion.
Anyway I thought being "an ex Muslim who's living in Spain" is interesting enough, that paradox of the two words "Spain" and "ex Muslim" is enough as you will see in the coming posts in the blog.
Or perhaps being a Muslim, raised and grew up physically and psychologically among radical Muslims isn't that easy to get rid of its effects, not easy to leave you even when you decide to leave it.. IDK!!
However, As you see, the title's finally changed. My 'sole' is more satisfied.
I hope you enjoy your stay and it'd something new or different for you...
Saludos
