β And We have sent down to you the Book as an exposition of everything, a guidance, a mercy, and glad tidings for those who have submitted themselves.β (Qur’an 16:89).
I am Muslim woman, a freelance activist and an author. I was born and raised in the UK by parents who are both converts to Islam. I have been brought up in an Islamic-British environment with Islam being part of my earliest education. Recently, I have had opportunity to study Islam, its applicability and relevance to the modern world. For that reason, I began blogging to engage with other bloggers and non-bloggers in translating my thoughts and those of others.
Please do post comments, agreements/disagreements you may have with my views.
Shukran.

I am defently staying at your blog tia ! please tell what was it like living in suadia arabia suffocating ?
thanks confusedaboutlife for visiting here and staying
you know, when I came back after first semester I had problems at both airports. But when I landed at Heathrow it felt like home, sweet home. When someone asked, I think ’suffocating’ was the word I used to describe it.
For me, it was suffocating because Uni policy included no political discussions on campus, that includes everything really and you can’t say anything against the despotic regime and the clergy. But that is really the case with all Muslim countries particularly the Arab ones, they are all run by brutal dictatorial regimes.
Apart from that, I enjoyed most of it. My Arabic has improved so much that I can now write in Arabic and speak Fusha. Arabs can be very nice once they know you are white, complexes are great and its not too bad living there esp in Madinah.
but there is nothing like home!
Salaam ‘alaykum
It was a refreshing experience to read a blog by a Muslim woman who knows what she is about, keep up the good work and I will be reading intently, inshaAllah.

Hello! I am Michael Andregg, a citizen of St. Paul Minnesota USA who teaches at two universities and is writing a chapter for Oxford University Press on “Ethics for Intelligence Professionals” (spies and those who work for intelligence agencies).
I would cite your essay on Muslim’s and Spying if I knew who you are, but your biographical information says just “I am a Muslim woman … UK … etc.”
So please let me know if you can be a whole person rather than an anonymous blogger. Best wishes always, Michael Andregg
