Shereen El Feki Quotes

Laws that treat people living with HIV or those at greatest risk with respect start with the way that we treat them ourselves: as equals. If we are going to stop the spread of HIV in our lifetime, then that is the change we need to spread Picture Quote #1

4Shbab has been dubbed Islamic MTV. Its creator, who is an Egyptian TV producer called Ahmed Abu Haiba, wants young people to be inspired by Islam to lead better lives. He reckons the best way to get that message across is to use the enormously popular medium of music videos. 4Shbab was set up as an alternative to existing Arab music channels Picture Quote #1

Throughout its history, Islam has borrowed and adapted from other civilizations, both ancient and modern Picture Quote #1

My mother’s family is Christian: her father was a Baptist lay preacher, and her brother, in a leap of Anglican upward mobility, became a vicar in the Church of Wales. But my mother converted to Islam on marrying my father. She was not obliged to; Muslim men are free to marry ahl al-kitab, or people of the Book - among them, Jews and Christians Picture Quote #1

I’m half Egyptian, and I’m Muslim. But I grew up in Canada, far from my Arab roots. Like so many who straddle East and West, I’ve been drawn, over the years, to try to better understand my origins Picture Quote #1

I’m Egyptian and Muslim, but I grew up in the West, far from my Arab roots. I began ‘Sex and the Citadel’ to help outsiders - like myself - to better comprehend this pivotal part of the world, up-close and personal Picture Quote #1

Growing up, I came to love Egypt and respect Islam, but I never thought to go beyond the surface. Back in Canada, many of my father’s Egyptian friends questioned his decision not to raise his only child more strictly in the faith. I was not taught salat, the Muslim ritual of prayer, nor did I study Arabic Picture Quote #1

Egypt, once a melting pot of peoples, classes, cultures and religions, has, after 30 years of Mubarak’s rule, become a place of intolerance and distrust of the other Picture Quote #1

Now there are laws in many parts of the world which reflect the best of human nature. These laws treat people touched by HIV with compassion and acceptance. These laws respect universal human rights and they are grounded in evidence Picture Quote #1

In Egypt, where my research is focused, I have seen plenty of trouble in and out of the citadel. There are legions of young men who can’t afford to get married, because marriage has become a very expensive proposition. They are expected to bear the burden of costs in married life, but they can’t find jobs Picture Quote #1

If you really want to know yourself, start by writing a book Picture Quote #1
