Sarra: I Will Not Be Erased by Islam

Dec 24, 2016 | Born in Tunisia, Sarra witnessed radical changes in the practice of Islam in her homeland, transitioning from a more peaceful religion infused with Tunisian folk-culture to a stricter, more literal version.

She began to doubt her faith when she discovered philosophy and began studying history and logic. By the age of 21, she no longer considered herself a believer.

Since leaving the faith, Sarra wants to use her freedom and skills to help others. She started an online group for Tunisians who are struggling with Islam to connect with each other and offer support.
