The Woman Beyond the Veil
My Path into Salafism and Back Out Again
After growing up as an atheist, Karoline Roscher-Lagzouli converted to Islam in her twenties due to a lifelong fascination with Islam. For several years, she was part of a conservative Salafi community. In this autobiography, she tells about her life in the community, the conflicts with her family, her "awakening" and her continuing search for an authentic expression of her faith that is appropriate for her. As a devout Muslim and feminist, she wants to have her say in current debates instead of just listening when others talk about her.
- Unique insight into a German Salafi community
