Ep 12: Mohammed Saleh - Terrorism, Refugees, A New Home
Listen now
Description
In this episode I have the great privilege of speaking with Mohammed Salah, an Egyptian who fled the Muslim Brotherhood and sought asylum as a refugee in Hong Kong. Our conversation spans the story of the Arab Spring uprising, his previous life working in the Pharmaceutical industry, the persecution and abuse that came on him during the revolution, his need to flee his country and home, and the challenges of beginning a completely new life in a foreign country. Mohammed shares openly about his Islamic upbringing, the pain of seeing his family persecuted, his commitment to integrity, the heartbreak of leaving behind his home, and yet the new hope he has discovered in his recently found Christian faith. Mohammed's story might be personal to him, but it also represents hundreds of thousands of similar stories of Asylum Seekers around the world at this time, making our conversation relevant for all of us as we consider how best to embrace the broken communities of our cities.
