Читать книгу "Muslim" - Zahia Rahmani - Страница 2

I became a Muslim. I had to leave for the desert.

So I left. I walked there. Soldiers accosted me. “What are you doing here?” they asked. “Where’re you from?” “A country where I couldn’t remain.”

Since then I’ve been waiting in this camp.

I thank the pack for forcing me here. I’ve learned a lot from “Muslim,” from this Name, from what it stands for.

If I reply to their accusations by saying, “I am Muslim,” then I suffocate. They condemn me to silence.
