ARAB WORLD: New Film for Arab Atheists

Source: AWM Breakthrough, November 2, 2015

A Muslim doesn’t choose lightly to become an atheist. To reject the Islamic faith for no faith is as significant as rejecting it for another religion. Doing it publicly brings the accusation of being an apostate and can result in ostracism, difficulty finding a job, imprisonment or even the death penalty. Doing it privately means living a double life.

With this in mind, please pray for us as we finish and publish a new video aimed at atheists in the Arab world. Last year, we worked with partners to produce a one-minute video for the same group, which you can watch with English subtitles. We received more than 120 personal messages, including this one from a young Tunisian woman:

“I’m like Samir [character in the video]; I don’t know the meaning of my life. I’m only 19 years old and I don’t have the desire to live. Could you please tell me, what is the true way to happiness? I don’t have friends and I feel lonely. Could you please help me?”
