DR ALICIA LIE was born in Hong Kong, read philosophy, and now teaches subjects investigating the interaction of cultures and communities. She has studied Arabic for many years and considers Egypt her second home. She also plays the oud.
She was first attracted to the Islamic world through the spirituality that effuses from Iranian art-house films. Looking for ways to learn about the religion, she enrolledin Arabic the moment she found it was available at the University of Hong Kong, where she was a postgraduate student researching Artificial Intelligence and the Philosophy of Mind. Her interest in Islam converges with her interest in the Philosophy of Religion, examining the ultimate pursuit of human salvation, and its social, political, artistic, and literary consequences.
She is drawn to the spirituality of Islam but repulsed by the way women are treated in many Muslim communities. She hopes that this book of hers could bring about some small changes which may in turn bring about more changes, ad infinitum.
