Muslims in Spain: From Nato forces to Islam

KHADIJA MARTINEZ speaks to Fatima, from Seville, Spain, who narrates a fascinating and adventurous journey to Islam.

I MET Fatima a couple of months ago, when we both happened to be invited to the house of a Muslim friend.

I really liked her beautiful, smiling face and spontaneous laughter. As we talked briefly, her story struck me so strongly that, a couple of weeks later, I found myself travelling to Seville to interview her.

We met in a nice garden for a cup of tea, and I asked her to tell me about herself.
