Is religious conversion an ultimate expression of free choice? How does embracing Islam in secular society reshape one's sense of identity and freedom? Join us as Dr. Václava Tlili explores the complex journey of Czech converts to Islam, framing religious conversion not as a single moment but as a gradual process shaped by personal experience and existential searching. Discover how individuals navigate between societal expectations and their inner quest for authenticity and spiritual meaning in a country with little historical connection to Islam.
