Biography
Waleed Al-Husseini is a Palestinian atheist, secularist essayist, and blogger born June 25, 1989, in Qalqilya, West Bank. He emerged as a public figure after his arrest in October 2010 by the Palestinian Authority for publishing material satirizing religion on Facebook and blog posts. During detention, Al-Husseini reported being tortured; his case drew international media attention, including coverage by *The New York Times*, which highlighted the collision between conservative Palestinian society and internet speech. Fearing persecution, he sought asylum in France, which granted him refuge in 2012. Since relocating, Al-Husseini has become a vocal advocate for secularism and critic of radical political Islam, framing his activism as defense of the French secular republic. He founded the Council of Ex-Muslims of France, positioning himself as a bridge figure between apostasy advocacy and European secular movements. Writers typically combine observation, argument, and narrative to shape public discourse—Al-Husseini's work blends personal testimony with political commentary. As a Cancer born in 1989, his protective emotional intensity channels into defending vulnerable communities and secular principles. His Palestinian citizenship and French residency mark him as a transnational voice in debates over religious freedom, state power, and secularism.
