At a time when different cultures and faiths live closer together than ever before and Islam has become the hot topic, Kristiane Backer has published her book “From MTV to Mecca”.
It tells the story of how as a leading presenter on MTV Europe who had everything a young person can dream of- fame, a great lifestyle and glamour, she converted to the most vilified and misunderstood religion in the West and despite enormous professional challenges, found inner peace and meaning in life as a practicing Muslim.
She describes how she dissolved her prejudices as she discovered mainstream Islam, found common values between religions and how she finds the heart of Islam, Sufism.
The book is an effective bridge between cultures and civilizations and can function as an antidote to extremism.
Kristiane is a Global Ambassador for Exploring Islam Foundation, she was the face of the “Inspired by Muhammad” campaign
