FAIYUM, EGYPT - AUGUST 29: Spaniard Leticia Tirado Murga, who chose to live in Egypt after converting to Islam reads the Quran in Faiyum, Egypt on August 29, 2023. Leticia, who changed her name to Melek after converting to Islam, said that she 'had trouble with the restrictions on the practice of Islam in Spain, this situation prompted her to immigrate to Egypt, and she found what she needed here.' Stating that all religions are respected in Egypt, Leticia stated that she is happy here, feels at home, and can freely perform her prayers. In addition to immigrants, Spaniards who have chosen Islam are also effective in the increase in the Muslim population of Spain, which has exceeded 2 million since 2020 and the majority of them are of Moroccan, Pakistani or Senegal origin.
