Safiou, Bilal

I am a student and assistant at the Institute of Near and Middle Eastern Studies, where I’m currently enrolled for my master’s program. My interests cover several areas, however I dedicated myself specifically to the topic of modern-day terrorism in the Middle East during my bachelor studies. Other interests include the Arab language and its multiple dialects, religious coexistence during the Middle Ages, and Arabic documents outside the context of the Middle East (in particular, letters written in Arabic by a small group of enslaved African Muslims in the Americas).
