A series of verses mimicking the style of the Quran titled Surah Corona have lit Arab social media on fire. The verses were written by an Algerian atheist Djilou and has resulted in many death threats and calls for arrest. Amna al-Sharqi, a Tunisian girl who shared the verses of Surah Corona is under investigation and has had a warrant issued against her by the Tunisian Public Prosecution. Update: Amna stated on social media that she has been released from police custody following intervention by Professor Enas Trabelsi.
