In the commentary for the first Qahera comic, Mohamed wrote that "an evening of reading the most awful misogynistic articles on dumb Islamic websites has led [her] to this." The majority of the themes and events in the webcomic are based on Mohamed's own experiences with street harassment. She said that Qahera is "everything I'd have liked to be," and that the character is partially modeled after the many women around her.[4] Aimed at a Western audience, Qahera is published primarily in English and translated into colloquial Egyptian Arabic.[4][5]
