COMMENT | Much ado about conversion

COMMENT | I have a friend who is a Muslim convert. He is also an atheist.

Rayyan was born a Christian. He grew up attending church and Sunday school. At home, he had crosses and pictures of Jesus Christ on the wall.

He practised saying grace before mealtime and prayers before bedtime.

When Rayyan was 12, his father decided to turn Buddhist. Soon, his father got the whole family to follow his path. The crosses and pictures of Jesus were removed from the wall and replaced with portraits and figurines of Buddha.

As a new convert, Rayyan was often lost...
