“I had a strong Islamic upbringing in my childhood… I enjoyed the Sufi circle of worship, as they adored the person of Muhammad… I read every book I could get hold of to refute the Bible… I had no respect for the Bible as I put my feet and shoes on it since the Quran taught me it was corrupt.”
Bassam
“If ‘I’ have to establish God's will by any means possible, even by killing people, I said it can't be the way to God… After starting to read the Bible I found a very big difference between what is actually written in the Bible and what I had heard people (Muslims and even nominal Christians) say about it.”
Paul Ciniraj Mohamed
“I was born on 25th May, 1954 as the fourth child of Janab Kassim Pillai Labba, a retired headmaster and Fathima Beevi. My house is known as “Kochera”. It is an ancient, prominent and orthodox Muslim family at Kalloor, a rural area in Trivandrum, South India… My ancestors were entitled to Muslim priesthood by heredity. They had the designation as “Labba” with their names to indicate the priesthood.”
Naz
“I held a high position in the Ismaili faith at the Manchester Jamat Khana (Agakhan Centre)… I was born in Uganda (42 years ago), into an Ismaili Muslim faith lead by the Agakhan… We were one of a very few who had the chance to have our wedding blessed by the Agakhan himself.”
Kader
“At a very young age, my parents enrolled me in a religious school where I learned to memorize the Koran… Still serious about my faith as a Muslim and now in High School, I began to devote more time to it. I was an example to many students.”
Paul Qureshi
“My name is Paul. I was born under a different name, Kashif, to a Pakistani family.”
