Al Fadi, a Saudi native now living in America, is setting out to educate the West about his former religion Islam. His message, rooted in what he says are deep convictions and personal truth, is sure to inspire controversy.
Al Fadi converted to Christianity after coming to the United States for college. While he claims that he initially planned to convert everyone he met to Islam, something completely unexpected happened. After meeting Christians for the first time in his life, al Fadi became enamored. He explained his conversion to CBNs Erick Stakelbeck:
Basically, the more I met people who follow Christ, the more I realized that they are distinct and unique in their character. Theyre kind, theyre patient, theyre loving, they have moral values, they dont look at others with hatred.
Before long, he abandoned Islam, leaving him to embrace Jesus Christ. His conversion, alone, would have led to a death sentence in his homeland. Even now, danger isnt an impossibility (al Fadi is actually a pseudonym). But regardless of the dangers he faces for sharing his truth, he says that its worth it.
Now, al Fadi is making it a mission to correct what he says are the Wests misconceptions about Islam. In an interview with CBN, he explained, in detail, his interpretation of Islam and those who are not Muslims:
When I lived in Saudi Arabia, not only did I look at non-Muslims as second class, you would look at non-devout Muslims as second class citizens.

Brave man!
I watched this film from Netflix last night. Good film to see if you get a chance.
Of Gods and Men
(Des Hommes et des Dieux)
2010 PG-13 123 minutes
"Awarded Grand Prix honors at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, this compelling historical drama relates the ordeal of seven French Trappist monks in the mountains of Algeria who are taken captive by Islamic fundamentalists. Before the monks' abduction, they have ample reason to believe they may be in danger, but their assumption that there can and must be common ground between Islam and Christianity leads them to remain at the monastery."
Agreed, but what does it say about that person's former religion that one must be brave to change their religion. Personally, I think it speaks volumes about the pathetic state of Islam.
How many people didn’t know this?
We’re going to find out, sooner or later, if Abdul will pray, to a glowing crater.
Doesn’t bode well for the monks...don’t spoil it for me.
Remember this?
I quote the notorious Abu Hamza:
If a kafir person (non-believer) goes in a Muslim country, he is like a cow. Anybody can take him. That is the Islamic law. If a kafir is walking by and you catch him, hes booty. You can sell him in the market. Most of them are spies. And even if they dont do anything, if Muslims cannot take them and sell them in the market, you just kill them. Its OK .I say the reality thats in the Muslim books anyway. Whether I say it or not, its in the books.
So when will the MSM be reporting LTC West is correct?
Links don’t work.
503 error is on their end.
I know..the old “it’s om your end” answer but that’s the case.
That's like Don Adams doing Zen.
Is that his picture in the website? Isn't that a bit worrisome?
But we know liberals are idiots. I meant normal people.
Nevertheless, the reality, value of what he does ultimately provides nothing new, reveals nothing that the world has of yet not seen, is aware of regarding the utter depravity, egregious cruelty, abject criminality, savage, inhumane, barbaric character that Islam has unleashed unto the world.
The Koran is nothing more than a manual for war, misery, hatred, destruction, genocide, in preaching the wholesale slaughter, enslavement of those it subjugates, the ursupation of human rights, dignity of those it conquers, the treatment of of females that come under its control as non-human, sexual objects allowed to exist merely to serve the carnal desires of the savage,barbaric males that which constitute the warring soldiers of Islam.
There is nothing about what the Koran espouses in the practice of Islam any moral, conscientious , free thinking person would want to emulate.
That’s not the only link at the blaze that’s down either.
when I compare Barry Soetoro aka Barak Hussein Obama II to this man— I see the 0 claims he was a Mulsim-but now says he is not—the 0 claims he was drawn to Soviet communism—but says he no longer is -he claims he was a lot of things but no longer is. That is why this President is a big 0 notice how thick the plexiglass is and how many armed guards he requires? But I see the man who wrote “Witness” left America and the world ample evidence that he walked away from Communism. This President continues in policies that suggest he is still a communist dupe. The man who was a Muslim-but now no longer is (of this discussion) has given proof he is no longer a Muslim. Not the same can be said of the 0 —eh?
