US commander converts to Islam
Sun, 04 Nov 2007 12:32:05


The US commander of International Security Assistance Force in the Andar district of Ghazni Province in Afghanistan has embraced Islam.

The commander of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) embraced Islam in the presence of 2,000 people on Thursday.

Cap. Cormier Michel - 45 - commands 300 ISAF troops in the Taliban-infested district. The Ghazni governor, district chief, provincial council members, local officials, elders, ISAF soldiers and students attended a ceremony marking the commander's conversion to Islam.

The ceremony, which lasted well over three hours, concluded with chants of 'Allah-o-Akbar (Allah is Great).

Cap. Michel, who changed his name to Abdul Wahed, started his brief speech with Bismillah (In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent and the most Merciful). During the last five years, Abdul Wahed pointed out, he had been studying Islamic books and he concluded that Islam is the first religion.

“Islam is a religion of peace and brotherhood, but terrorists and extremists are bringing a bad name to it," he noted.

News source would be great. I do know first hand of the efforts being made by so many and the result is that Islam is the fastest growing religion in North America and Europe. Amongst African Americans, Islam is a major religion and a force to be reckoned with. I always enjoy meeting former Sikhs, Hindus, Jews, Christians, and countless others who have embraced Islam. They usually have such strong convictions and a positive perspective on things.

Expected reaction by Islam haters - rabid frothing at the mouth, hurling insults, distorting things to make baseless arguments.....suggested action: ignore the buggers and keep up the positivity.
