" ( John 6:44 ) He , and he alone , drew me to faith in His precious Son , so that I may receive the eternal salvation , that he had purposed to give me , before the very foundations of the earth were ever created , ( Ephesians 1:3 -7 ) . Knowing the truth transferred my way of thinking from believing in Hitler to believing in Christ , from believing lies to knowing the truth , from being spiritually sick to being healed , from living in darkness to seeing the light , from being damned to being saved , from doubt to faith , from hate to love , and from evil works to God 's grace through Christ . Later on we moved back to Bethlehem and my father enrolled us in an Anglican-Lutheran school as they had a better English course , my brother , sister and myself where the only Muslims in the school , and being half Americans teachers would beat us and students would laugh at us , when the Bible class started I would leave the class and remained outside waiting , one day I walked in the Bible class and the class ' bully ' stood up to fight , he shouted " we do n't want this half American and Muslim to be here " , I refused to get out and the Lady who was teaching the class asked me to sit down , since then I changed the schools policy and for the first time the school allowed a Muslim to study the Bible , and for the next three years I studied it despite all the mocking . My way of thinking , my feelings , and my goals in life began to change , I began to feel for the Jewish People , all the hatred left me , the desire to see them hurt is no more a thing in my life , now I hurt for them and pray peace for Jerusalem continually , and instead of laughing at images of the holocaust on T.V. I would weep for them , I am even ready to give my own life for them , as did my Lord . And on each table , there 's often a small piece of cardboard that looks a bit like a ransom note , scrawled with another list of vegetables and specials of the moment , such as fried chicken livers . I had lived in a world in which everyone simply presupposed that the Qur'an was dictated word for word by God to the Prophet Muhammad and no one ever questioned that assumption .
