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 . I always new that this was wrong , yet did not really appreciate the full gravity of these actions , before a holy and just God , nor did I have the power to transform myself and to live the life which I new was right . He truly was searching to find the real meaning of his faith , and once and for all make a decision what he was going to do about it . " School choice is simply about one thing : parental choice , " he wrote . But that 's not what you want . I still remember my favorite sick joke I used to like to tell my friends , that I hated Hitler very much because he never got the job done , that is : he never finished the Jewish problem " once and for all " . " O ye who believe ! If you are further interested I will be glad to share with you the material and reasoning I used during this long and difficult journey from a staunch Muslim to a believing Christian . Only God can guide you . For , Jesus boldly says , " Truly Truly , I say to you , he who hears my word and believes in him who sent me , has eternal life , and does not come into judgement , but has passed out of death into life . In my spare time I taught myself to read and write Hausa in the Roman script , which had been introduced by the Europeans who found our own Arabic script too difficult . The simplest way to describe myself is that I was one of those whom one would view on CNN throwing rocks and molotov cocktails in the days of the Intifada or ' The Uprising ' , I was one of these who Jews would call a terrorist , the interesting thing is that I was not only terrorizing but I was terrorized by my beliefs , since I had to gain enough merit and good deeds to go to heaven but never was sure if my good deeds would outweigh my bad deeds in the scale when I get judged by God , of course to die fighting the Jews will ease Allah 's anger towards my sin and I will be secured in a good spot in heaven with beautiful wide eyed women to fulfill my most intimate desires , either way I will win , and terror was the only way . I thought of Islam as a faith with such high ideals that I did not consider myself worthy of the name Muslim but I wholeheartedly believed that Islam was God 's last and most perfect religion for all mankind , based on God 's final revelation , the Qur'an , and the prophet Muhammad , God 's seal of prophethood . LEDO PIZZA QUICKLY BECOMES a type of place where you can run in to pick up a pizza , eat out with the family or meet friends to watch a game or play trivia . That day during the alter call , I caught myself singing " Amazing Grace . He too was very zealous in his faith , and did not hesitate to share the four spiritual laws with me .
