I Left Two Religions: Islam and Palestine
I am a convert twice over.
Once, from Islam to Christianity, and once from Palestine to truth.
I rejected Islam at 18, when I realized it was not a divine faith but a political movement, engineered by a 7th-century Arabian warlord who erased my ancestors’ civilization and converted them by force.
But there was another religion I was following, that religion's name was Palestine.
Like Islam, the religion of Palestine has its prophet, Yasser Arafat, wrapped in keffiyeh. Its prophet had companions, the warlords and ideologues of the so-called resistance.
