It's nice to see someone come back from such a life and change for the good. It is very inspiring but the whole idea of bringing one religion down to say another one is great is doomed to bring more of the problem this guy is trying to fight (violence). I was born a Muslim but I no longer believe in Islam. I'd never dare to disrespect Islam or any religion just because I no longer beiieve it. We need to respect and honor eachothers' beliefs.

@solid786snake.. no one has changed the Bible bro. no matter what translation you pick up the message is the same.....Jesus IS the real Son of God. He even agrees with Peter on this matter in plain black n white. Cant argue with JC's nod of approval. If you say the bible may be changed by man then the quran is in the same boat. The difference is you can pick up any bible translation you like and Jesus is still the Son of God etc... The quran robs Jesus of His true title and this is very wrong.

@JesusDidnotTapout

bro dnt chat shit

Jesus son of god? Jesus is a prophet he came and spread the message and gave u Bible word from god and then people started 2 change it which became false and said jesus was so special that he was son of god but he wasnt

no one cold ever add information to the quran some 1 who beleives diiferent is not a muslim whereas christians hey beleive too many different things among themselves some even say jesus is god some christians say there might be mre thn 1 god

@solid786snake My Friend thats like saying God wont accept many of us in the kingdom because we're all different as people. Truth is brother, if we all believe Jesus IS the true Son of God, we can and will be saved If He wills. regardless of how much we differ in minor areas. We must all unite under the true God......Jesus, the Son of God who has been handed 'from God' all Judgement and power in full.

@MegaAM2

Yup they're brothers. 2 more brothers in the family too.

To everyone bashing at him, grow up. He's doing something wonderful in the community. He's a generous and kind man whose learned from his mistakes in the past. That I know firsthand. Please just keep your comments to yourself. Amir is doing something extraordinary down here in the Lower Mainland. Don't hate, appreciate

@edmond300 Jesus will forgive you for your ignorance.

HAHAH! sounds funny right? God is funny

[edmond300]

He made biggest sin in his life converting from Islam to Christian if he read the whole QURAN he would never convert to it. Soljah of Allah. EVERYONE WHOS MUSLIME LIKE THE COMMENT FOR THIS COMMENT MAKE IT FIRST COZ WE ARE S.O.A = SOLJAH OF ALLAH.
