Why are you saying in the title that he is becoming a "radical" Muslim? that makes no sense at all. This man says that he wants to follow what he believes God has commanded without hurting anyone in the proses. Why would this qualify as "RADICAL"? if following what God commands is radical then then no one should ever believe in any God. Because to believe is first part but to DO is the true test for believers.

Salaam!

We not attempting to take a position in regards to Mr. Gartenstein-Ross's faith. The title of the book that is the subject of this video is "My Year Inside Radical Islam: A Memoir." In referring to the author's faith as "radical" we are deferring to his own descriptive language. We apologize for any confusion.

Many Muslims have left Islam...many converts to Islam leave this religion when they discover aspects that are ugly to them. I have met former Muslims in southern California. Many discover the fact that this religion was founded by a pedophile, thieving, racist highway bandit and leave it for that very reason.

The ForaTV link gives the complete interview. Daveed was looking for God and the truth about God. He was impressed by the devotion of some Muslims and got involved with islam, eventually being wooed into radical islam (or fundamental islam) along with a Muslim friend. They stay for awhile until they finally realized this was wrong.

What I liked was Daveed saying that it was his desire for truth that both led him to islam and then away from islam to Christianity.

islam doesnt need him if he was a muslim. Allah is rich and doesnt need any human being, it's us who need him.

I had never heard of this so called "Muslim" before so I took the time and searched about him This Jew is not a Muslim, on the contrary he seems to hate Islam period and works hard against it on FOX news and on his website. attacking Islam left and right. He claims to now be a Christian. Some people are just so unbelievable. Seems that he never were a true Muslim. not is he a Christian. He is a Jew who is craving fame wealth and attention.
