Jon Dean Converts to Islam (with Sheikh Al Arifi) Video 2 of 3

This is VIDEO 2 of 3 (chat more with me on Facebook: http://goo.gl/zEBm4 )
VIDEO 1: http://goo.gl/ohs0z (Meeting Sheikh Al Arifi)
VIDEO 3: http://goo.gl/wb9pR (Loads of hugs and happy people)

The video and Audio is not great but the atmosphere was amazing

I'm born and raised in England but moved to Saudi Arabia to research weight loss http://spoonfedfitness.com - I studied the Quran a little, read some books and watched some videos by Ahmed Deedat. Like most westerners, I had a very poor version of Islam but my friends in Saudi and Eqypt led their lives with a different version of the religion and I saw something amazing.

I'm a scientist and finding out the truth is vital. Why did I convert - Firstly the religious text (Quran) is still in the unchanged and original form, so you know what you are following and exactly what every single word means. Secondly, Islam was simple, answered many questions, was extremely beneficial and peaceful and did not restrict me in anyway. Of course it advises me not to get drunk, abuse women and eat pork right - and guess what, following that advice works and my life has improved. If God wants you to see, you will.

Side note - if you want to leave negative comments (Quran is corrupt - @tigersforchrist) please say why so others can learn from you. If you just say its corrupt, you sound like a little kid who doesn't want to eat vegetables. Please also when you quote from the bible let us know which bible as there are many different versions and languages and the message differs throughout. I guess an interpretation of corruption could be when someone takes another persons written work and changes the meani

To be a Muslim is to love Jesus Christ (pbuh). Learning the scriptures of the gospels is very important as they have many teachings that can guide us to a better life. However, Islam reminds us to always seek TRUTH and that starts with identifying your evidence, reviewing it in the original language and then making your comments. I hope you (tigersforchrist) use your passion to seek the truth and read John 3:16 in its original form - in fact read the entire bible.

Last comment - promise. In USA the majority of Islamic footage on tv is the voice of militants, Jewish and Christian footage is majority of religious leaders. Why do you think your view of Islam is so bad. Whatever it is now, Prophet Mohammad brought women's rights, prisoner of war (not just kill) and never forced conversion. Intact Islam ordered protected to any people that contributed to the town.. Jesus will be back, the Quran tells us but as a Christian or a believer in one God, guess we wi

Southern Spain became a enlightened region with all religious and non religious people coming together to progress science. This is where the great Muslim texts that built on ancient Greek work were translated into Latin and sent all around Europe. The Muslims inspired roads, petrol, clocks, medicine, hospitals, universities...basically western life as you know it.

Recent studies show that a fraction of 1% of Muslims are terrorist or militant. So 1.4 billion people actual live in peace and follow the simple, yet effective guidelines of believing in the oneness of god. In Arabic this is Allah and only fairly recently did we start to use the English word God. When African Muslims entered Spain, the Jews were basically slaves and the catholic church was taking all the money - the Muslims gave the land back, freed the Jews and sent the greed away. The result

Hey SuperPricil, the Religions of Abraham are complex but very connected. I've been studying them for a few years now and my outlook has certainly changed. Three years ago I moved to Saudi Arabia with a similar outlook on Islam as you. Actual I didn't really appreciate Christianity, although I was considered a Christian. Like most people I was religious for the holidays and very very occasionally went to church. My point is that we live in a world that has free access to most of the worlds info

@tigersforchrist First there is NO need to scream. Maybe you should read your Bible before making such a comment. Unless your Bible is LYING: And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. Genesis 17: 20

@tigersforchrist Beyond funny. You continually insult an individual and then ask him to accept your religion. To strike one with your tongue is worser than the sword. Think about what you say.

@jondeanpt ALLAH DOES NOT EXIST BECAUSE THE MESSENGER MUHAMMAD IS A FALSE TEACHER. HE TOOK THE HOLY BIBLE OF JESUS CHRIST AND PLAGIARIZED IT! HE THEN ADDED CRAZY RULES INTO IT ABOUT KILLING INFIDELS, 72 VIRGINS ETC... HORRIBLE AND ANTI CHRIST! MUHAMMAD CALLED CHRIST A GREAT PROPHET & VIRGIN BIRTH! CHRIST 700 YEARS BEFORE HIM SAID THE BIBLE IS SEALED AND CLOSED AND ALL WHO CLAIM TO BE PROPHETS AFTER CHRIST ARE FALSE PROPHETS!! REPENT AND ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR GOD!!

I just want to say congratulations. I also want to add that sometimes faith goes up and down and so if you experience the bad days, just remember, this is normal and Allah is an all forgiver. Do your best, have the right intentions, be sincere and help others, Allah will protect you and preserve you in the hereafter inshallah.

Welcome brother.
