Ramzi Yousef Converts to Christianity?

The mastermind of the 1993 terror attack on World Trade Centre is now a Christian.

This morning, while watching the CNN news, there was a brief news on a convicted terrorist, Yousef Ramsi. In an interview with C.B.S Television Network, Yousef Ramsi claims that he has converted to Christianity. The interview is scheduled to be aired on Sunday, October 2007. A convicted criminal who glorify death and violence in the name of his old religion, now glorify life and peace in the name of his new religion ? Does it really matter whether Yousef Ramsi is a Muslim or Christian ? He once adopt a life of barbarity, called others infidels, but now enlightened to embrace infidels' God. Sincerely, good for him, I do hope he see the lights and find peace in his new religion and at peace with himself. The world now has one less terrorist and hopefully more peace ?

Read “Did Ramzi Yousef Really Convert to Christianity?

Everyday, we have all sort of people converted in and out of each other's religions. We have Muslim becoming Christians, Christians becoming Buddhist, Hindu becoming Christians, etc. etc. These sporadic conversions doesn't indicate whether a particular religion is better than another religion. What probably happen is, more and more people are getting disillusion with their own religions. Based on my observation, people usually switch religion during personal crisis or for certain economic and financial reasons.

Everybody claims that his or her religion is the fastest growing religion in the world. No big deal ! Since when spirituality became a contest of political popularity? It really doesn't matter what religion you professed. You are what you are. If there is a God, and if you claimed that he is all merciful and loving, then, does God care what religion you belonged to ? God is not a racist or a cultural moron. As far as he is concern, you can be an atheist, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or whatever, he will continue to love you as long as you are kind hearted, compassionate, reasonable, and mindful.

If somebody comes to you to say that his religion is the only true religion, his God is the only true God, and you must embrace his religion to enjoy the attention, blessing, and love from God, I can assured you that you are dealing with a liar. He may be very persistent with his misplaced religiousity, but repeatedly stating a lie is not going to make the lie a truth. You are probably dealing with a freaked up asshole from a farting religion. Perhaps, you should compassionately advise him to seek mental treatments and confine his closeness to God in a mental institution.

No wonder this world is in such a mess....
