Mr Sams:
Just out of curiousity, what makes Mr. Manu (don't know the dude--never seen or met the man) different from any other muslim? Is he less of a muslim because he wasn't BORN into the religion? I know a lot of muslims that don't go the the mosque, don't pray five times a day and indulge in all that's against Islam...They are still muslims regardless! (Who determines who is more muslim)? If they hide and drink yet pray five times a day and go to the mosque religiously, does that make them a better muslim than the next person that drinks openly yet is a good person? Guess what, I'll take the person that drinks and is a good person because at least they're not hypocritical about it.
You said:
Bottom line here is the connection see him as one of them, whether he has "converted" or not.
See him as what? Gurmett? When will he become a muslim?
Just curious,
Astrid
