How discrimination against Muslims turned one man into a believer

Islamophobia, a bias or prejudice against Islam, is usually a nasty thing that brings out the worst in people.

A perfect case is a recent viral photo that revealed just shows how much hate is directed at Muslims.

This is what makes this unique case even more interesting. According to IlmFeed, one man became a Muslim after seeing an anti-Islam interview on TV.

In June, Tommy Robinson who is a political activist and former leader of the English Defence League (EDL) movement was on ITV’s Good Morning Britain. He was on the show to prove that the Qur’an teaches violence.

Speaking with the presenter, Piers Morgan, Tommy said, “Have you read this book, have you read this book?”

This interview turned out to be a good thing as it led to non-Muslims asking for a translation of the Holy Book.
