In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
I was raised in a moderately Christian home in Colorado. Religion was never much of an issue in my
house. My father was raised as a Mormon, and my mother was a Protestant. I can remember my parents
dropping my brother off at Sunday School, but instead of going to church while we were in religious
classes, they would go home.
