It’s important to note that converting to Islam is a personal decision and it’s not up to anyone else to judge it. Everyone has the right to their own personal beliefs and spirituality. It’s also important to remember that Islam is a peaceful religion and that the actions of a few extremists do not represent the beliefs of the majority of Muslims around the world
We wish Kevin Lee all the best as he continues on his spiritual journey as a Muslim.
