Saudi jihadist converts to Christ
after vision of the cross
Nasser, who was born and raised on the
eastern coast of Saudi Arabia, longed to
die for Allah by waging jihad, and thus
improving his chances of making it into
Paradise. But along the way he converted
to Christ, website Godreports has revealed.
At the outbreak of the war
in Kuwait
in 1990, Nasser was
in the USA.
‘I was
surrounded by infidels. You either make a
war against them or you try to bring them
into Islam another way. I
thought Allah
brought me here to evangelise them.’ He
saw some people converted to Islam and
renounce Jesus.

News of her execution came from Sophie Petronin, a 75-year-old French aid worker, freed on 8 October, who had apparently been held by the same, or a linked, Islamist militia group. (Petronin converted to Islam and now calls herself Mariam).
