Manaar*, a 21-year-old Somali woman living in Sweden, first heard about Jesus from a classmate.
Wanting to know more, she read the Bible, comparing it with the Qur’an. ‘In the Qur’an there is no love. In the Bible there is the love of Christ,’ she concluded.
When Manaar became a believer, word quickly spread among her family and fundamentalist Islamic neighbourhood. Even an aunt living in the States got involved. ‘You’re a shame to the family. You must come back to Islam,’ she wrote her niece.
