His father was/is a staunch catholic. Actually if my memories from those days recall correctly it was his brother who my friend want to school with who reverted first. Then he also gave dawah to Hamza (the younger of the 2) who also reverted. Then his sister also reverted due to her brothers efforts. he doesnt go TJ. he's more salafi inclined but not of those hardcoe/extreme salafi types many of us know. Hes quite happy to 'work' with others , far as i know, on shared goals etc.
