Jay used to dream about killing Christians and Jews in terror attacks around the world, but that all changed when he met Jesus.
Jay grew up in a conservative Muslim family in Afghanistan. In 2001, when he was just 15-years-old, he fled to the UK to escape the fighting between US forces and the Taliban, the Christian Post reported.
However, when he came to Britain, he found himself becoming gradually attracted to the same radical extremism he fled in Afghanistan.
‘I got a Qur’an from a mosque in English translation and I read it,” he told CBN News.“The deeper I went into the faith, the more I got extreme, to the point where I glorified some of the attacks around the world and even thinking of going and joining some group.”
Fortunately, Jay never joined a terror group or waged jihad. Instead, he eventually questioned the appetite for violence he had adopted over time. Jay says he was deeply bothered by the disgust Muslims had for Jews.
“The amount of hatred for the Jews and Christians, but especially the Jews, in the Muslim world, is astonishing,” he said. “What has Israel done to me…why should I hate Jews?”
Jay turned to the internet to research other faiths. However, he didn’t encounter the truth that ultimately changed his life until someone handed him a Bible.
