'Renowned' [moslem] Gulf journalist converts to Christianity
Yikes !!
Who coulda guessed such a local turn of events !
And they're saying he's mad.i.e.
.....locals moslems are claiming this fellow,
Muhammad Al-Moamen, only converted to Christianity because he is mentally disturbed,
and not of sound mind.
Is it because they know, that someone may now try to end his life ?
Is it because, in leaving ISLAM, they believe that he has a 'death wish' ?

17 Comments Kuwaitis on Twitter circulated a video clip of journalist Muhammad Al-Moamen declaring his renunciation of Islam and conversion to Christianity. He is currently living in an undisclosed location
outside Kuwait.
Al-Moamen wore a cross in a video clip and attached it with the words, “I am determined, I know who the Lord is, I understand life, and I live now.”
He added that “Anything that we see related to saying I adopted Christianity for the purpose of fame, you will be upset, this is not a threat.” (SIC)
He concludes his video by saying “We are the children of Jesus Christ son of Mary.” “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,” he said, assuring that there would be no debate on this matter.
Mohammad Al-Moamen is the grandson of Kuwaiti broadcaster Hamad Al-Moamen, one of Radio Kuwait’s founding fathers.
His conversion to Christianity was a shock to numerous social media activists in Kuwait and the Gulf region in general.

Outside the Gulf, i suspect !
Hmmm.
Muhammad Al-Moamen 'has changed his religion'.
Does ISLAM [
ISLAMIC law] permit that personal choice ?

Some wit in COMMENTS has questioned....

But what’s the problem , I thought there is no compulsion in religion and as we are assured by muslims all the time Islam is progressive and that their alleged prophet was the first femminist advocating for women rights and that nobody can be coerced into believing or disbelieving and all the usual crap that would make Islam appear like a wonderful religion of peace.
So why is this Kuwaiti journalist accused of suffering from mental illness despite making clear that he was fully responsible for his decision.
Do I sense some Christianophobia here ?

"I have been ordered to kill the people until they testify that there is no god except Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer and pay the zakah.
