US Guantanamo guard converts to Islam

As the US government moves to shutdown its detention centre at Guantanamo Bay, stories are emerging of the way it affected those inside.
Former inmates have talked about the deprivation and pressures they faced.
But Terry Holdbrooks was on the other side. He was a US soldier and he says he saw something in the behaviour of the inmates that changed him. He tells his story to Al Jazeera in his own words.

[@FauziahAbdullah715]

@@ItsNikoHIMself because He is the most merciful and the most gracious you dork. You have no idea how much He love us all, much greater than how your mother loves you. I hope your mom do loves you, I am sorry if otherwise. But there is always Allah. I am an orphan and I rarely feel lonely, I have millions of brothers and sisters. My relationship with Allah is my most precious, I cried to Him if the test He given me is too hard and He always listen. I dunno maybe you won't get it, but one have to earn it to get the previlage. You must be pretty tough to forsaken God. You know, because if we never see our parents doesn't mean they don't exist. Se goes to our Creator. Subhanallah

[@saraa7827]

Jesus was not god, he walked on Earth as a human being, born by Mary a human woman. He is considered to Christians as being the son of God born on Earth but is not and never was actually God himself. I think all religions, as long as practiced with peace and love, are good... this man is happy as a Muslim and that is beautiful. Others are happy as Christians and that is equally beautiful. You should open your mind and maybe be more informed before writing hatefully.
