The source said Youhana had already enrolled his children in a school with Islamic leanings after discontinuing their education in a modern, private school.
Quote:
"The truth is Youhana had tried to take the decision to become a Muslim some years back but facing lot of opposition and emotional blackmail from his wife, parents and other relatives, he stalled the inevitable. He then convinced his wife and children of the need to become Muslims and some players had also played a key role in this process," the report said
Perhaps the report is wrong. In anycase I wont pretend that I am at all in favour of religious schooling, personaly I would be happy to see mandotory secular education. I remember walking around as a five year old thinking rediculous things about christianity and the world... No child can understand religion and it is simple indoctronation to expose kids to that sort of thing at a young age. Kids will always belive whatever adults tell them.

If Youhana wanted to become a muslim then fine, but he should not have preassured his family to follow his choices.

Either way what he does in his personal life is non of anyone's concern.
No but it still makes good chit-chat
