Omar William’s Testimony
Omar Williams was raised a Catholic, but his mother was Jewish.
He was known as Robert Williams before he left the church and converted to
Islam, and then changed his first name to Omar. Omar first started to seriously
consider Islam when he was in school. He had a Muslim friend who introduced him
to the faith. Omar took a keen interest in learning about the life of Prophet
Muhammed(P). During that phase of his life, he also experimented with Buddhism.
The deciphering moment happened one day when Omar attended Mass
at church. When he heard the priest present Jesus as God, Omar kept saying to
himself, "no this is wrong…" and it was clear that this was a false
doctrine, and that the Trinity was a myth. It was that moment, when Omar
Williams decided to convert to Islam. For the most part, Omar William’s friends
and family were accepting of his faith. As for his parents, his mother, was
very cool with his decision, with the exception of his father, who was shocked.
Omars, father, exclaimed, "how could you do this! How could you turn your
back on Catholicism!" Inspite of his father’s pressure, Omar was sure of
decision, and remained steadfast. His father basically thought that this was a
phase, and that he would snap out of it. But, that didn’t stop Omar’s father
from enlisting the help of the neighborhood thug, Sam "The Sham" Shamoun, to convince his son to
come back to Christianity.
It wasn’t until Omar was shopping at a local Muslim bookstore
with his friend, is when he first met Sam "The Sham" Shamoun. Omar recalled that day,
"he was pretending to be a Muslim". Sam came up and introduced
himself to Omar and his friend, and started talking about Islam. Omar didn’t
seem much interested in talking to him, and started looking around for books to
learn about his new faith, but Shamoun, followed him. Omar mentioned, "he
kept bugging and disrupting me", trying to start some conversation with
Omar. "I didn’t want to be rude", mentioned Omar, therefore, he
quietly listened to what he had to say.
It wasn’t very long, till Omar and 3 other new converts who fled
Christianity towards Islam, would meet up with Shamoun again, but this time at
Answering Islam’s head quarters at
"You didn’t
even know Christ because you were a Catholic!"
"You never
really experience Christ!"
"You didn’t
read about Islam enough! You just read the good stuff! There are horrible
pieces of Islam!!"
Shamoun was throwing his worthless Answering Islam articles at
them. Omar recalled, that they didn’t ignore what the missionaries were saying
about Islam. They went back home and researched the points only to find out,
that all the arguments were completely fraudulent, based upon false
assumptions, twisted interpretations and out right lies! This is what I find
with almost all new converts to Islam. They, have surfed the net and came
across many of these anti Islamic websites, loaded with all kinds of smut
against Islam, yet it was relatively easy for them to detect that the arguments
were completely false. Sam "The Sham" Shamoun knows this fact very well,
as he himself, a man who’s full time 9-5 job is attacking Islam and trying to
convert Muslims (yes, this is his career J ), But Shamoun has openly admitted
that, in all his years on the job, he has NEVER been able to convert any Muslim
with his foolish "Answering Islam"arguments to his "faith".
God, I would hate to see what his performance reviews are like! Think about it,
a salesman who has NEVER made a sale in over 7 years on the job!!! J J J
But Shamoun was clever in his dealings with the freshman
pledges. Shamoun knew, that the only way he can "win" is by catching
them off guard. Therefore, he would surprise topics on them, hoping that the
new Muslim converts would not be familiar with the topics, and he could take
advantage of their ignorance. Omar Williams recalled, that they never knew what
the topic of the discussion would be, they simply told to "just show
up" and they would not tell them what issues were going to be discussed
till they arrived at the meeting. In addition to that, they didn’t want to
discuss previous topics from the meeting before, in which they researched and
found that their arguments were fraudulent. The next meeting they completely avoided
those issues, because they knew that the new Muslims knew the truth, and that
the missionary arguments could easily be refuted! Sam "The Sham" Shamoun tried to pull the same
stunt with me, but I quickly moved to exposed him here.
Therefore, it became clear to Omar, that there was no point in
debating with these missionaries, as they were completely brainwashed and not
sincere in searching for truth. Omar then decided to avoid them. But Shamoun
persisted in pursuing him. As Omar would walk to the masjid, Shamoun would
approach him on the way him and would say, "hey Omar you have to read my
latest article!". Omar would simply ignore him, like a dog barking.
Omar Williams also had some comments about the Ahmed-Shamoun
debate, "What the Quran says about the Bible (corrupt or uncorrupt)"
which you can download here. In regards to the terrible beating
Shamoun received for 30 long minutes which has been documented here,
Omar appalled at Shamoun’s stupidity had this to say, "he wont’ admit when
he is wrong, at least say, good point, I’ll get back to you. He did not want to
address it (S.4:157),but he acted like he did… and then in then end he said
VICTORY FOR CHRIST!…… I couldn’t believe it". Finally, Omar Williams said
he would like to thank Sam "The Sham" Shamoun for making him a better
Muslim. Omar stated, that before he met Shamoun he was a lukewarm Muslim, but
once he witnessed the gross distortions done to the religion of Islam, and how
Christian missionaries would shamelessly misrepresent it as Shamoun and his
hooligans did, that inspired him to become a better Muslim and devote his life
to defending the Truth, and clarifying the misconceptions about Islam. Omar
