Cedric Du Peloux
Australia
He describes the story like this:
What happened is that my father separated with my mother when he became Muslim.
My mother is not Muslim and I grew up with her.
I went on holiday when I was 8 years old and spent some time with my father and that's when faith in Islam entered my heart.
Then I went back to my mum until I was 14 years old.
In my heart I felt I was Muslim even if I didn't know much about Islam.
Then I went on to live with my father for a few years and decided to learn and practice Islam.
I consider myself more like a revert as I chose to be Muslim at a certain point.
I grew up pretty much as a non Muslim and also because Islam was not part of my culture back then.
I'm definitely closer to a Westerner than to someone that grew up in Islam.
But at the same time I'm not your typical revert.
I've learned so much throughout this journey that I make sure to share my knowledge within the youth of my community when I get a chance.
