Anglo-Australians Show New Face of Islam

An Australian TV program has offered a new face for the Muslim community, presenting Sydney blue-eyed reverts as a new side to Islam people may not hear about.

 “I’m a proud Aboriginal Australian Muslim. It’s a profound quietness when I pray and when I connect with God. I’ve never had that up until I embraced Islam,” Sarah, an Anglo blue-eyed Australian woman, told SBS program The Feed on Monday, October 13.

 “I hear of all the atrocities that are happening overseas and I pick up my Qur’an which is my life guide.

 “There is nothing in there about torturing people, conflict and fighting,” she added.

 Sarah, who sees herself as a proud Aboriginal and a Muslim, says she is the same Sarah she was three years ago before choosing Islam. The only change is her headscarf.

 Growing up in the bible belt of the New South Wales (NSW) hills district, which has highest Christian church attendance in the country, Sarah took a long time to find Islam.

 She revealed how she researched, read books and watched lectures online and has never been happier with the decision she took while studying psychology at university.

 For another Sydney man, Luke, the true Islam is not that propagated in the media. It is what gives him peace in his life.

 “What goes on around the world or what’s going on within Australia I don’t think that skews my judgment of what Islam really is because I feel I know better,” he said.

“I feel I know the true Islam and that’s what gives me peace.”

 The Feed reporter Patrick Abboud said his program was driven by a wish to show the life of Australians who choose to revert to Islam.

 “I wanted to see the reality for Anglo-Australians who had converted,” he said.

 “It’s an element of the Islamic community which isn’t talked about.”

For him, Sarah presented Anglo-Australians who choose to revert to Islam for reasons other than marriage
