Feb 21: Islamic Awareness Week speaker

I attended a talk (organised by Isoc as part of islamic awareness week) by Idris Tawfiq, a former English catholic priest who went to Egypt on vacation (who formerly studied for priesthood in Rome, and even held Pope John Paul 2's hand so dearly that his ring came off!!) and was so impressed by what he saw (is really emotional guy) that he converted to Islam. Was really interesting to hear his life story from his own mouth. You can read more about the guy here:
