The US commander of International Security Assistance Force in the
Andar district of Ghazni Province in Afghanistan has embraced Islam.
The commander of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force
(ISAF) embraced Islam in the presence of 2,000 people on Thursday.
Cap. Cormier Michel - 45 - commands 300 ISAF troops in the Taliban-
infested district. The Ghazni governor, district chief, provincial
council members, local officials, elders, ISAF soldiers and students
attended a ceremony marking the commander's conversion to Islam.
The ceremony, which lasted well over three hours, concluded with
chants of 'Allah-o-Akbar (Allah is Great).
Cap. Michel, who changed his name to Abdul Wahed, started his brief
speech with Bismillah (In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent and
the most Merciful). During the last five years, Abdul Wahed pointed
out, he had been studying Islamic books and he concluded that Islam is
the first religion.
"Islam is a religion of peace and brotherhood, but terrorists and
extremists are bringing a bad name to it," he noted.
