An American soldier who hated Islam, who started preaching Islam
Some videos and photos capture the attention of social media users, with a heart-warming story.
Such is the case with a former US military officer, whose life-changing story has gone viral on social media.
Former US Marine Richard McKinney got everyone's attention because he hated Islam so much, but when his hatred turned into love for Islam, he himself knew.
According to Voice of America, Richard hated Islam to such an extent that he had prepared to blow up a mosque with a bomb.
But maybe fate had something else in mind, that's why hate turned to love.
In a conversation with Voice of America, Richard said that my name is Richard McKinney and I have served in the US Army for 25 years.
During his 25 years of military experience, Richard said that during that time he had participated in 5 different battles, for which he had to stay abroad.
He said that I retired and then I planned to destroy the main Islamic center in the homeland, Richard was fully prepared and enthusiastic to carry out this plan, but at the same time he decided that he should give evidence. Required.
"I needed concrete evidence for these people, so that I could tell my loved ones that I was doing the right thing," said Richard.
Everyone who knew me knew how much I hated Muslims.
I was even handcuffed to the front lawn by the FBI when my wife found out I was building a bomb. Richard was looking forward to Ramadan because he believed that the mosques would be more crowded during Ramadan, which would further strengthen his goal.
And then during Friday prayers, Richard was about to detonate the bomb. Having spent 2 years on this project, Richard was close to achieving his goal, but was surprised by the warm and impressive reception from the Muslims in the mosque. .
