Skyping with Saif about Islam - KJ

Last Friday we got to Skype with Mr. Joe’s future brother in-law. His name is Saif, he is a middle aged man and lives in Tunis, Tunisia. He is a Muslim and believes in Sunni. He told us that 99% of Tunisians are Sunni. Sunni is believing in Mohammad’s rules, Shia is believing in Ala’s (Mohammad’s successor) rules. He lives in a middle-class city. He grew up in a healthy environment. He has lived in Egypt and Dubai. He used to work for an airline working as a cabin assistant. He listens to Arabian music along with some music we are familiar with. We have a lot more in common than I thought. He said that there is no poverty where he is living. I thought he was living in the places like Haiti. It turns out he is living peacefully. There is no war or conflict currently in Tunisia, it all ended in 1956. He has not yet traveled to mecca. I was very interested with our meeting. It had turned out it was more than I had expected.
