Zachariah Anani - Lebanese Islamic Ex-Militant
A former Muslim and militia fighter, Zachariah Anani escaped death 15
times
after becoming a Christian and still risks sharing his faith.
Zachariah Anani was teenage militia fighter, now uses his upbringing and
studies in an all-Muslim university to teach on Islam and equip Canadian
Christians to effectively evangelize Muslims.
Anani knows Islam intimately. Born into a family of Muslim clergy in
Beirut,
Lebanon, he began Islamic school at age three. His grandfather and great
grandfather had been imams (religious authorities), and his family
expected
him to carry the torch.
At 13 he joined one of the many military groups that existed in the early
'70s. "All the religious fragments had their own secret militia," he says.
"I was trained to fight and kill Jews and to hate Christians and
Americans."
His family was pleased with his decision because according to Islamic
teaching, those who die in battle against "unbelievers" are assured of
reaching heaven. Ironically, Anani faced the Israelis only once. Most of
the
time, though, the Muslim groups fought among themselves.
