police-informer

He knew quite well that Mohammad Mansour, a security police informer, was recording my sermons from the bathroom in the mosque. I was so strict in the fashion of the sunnah of Muhammad that I did not shake hands with women. I simply wanted to be a devout Muslim. Having finished their prayers in the mosque, my father stopped one of the leaders in my group, Sulleiman Hashem and asked him pleadingly to leave me, his son, alone.

Ich wollte einfach ein hingegebener Moslem sein. Als sie ihre Gebete in der Moschee beendet hatten, nahm mein Vater einen der Führer meiner Gruppe, Sulleiman Hashem, beiseite und bat ihn eindringlich, mich, seinen Sohn, in Ruhe zu lassen.
