European travel vlogger and YouTuber Christian Betzmann has accepted Islam after staying in Pakistan for around a year.
Betzmann announced the news on social media, sharing a picture of himself holding a certificate from the Islamic School of Miami.
“I have accepted Islam,” wrote Betzmann in the caption. “I started this channel last December and spend almost one year in Pakistan. During this time I met so many incredible people and learned a lot about the religion and the lifestyle.”
“Growing up in Europe the word Islam was always connected with negativity, war, terrorism and to be completely honest I was never a religious person before so I didn’t really care what people thought back then. My best childhood friends were Muslims and deep inside we are all human beings in the same simulation we call life,” Betzmann added.
Calling Islam a religion of peace he further said: “Islam is the religion of peace and I felt a deeper connection and something I want to experience and explore deeper for myself.”
He also posted a vlog on his YouTube channel titled I ACCEPTED ISLAM | MY SHAHADA.
YouTubers Zaid Ali, Sham Idrees and people from entertainment industry including Zoya Nasir, Minal Khan and Zara Noor Abbas congratulated him on the big decision.
