Excerpt:
A Christian who reverted to Islam has founded a support group to help newcomers to the faith tackle negative stereotypes about terrorism.
Abdur Rahman – who was brought up as a Christian in Cardiff and became a Muslim six years ago – said the scheme was aimed at helping people come to terms with the effects of their decision.
"We are helping people cope with a whole new belief system," the 57-year-old from Cathays told the Echo.
"People may find themselves with reduced social outlets because they can no longer drink. They may also have problems with their family and friends adjusting to their decision."
Mr Rahman, who founded the group in the city's central Butetown ward, calls converts to Islam "reverts" in line with the belief of many Muslims that humans are naturally born in a state of submission to Allah.
