Biography: His grandfathers on both sides were great ISlamic teachers, and he is also prepared to teach someone how to read the Koran on their own. He started selling used bicycles with his uncle when he was still in school, and now has his own shop. The Koran starts with education and promotes technical learning, too. For him, women should veil to protect men from being attracted to them. Islam emphasizes avoiding confrontation and violence, so terrorists are not good Muslims.
