Our dilemma tonight, concerns a guy that we’re calling Ahmed.

It’s a real dilemma – although we’ve changed a couple of the details to protect his identity.

But the crux of it is this.

Ahmed has recently converted from Islam to Christianity.

He doesn’t know whether or not he should tell his parents, who are Muslim, about his conversion.

He’s fearful that if he tells his parents, they’ll be unhappy with him – and cut off his rent allowance, and other financial assistance.

What do you think Ahmed should do?

DISCUSSION POINTS:

• Should he run the risk of worsening relations with his family by telling them about  his conversion?
• There’s the issue of money – he’s afraid of not being able to ‘get by’ - without his parents  allowance.
• At the same time he’s excited about the change that’s happened in his life – should he tell them or not.
