Today I met with Abdullah. I had texted him about meeting and he told me he had brought his car to a garage and asked me if I could give him a ride. After I picked him up he introduced me to new CIES student name Mahmoud. Mahmoud was from Hebron, Palestine.   We then started talking about Cat Stevens conversion  to Islam. I was confused and first because he was calling him Steven, but eventually I found out he meant Yusuf Islam or Cat Stevens. I told him I was very fond of the song "A is For Allah" as well as his music before the conversion. In a previous conversation he told me he doesn't listen to music, which initially shocked me, he was the first Muslim a met that followed that rule. I have to assume it is more of a Saudi custom, considering the prominent music culture in most of the Middle East. I then asked him if he knew who Malcolm X was or Farrakhan. He said he didn't and I asked him if he would like to attend a culture class on the subject. He said that it sounded interesting. I was having difficulty finding a topic so I thought maybe this would be a interesting topic and its something I am really interested in.
