What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

Hodgetwins Host 1 0:01
Horde Twins Podcast. Now, you used to be Christian and now you're a Muslim? Yeah. Explain that to me. Why did you switch to being a Muslim?
Sonny Faz 0:15
For me, it was mainly the monotheism aspect of it. So with Islam, you pray to God alone.

Why did Sonny Faz convert from Catholicism to Islam?

Sonny Faz 0:21
And that's just always what I did growing up. Like whenever I imagined praying, you know, I grew up Catholic. So, you know, I was taught to like pray to St. Anthony when you lose something, the different saints. And for me, whenever I put my hands together and I looked up in the sky, I only ever prayed to God alone. So that was the main aspect of it. And then really the structure of it for me, I could see a lot of the wisdom in praying five times a day. You wake up, you clean yourself, 5.30 a.m., you wake up with the sun, you go to sleep with the sun.

What is the significance of monotheism in Islam?

Sonny Faz 0:48
You look at any of these health scholars and influencers nowadays, what do they say? Wake up with the sun, go to bed with the sun, stay away from screens, all this stuff. So it was really the simplicity of it for me and just how it resonated with my heart and made sense. That was the main thing.
Hodgetwins Host 1 1:02
So it simplified your life, made you more conscious, aware of
Sonny Faz 1:05
Yeah, 100%. It's definitely made me more God-conscious overall in all aspects, yeah.
Hodgetwins Host 1 1:11
Now, Dearborn, Michigan, that's actually one of the safest places in the country, right?
Sonny Faz 1:16
Second safest, largest city in America. Is it America or the state? In Michigan, I'm sorry. In Michigan. I think he said the state, one of the mayors. In Michigan, yeah. I'd never been there. That's what the mayor said.
Hodgetwins Host 1 1:27
What's the demographics there?
Sonny Faz 1:29
It was 55% Arab, 35% white, and then the rest was like black, Chinese. 40% white. And the rest was mixed.
Hodgetwins Host 1 1:36
I liked those numbers.
Sonny Faz 1:38
Yeah, I mean, it's pretty mixed.
Hodgetwins Host 1 1:39
That's what I call diversity.

How does daily prayer structure impact one's life?

Sonny Faz 1:41
Yeah. I was expecting it to be a lot worse. I mean, you saw the documentary. To say that Sharia law is coming to take over Dearborn is a complete joke.
Hodgetwins Host 1 1:51
Yeah, it's not even constitutional. It'll never happen. I mean, when they say these things, Sharia law, that's like if you go into a mosque, right? And y'all have a difference of opinion. Something happens. It's some type of arbitration you go through, and it's through your type of religion, Sharia law, right?
Sonny Faz 2:06
Yeah, I mean, well, Sharia means law in Arabic, too. So it's like saying law, law, even just saying Sharia law.
Hodgetwins Host 2 2:11
No sex before marriage. No abortion unless in the case of marriage. something, something happened by force, up to 40 nights, because we believe in Islam, the soul enters after the 40th night, but it's not allowed, only if something happened, okay? Um, cause we are, what's confusing to people because of everything that's going on in the Middle East and the left and the this and the that, right? They would say, well, Muslims seem to be towards the left, but no, as far as the faith is concerned, extremely to the right. Yeah.
Hodgetwins Host 1 2:40
Like literally to the right. Yeah. I don't understand being a Democrat and being Muslim. I'll tell you why. It's weird to me.
Hodgetwins Host 2 2:46
It's because of the politics. It's the same thing that happened to my people. I was born here, but I lost 28 family members in the Kosovo war.
Yeah.
Hodgetwins Host 2 2:53
In a single day. I know what it's like to have family in a war zone and get the phone call that they all got wiped out. And thanks to this nation of ours, my family. That was about Christians, right? Orthodox, but I don't consider them Christians. I would never blame Christianity for what happened to my family because that's not what Jesus taught.

What are the demographics of Dearborn, Michigan?

Hodgetwins Host 2 3:08
I've studied Christianity. Why can't I get the same respect? Why can't we get the same respect as Muslims? When we tell you we condemn this, we always got to condemn every asshole. But when the same is done to our side, we don't point the finger to the religion. And there are extremists. But what happened was during the Kosovo War – We were all towards the left. Why? Because Bill Clinton was going to do something. He did something about it, right? Today I would never endorse the left, ever.
Sonny Faz 3:40
Well, it's the same thing with Gaza now. As you guys know, a lot of the right politicians are very pro-Israel.
