British Teenager Converts To Islam In Islamic " Billy Graham" like Altar Call

This is different . By the way, I am assuming he is British because of the accents. Go see the vid at Canterbury Tales post European Teenager converts to Islam on Television.

I have to admit I have never encounter this. In the comments section to Canterbury's post:

Actually Islam has learned a LOT from evangelical Christianity. Youth revivals a la Acquire the Fire and huge media events that are televised--stuff like that.

and

As for the comment about altar calls, the profession of faith a Muslim makes is somewhat similar to that practice, as is demonstrated in this video. I was reading a book once about Islam, and all that's necessary to become a Muslim--at least in a somewhat juridical sense--is to profess the creed "There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet," and then you are a Muslim.

One wonders if this Islamic Evangelical Crusade style would be success here in the U.S. It very well might.
