Yahya works in the music industry and has a really interesting story of how he converted to Islam and eventually left it. He speaks about how Islam appealed to him as a Christian and how he ended up in the Pakistani Sufi community. He speaks really fairly, giving reasons why Islam appealed to him as a Christian and how he ended up in the Pakistani Sufi community as well as his disillusionment and the problems he saw within.
