May he be made a source of guidance for him mum.

And from that scallop, from that plate of appetizers, ultimately you choose what you end up believing in. What if your son decides to follow Islam?

That's one of the crazy jokes we make. Kids at some point like to rebel against their parents, and so how will I respond? In theory, I think I'll keep a straight face.

In literature, all the clashes between children and parents, where people who hate homosexuality, the kid comes and says, “I'm gay.” Protestants who hate Catholics, the kid says, “I've converted to Catholicism,” or the other way around. People who hate God, their child comes and says, “I'm a devout believer in this.” It could happen to me. My son could come and say, “You know what, mom? I'm a devout Muslim.”

And I have to do what my father and my mother were incapable of doing, which is to say, “Alright, go for it.” I'm hoping it does not happen.

You have to let individuals make their own choices and respect that, even if it's your own child. And that's what was taken away from me. My father passed away thinking I still had to go back to his way of believing. My mother constantly tells me, “You're wrong, you're wrong.”

I want to be strong enough to tell my son, it's your choice.
