He said in another post, “Thanks to the Shiek’s for their insightful knowledge today.”
“I’m a proud Muslim. It’s given me a feeling of happiness and contentment I’ve always looked for. I see it as a responsibility. Before I became a Muslim, I lived up in a flash house in Toulon and would worry about where the pair of boots I’d ordered were or some rubbish like that,” Sonny has said about his conversion to Islam.
