Most of the village boys who had been recruited to the new faith were not educated. thus, they believed everything the new master said. They were now attending madrassa. Which is a simple name for Islamic classes where they learn Islam and Arabic. The young men were enthusiastic to learn a new language and new faith. Their lives started changing gradually. The new faith did not allow them to listen to old traditional music. They were no longer allowed to drink traditional beer by the name muratina. Ideally, they were no longer expected to drink any type of alcohol. They believed that that was what Allah expected from them. They were not getting accustomed to the new faith. all they wanted was the approval of their sheik, maalin, and Allah. They did not care what their parent, family, and friends think.
The rift between parents and children was now evident. Though they could not point out exactly what it was, there seemed to be something wrong with the new faith. Unexplained discoveries spread between parents and teachers. There was a difference between the youths who followed the new faith and those who dint. One of the major differences was the economic impact. The new Islamic converts seemed to have their lives in order. They did not drink wine, neither did they spend much time in the shopping center playing at the pool table and watching movies. Rather they were either in the masjid or at their homes. they seemed quiet and changed. On the other hand, those who did not join the Islamic faith became hopeless in life. They were drunk all day and spent most of their time in the shopping center. The new Islamic convert`s families flourished. they had enough food to eat and give for charity.
The young men were allowed to marry and second and third wives. Though it was not easily accepted in the family, no one could challenge their doctrinal knowledge. They were ell versed with the bible and the Quran. Thus depending on their belief and practice was easy fr them. Their theological prowess was unmatched by any of the villagers. Things escalated to unimaginable heights when training in madrasa begin to be extreme. They were now taught to hold and use guns. Ideally, they were taught that there is nothing much better than can do than to die for the cause of Allah. They believed that that is what Allah wants for them. As aforementioned, they yearned for the approval of their sheiks, maalim, and Allah. Thus, they were told that the only way they could get the approval of Allah, maalim, and their sheiks, was by committing their lives to fight for Allah.
The young men who were financially and physically able got second and third wives. All their wives had to be Muslims and their offspring were Muslims by default. The rift between parents and children was evident. The Muslims now viewed their parents as kafirs who rebel against Allah. Ideally, Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God, he is also God. Christians uphold the trinity doctrine to high standards. The new faith taught that among the worst sins anyone can do is shirk. Associating Allah with nay another being. Ideally, anyone who associates Allah with any being should be killed. The new converts knew this so well. They even got angered when they heard people praising Jesus on Sundays. The theological difference between the new Islamic faith and Christianity was so huge that anyone who was well versed with the bible could notice it.
Young men who had joined the new faith felt the urge to physically defend their faith. They were ready to kill anyone who associates Allah with anyone or anything. Bearing in mind that Allah wants them to defend him, they were willing to do anything. Theological war broke up in the village. Muslims were now vehemently condemning anyone who called Jesus God or the son of God. They had the theological advantage over the Christians because their teachers had unmatched their logical knowledge. They could easily preach Islam in the local dialect. In a span of six months, there were serious evangelistic campaigns by the Muslims trying to convert everybody in the village.
One day, news broke up. The donors who were paying the young men to work in the village had requested them to advance their training. They were requested to leave their families for some time, joining the Islamic military camps where they will be trained to fight for Allah. The reward of joining the team was that they will bypass the judgment phase in heaven and go straight to heaven. while the rest of the inhibitors of the earth will be judged, they would not be judged for they had chosen a better path. The training was not voluntary. All the young men from the village who had joined Islam were required to pack and leave for advanced training. Their families would get good financial and spiritual care back in the village. The young men were taken to a camp in the deep forest of Somalia. They were officially a militia group.
