Fidelma O’Leary, a professor of biology at Saint Edwards University in the USA, became acquainted with Islam during her student years. Brought up as a Catholic, O’Leary’s life changed when she began questioning her religious beliefs following a radio program. O’Leary described how she became acquainted with Islam: "I was listening to a radio program. A listener who phoned in asked, ‘Since Jesus is God, how is it that he also worships God?’ I felt a bolt of lightning in my head. It was as if all the pieces of the puzzle had suddenly come together in the right place. I realized that Islam was the right faith for me. I loved and embraced it with all my heart.”
