Interesting video. Though I had to laugh when one woman asked whether Muslims believe in God.

It has to be a joke.

A 2004 British documentary called Turning Muslim in Texas has resurfaced in a big way on the Internet, drawing hundreds of thousands of viewers for its account of white Texans who grew up Christian but now practice Islam.

Among those in Turning Muslim in Texas are Eric and Karen Meek, a married couple from Lewisville.

"I run across people all the time who say, 'Are you the guy in the video?' " said Mr. Meek, who planned to be a Southern Baptist minister until he began to study Islam while rooming with a Muslim at the University of North Texas.

Two British women shot the documentary in September and October of 2003. It aired the following January on Channel Four, one of the United Kingdom's main noncable channels.

But apparently few outside the U.K. saw Turning Muslim in Texas until late February of this year. That's when a Muslim group posted it to the Web site TurnToIslam .com.
