Sherif is a Muslim by choice. He was born in Egypt and grew up Christian Copse. He converted to Islam as a teenager and, when he met his wife-to-be, she converted as well. With their 6 children, they lead a very traditional Muslim lifestyle here in Austin. We talk about what it’s like to be Muslim in America today. (Incidentally, Sherif is a mixed marital arts fighter. As a Muslim, he’s not allowed to hit someone in the face.)
