45 Filipinos convert to Islam in Saudi

A group of 45 Filipino workers in Saudi Arabia converted to Islam after they were taught about the religion during a visit to their company by preachers from a government religious centre in the Gulf Kingdom, a newspaper reported on Thursday.
 
The preachers from the Islamic Guidance Centre in the capital Riyadh said the 45 Filipinos decided to embrace the new religion after listening to a brief lecture by one of the preachers at their company on Monday.
 
“We conduct routine visits to foreign companies to explain Islam to them…during our latest tour, 45 Filipinos embraced Islam at the same night,” the Centre’s manager Sheikh Mohammed Al Dousari said, quoted by Sabq daily.
