Elisabeth Torres lost eight relatives that day.
Then she converted to Islam, married an Egyptian and changed her name to Safia el-Kasaby.
Sitting with her youngest daughter and two cats in her quiet Florida home, lit only by candles, el-Kasaby explains that the terrorists, not Islam, were behind the attacks.
“The religion doesn’t tell you go destroy anything.
These people who did this were manipulated, were brain-washed,” she says.
But el-Kasaby’s family did not support her conversion.
Her oldest daughter, Sylvia would not talk to her after her own husband, a navy pilot, died in training during America’s war on terror.
El-Kasaby is a dedicated student of Islam.
It is not unusual for her to correct Muslims when they confuse cultural practices with religious teachings, “because I know,” she says.
“If a person, a Muslim, an Arab tells you, this is how we do things, I can say to them, ‘No, that’s your culture, that’s not Islam.’
I just didn’t see it, I read about Islam, I study it.”
