It is eight years since the 29-year-old student Scottish nurse
converted from Catholicism to Islam,sister Gillian Amin had
been working in a computer factory when she saw a male
Muslim colleague kneeling in prayer in a side room.
She said: "I saw him out of the corner of my eye as I passed.
It was something that just touched my heart.
"When I saw his forehead touching the ground, to me, it was
the most humble position for any human being to be in. To
do that - to pray to someone you can't even see - just stirred so much emotion in me."
A week later, she decided she wanted to convert.
She said: "It seems so absurd. I hadn't read a Koran. I knew
nothing about Islam but I absolutely knew that I wanted to
become a Muslim."
