‘My children won’t be apostates’

Faithfully together: ?Nabil hugging his father Izwan at the mosque.

SEPANG: Muslim convert Izwan Abdullah (pic) who was embroiled in a custody battle with his Hindu ex-wife S. Deepa, and which led to the Federal Court granting each parent one child last February, said he would not allow both his children to become apostates.

Thirty-five-year-old Izwan, who converted both his children to Islam without his wife’s knowledge in 2013, said Nurul Nabila, now 12, and Nabil, 10, should be allowed to decide on their faith when they turn 18.
