THREE 28-year-olds. All raised in Christian homes. All Australians. Some dark, some fair, some male, some female. They are the faces of Sydney’s new Muslims.
As a little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes growing up on the northern beaches, Sydney mum Jessica was called “a Nazi” by the ignorant young tongues around her.

"Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers - Already, you see, the world had already fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing Christianity! - Then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism, that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world. Christianity alone prevented them from doing so."Adolf Hitler.

She remembers the pangs she felt when ridiculed over her crimes — being born fair to a German mother.
There’s absolutely nothing in (the Koran) that suggests it’s OK to kill people. It is horrible to hear people say that they actually think Muslims want to hurt people because it is just madness.

Games Muslims Play
Sydney's Occupied Territories : Muslim Sociopath's Declare that they are Living and Dying for the Flag of allah
So when she became a Muslim four years ago, Jessica knew she was not one for headscarfs.
“I don’t think it’s all of a sudden you flick a switch ‘OK you’re a Muslim, you have to wear a hijab’,” she tells The Saturday Telegraph as her toddlers giggle and gawp at plasma cartoons nearby.
“I feel very intimidated by people staring at me. I personally feel more protected not wearing it.”
In spite of Jessica’s trepidation at attracting glares because of her Islamic dress, the number of women likely to wear such religious fashion statement is steadily rising.
The Australian New Muslims Association in Lakemba says three Aussies a week are filing through its doors as recent converts to the religion.
They say two-thirds are women.
Jessica, 28, converted to Islam six years after her husband Michael. The two were high school sweethearts.
The elephant in the sunlit, salty-aired living room of their Sydney home is, of course, the terrorist Khaled Sharrouf.
Sharrouf’s son — pictured holding the head of a Syrian soldier in a photograph that shocked the world — is not much older than their eldest
daughter, who is watching The Wiggles and munching on biscuits.
“It makes me really sad that people feel they need to do that and that there is a situation in the world that’s causing it to happen,” she says.
“It only takes one image to make everyone think ‘oh my gosh, everyone’s doing that’.”
Council worker Stephanie Jenner, a fourth-generation Australian raised in Noosa, agrees with the sentiment.
“There’s absolutely nothing in (the Koran) that suggests it’s OK to kill people,” she says.
“It is horrible to hear people say that they actually think Muslims want to hurt people because it is just madness.”
When she meets The Saturday Telegraph for coffee in Top Ryde she is covered from head to toe in eye-catching turquoise.
Not a single strand of her hair is visible, hidden beneath a floral hijab. The “great, great, great, great” niece of Edward Jenner — the inventor of the smallpox vaccine — became a Muslim four months ago.
Like Jessica, Stephanie was introduced to the religion by her new husband — a Pakistani Muslim.
The former “racist” party girl now declines to shake male hands, doesn’t go near bacon or alcohol and is thrilled at who she has become.
“The basic way Muslims live is to try and be a better person than you were yesterday,” she says.
One member of that community, that “clan”, is 28-year-old Jean Pierre Alba.
We hurt as well. We don’t like to see these things. We live a life that’s peaceful and coexistent.
In October 2007, while working at a health food store, he met a young Muslim woman.
“She made me think outside the box a little bit,” he says.
“I was a Christian but not that religious. I called a local mosque, proclaimed my Islam and the rest is history.”
Jean Pierre lost all his friends, and his family was shocked.
Initially they weren’t happy with him, he tells The Saturday Telegraph.
“They saw Muslims as fundamental people … It took them a while to come around.”
Thanks to people like Khaled Sharrouf, Mohamed Elomar and Ahmad Naizmand, much of Australia thinks of Muslims as fundamental people.
“It’s very disheartening,” says Jean Pierre.
“We hurt as well. We don’t like to see these things. We live a life that’s peaceful and coexistent.”
Sydney is the Islamic capital of Australia. A total of 208,000 Sydney siders identified as Muslim at the most recent census. Sydney’s population is
4.7 per cent Muslim — more than double the national average.
The number is getting bigger every day. These smiling faces will tell you the city is better for it.
