Best Answer
  • Fidelma Anne O'Leary raised Catholic in her native Ireland.
  • She began questioning her faith as a teenager, found answers in a 50-cent copy of the Quran given to her by a friend, and converted to Islam in college.
  • Now she is an associate professor of Biology at St. Edward's University, O'Leary agreed to let National Geographic document her hajj experience, which is at once a private spiritual journey and an immersion in one of the largest religious gatherings in the world.
  • Fidelma O'Leary, an Irish-born Muslim, said she never regretted abandoning her Catholic religion for Islam. I wasn't born in Islam. I chose Islam, O'Leary said.
  • O'Leary received disapproval from her Catholic family back in Ireland for converting, but is still confident she made the right choice. She was divorced in 1996.
  • She said " I changed my religion. I like to think that Islam was a part of my development"
