From jihadi to atheist- this is the story of Musa Cerantonio.
Musa, now going by his birth name of Robert, grew up in Melbourne to Italian parents. He had a pretty average upbringing, but went on to become one of Australia’s most notorious jihadis, inspiring young people to join ISIS through his activism and preaching.
In 2016, Robert was sent to Port Phillip prison where he’s been ever since- until he’s released next year.
While some inmates become more radical or violent in jail- he’s the opposite, and that’s thanks to two special and surprising figures: Richard Dawkins and Alexander the Great.
While in jail, Robert read ‘The God Delusion’, and like many of us, it made him a full blown atheist. As for Alexander the Great- well, that story is a bit more complicated. You’ll have to read about it in Graeme Wood’s recent article in The Atlantic- it’s absolutely fascinating.
Once you’ve finished reading that- grab yourself a signed copy of Dawkins’ ‘Science in the Soul’ at our shop, and we’ll send it off to you, even if you’re in jail! We don’t judge here.
