Part 4/8:

The speaker recounts the reaction of his own parents upon discovering his conversion through social media. Their response was filled with concern that highlighted a cultural expectation surrounding religious beliefs. They exhibited a level of anxiety about his choice that he found perplexing, considering it emanated from a background that traditionally might be more accepting of such personal decisions.

He strikes a chord of humor again, likening his journey to that of a forbidden adventure while illustrating the tension between intergenerational and cultural differences. His Muslim parents, though initially taken aback, seem to exercise a remarkable degree of tolerance towards their son's choice—an achievement he commends them for, given the context of his family's background.
