[bipolarman2022]

PARTE 2: In a small Andalusian town lived Andrés, a man deeply devoted to his Christian faith. Since childhood, he had been raised in Catholic doctrine, and his life revolved around the church. He spent his days teaching history at a local school and in the parish, where he found solace in prayer and community.

However, Andrés' life changed dramatically when he met Karim, a Muslim man who had recently moved to the city. Karim, an imposing man, with a presence that inspired both respect and fear, opened an Islamic studies center in the neighborhood. Unlike other Muslims Andrés had met, Karim was radical in his faith, and his vision of Islam did not allow for compromise. He firmly believed in the supremacy of Islam and the need to impose his vision on all those around him.

Andrés, driven by curiosity, began to frequent Karim's center. At first, he was only looking to learn more about a different culture, but he soon found himself caught up in the strength of Karim's convictions. Their conversations were not dialogues, but imposing monologues where Karim made it clear that absolute truth could only be found in Islam. Every discussion, every word, was imbued with an authority that Andrew had never before experienced.

Karim was not content to simply state his ideas; he demanded loyalty. His faith was severe and his interpretation of the Koran unyielding. “Christianity is a lie, a corruption of the truth,” he told Andrew in a firm tone. “Only Islam is the true faith, and those who do not follow it are damned.” These words hit Andrew like a hammer, shattering the certainties he had had throughout his life.

As Andrew spent more time with Karim, he began to feel increasing pressure. Doubts about his own faith became an unbearable burden. Karim not only spoke of the virtues of Islam, but insisted on the need to submit completely to Allah, under penalty of eternal punishment. Andrés's internal struggle intensified with each encounter, and Karim, aware of Andrés's vulnerability, began to manipulate him more intensely.

Karim not only preached the faith, but imposed strict laws and rituals. Andrés was forced to stop attending church, and any mention of his former faith was severely punished. Karim required him to pray five times a day, to undergo strict fasting during Ramadan, and to learn to recite the Quran in Arabic. The freedom Andrés had initially felt quickly faded, replaced by a regime of control that gave him no respite.

One day, Karim handed Andrés a written document, detailing the laws he had to follow if he wanted to continue being part of the center. Among them was the prohibition of any contact with his former Christian friends, the obligation to contribute financially to the center, and the acceptance of polygamy as a divine norm. But what disturbed Andrew most was the final clause: any attempt to leave Islam would be punishable by death, according to the Sharia law that Karim upheld as absolute.

Caught between his fear and his faith, Andrew didn't know what to do. He tried to escape Karim's influence, but Karim watched him constantly. His former life disappeared, replaced by a world of strict rules and impending punishments. Karim's teachings had not only changed him, but had robbed him of his freedom, leaving him a prisoner within his own mind.

Finally, under inhuman pressure and constant fear, Andrew gave in. He uttered the Shahada, not as an act of sincere faith, but as a last desperate attempt to find some peace amid the storm. Yet peace never came. Every day was a struggle to meet Karim's increasingly extreme demands. His faith in Christianity was crushed, not by conviction, but by oppression.

Over time, Andrew became a shadow of his former self. His initial devotion morphed into total submission, not to God, but to Karim’s ruthless will. The church, which had been his refuge, was left behind, and his life became a perpetual ordeal under the draconian rules Karim imposed on him.

Karim, pleased with Andrew’s transformation, continued to expand his influence in the community, imposing his interpretation of Islam with an iron fist. Andrew, for his part, lived out the rest of his days trapped in a cage he himself had helped build, a cage made of fear, blind obedience, and a faith he had never fully understood.

Andrew’s story thus became a dark reminder of how faith, when imposed with violence, can destroy not only a man’s beliefs, but also his spirit.
