Wisam Ali visited Moss, Norway from March 4 - 6, 2016. The recording was made in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Moss, Norway.
STONED TWICE
The first time he was stoned, he was saved by his own father who couldn't bear watching. The second time, his own brother covered him, and both times he was left buised, battered and unconcious for days.
Before this, he was sent to Europe by the family council to find his sister who had left the faith. He was sent to kill her. It was after he failed to do so upon returning that he was stoned.
After these events, Wisam has visited several countries to give talks about the differences between religion and culture. His message is that a culture of revenge only leads to more violence and tragedy.

"Revenge is not an option for me now. When you give your life to Jesus, he changes your heart, mind and attitude," says Wisam.
Steinet to ganger
Den første gangen Wisam Ali ble steinet, ble han reddet av sin egen far som ikke lenger klarte å se på. Den andre gangen la hans egen bror seg over ham for å beskytte ham. Begge ganger ble han liggende bevisstløs i flere dager. Før dette hendte hadde han blitt sendt av sin familie for å oppsøke sin egen søster fordi hun hadde forlatt troen hun var opplært i. Han ble sendt for å ta livet av henne. Det var da han kom tilbake fra dette oppdraget uten å fullføre det, at han ble steinet.
Etter disse hendelsene har Wisam vært i mange land for å undervise om forskjeller mellom religioner og kulturer. Hans budskap er at hevnkulturer, som er framtredende i mange land, bare fører til mer vold og tragedie. Nå kommer han til Moss for å fortelle sin egen dramatiske historie. – Hevn er helt utelukket for meg nå, sier Wisam. – Når du gir ditt liv til Jesus, forandrer han ditt hjerte og mentalitet.
