Something happened to this Mark Siljander. He appeared to be a strong Born Again Christian but for some reason has turned to the dark side.

Religion

Siljander takes an interest in conflict resolution, particularly in the Islamic world, and in recent years has tried to publicize the common ground between Christianity and Islam, particularly in the portrayal of Jesus in the Qur'an.

This is a turnaround from a previous position in which he objected to the Qur'an being read at a prayer breakfast, asking the emcee: "How can you read the book of the devil at a prayer breakfast?"[14] He described himself as "trained as an evangelical Christian; I was a poster boy for Jerry Falwell."[14] He is widely traveled, and claims to have visited over 120 countries.[15] Siljander is also one of the few American politicians to have visited Libya in recent years.[citation needed] In November 2006, Siljander gave a speech at Oxford University called "Overcoming the Muslim Western Divide".[16][17] Siljander has studied Aramaic, Arabic, and Hebrew languages.[18]
