This is the
show. The D. Greetings of peace. Welcome
to the Dean Show. Every week we're here
enlightening you with our guests that
come in, share their stories. And my
next guest coming out in a second. Eight
years he spent in the monastery. Before
that, he was an atheist. He denied God.
And then he went through the whole party
phase, hanging out at the clubs, doing
what men do, you know, nowadays, just
chasing all the worldly things. And he's
here with us today to talk about the
transitions that he made in life and how
he's gotten on the Dean show today on
this new way of life, this way of life
that brings peace, prosperity in this
life, satisfaction in the soul. He's got
it. And he's here to share his story
with us so you can get it too here on
the D show with my next guest, Sicilian.
That's right. All right, we're going to
ask him if he knows Michael Corleó
because the man is obviously someone
who's from the Sicilian background and
so we got a lot to talk to him about
when we come back here on the D show.
Don't go anywhere. This is the
show. This is the show. This is the

This is the danger. This is the danger.
This is the

Peace be with you.
Salam. Michael Chichero. Deerro. Dero.
So I was I as I was opening up at the
end I I forgot to mention from I I
mentioned from Sicily. Sicily. You were
born in No, America. Born in America.
America. But my family is Sicilian.
Okay. Did you know Marco Corleó? No.
Never. Never. You know what I'm talking
about. From the Godfather. Yes. Yeah.
Now that's right away a big
misconceptions because as soon as you
say, you know, people confuse the two.
It's Sicilian or Italian. Right away
people are like, "Okay, these are the
mafia." How far is that from the truth?
as far as uh Islam and terrorism is from
from the truth. That's a good way to
start now. The same way you know all
Italians, Sicilians, what they're not in
the mafia, are they? Nope. Muslims
aren't terrorists. Nope. Yeah. And you
found that out. You went through a whole
big journey. Where'd you start? Where
did the journey start? Well, when I was
a young kid, of course, I you know, grew
up an atheist, born into a Roman
Catholic background. Um, as I was
growing up, my family never talked about
God or you would hear Jesus, but it
would be with swear words or curse
words. That's about it. But we never
went to church. I was baptized. I had
first holy communion, you know, the
sacraments of the church. Those were the
only two days I ever remember going to
church. But I myself, I never believed
in God. Uh, through my teenage years, I
because of my denial of God. I mean, if
you don't have God, then you have to be
filled with something else. And so
throughout my teenage years, what I was
doing was filling myself with, you know,
women, uh, different kinds of drugs,
alcohol, the party lifestyle. I wanted
to do what I wanted. I quit school in
the ninth grade, got a full-time job. My
dad told me, "Well, you want to quit
school, you got to go get a full-time
job, and then you can quit school." So,
I went and got a full-time job working
as a landscaper. And, um, that was that,
you know. So, I drop out of school, and
my life's going even worse. And of
course, I still I I never thought of God
or prayed to God or thought anything
about God or religion or any of this
stuff. I do remember a number of times
when I found myself in ruts where I
would actually curse God. I would
actually say things if there was a God
that exists, I hate you or I curse you,
things of this nature. So, this was my
life until 17. And like anything in
life, when you do something enough, it
gets old. And that's exactly what
happened. I got tired of girls. I got
tired of partying. I got tired of
drinking. I got tired of smoking. I got
tired, tired, tired, tired, tired.
Everything got tired. Everything became
the same old same old, same thing,
different day. And you know, nothing
ever changes.
But I wasn't just the normal uh I wasn't
just the normal rebellious teenager
because I took it to extremes. And I
found myself in a situation where I
really wanted to change when I was 17,
but I had no clue how to change. I had I
knew nothing. I mean, I was I really had
no no knowledge of anything. But there
was this one family friend who uh was a
of course a friend of my uh my my family
who I knew he had was in the same
situation before. He was an older
gentleman. He was in the same situation
as I was and he turned his whole life
around and to this day, alhamdulillah,
he's the same way. So I went to him one
day and I asked him and sometimes he
would even say things to me when I saw
him, but I wasn't ready to accept. But I
came to a point where I dug such a deep
grave I wanted to get out of it. So I
went to him and said, "What do I need to
do to change?" And I was really I was
embarrassed. I It took me a while to
come to him because I really was
humiliated. And he said to me, "You got
to believe in God." And I told him
straight out, I said, "I don't believe
in God. You can't ask that of me. I'll
do anything. Just don't ask me to
believe in God." That was the last thing
on my mind. And I He said, 'Not only do
you have to believe in God, but you have
to pray to God. I said, 'I don't know
any God to pray to. I said, 'If you want
me to pray to God, I said, you tell me
who God is. And he said, Jesus Christ is
your God and your savior and him alone
shall you serve.
I had heard the name of Jesus, but I
knew nothing. I had heard the name of
Mary, but I knew nothing. So
he started directing me towards the
right path. But I wasn't willing to
accept it. But I went home that night
and I was really fighting the urges to
go back to my party life, back to that
style,
everything I knew, the habit that I had
got myself into. And I had such a
temptation and such a desperation that I
was so willing to do anything that I
said, you know what? I'll pray to this
Jesus. So, I got on my knees at my house
and I prayed to Jesus and I said,
"Jesus, I don't know who you are. I
never I I I don't I don't know who you
are. I don't know what to think of you.
I don't even know if you really exist,
but I'm I I just want freedom and peace
and something new."
And God honest truth. that moment
nothing happened mystical or no visions
or locationions or v visions or signs
but there was a piece that did come over
me and that temptation re it really went
away so I went to my friend the next day
the gentleman who's a family friend and
I told him I said I prayed last night
and this peace came over me and it I
think that this is the right thing I
said but I still not sure about the
whole Jesus thing who who is he what can
you tell me so He we got together and he
got me a Bible and he was a Roman
Catholic and I was born Roman Catholic
but never practiced. So he you know he
said to me you need to go to confession
because of course the Roman Catholics
with their confessions with the priest.
He said we need to uh Roman C he said we
need to
he said we need to uh you need to go to
confession so that God forgives your
sins and you need to start receiving the
holy eucharist they call it you know the
body blood soul and divinity of Jesus.
So I said to him, I'm willing to do it.
So that very day, he took me to a priest
who heard my confession and I believed
my sins were forgiven. And then he took
me to mass the very next morning and
that was the beginning of that. My whole
beginning of practicing the Catholic
faith or Christianity and everything
about it. Eight years in the monastery.
So se 17 years old, I went eight and a
half years in the monastery. Hold it
right there. We got to take a break and
we got more to talk about. A lot more to
talk about in this incredible story in
your journey with Michael here on the
Dean Show. We'll be right back. Please

Back here with Michael Cherro. Terroto
Sicilian. Uh were you ever in the mafia?
No, never. Okay. All right. Uh tell us
now before we come to the future let's
go back to the present again. So you're
living that life that you said that you
know most people they live they they
don't really have a higher purpose they
don't know what the purpose of life is
so they end up just satisfying the
flesh. So was there any at that time any
peace? I mean were you just uh even
after fulfilling your desires were you
still despondent depressed? Oh, no. No
peace every day. When you live that
lifestyle, every day you wake up with
guilt, remorse, regret. In the
beginning, it's fun. When you're when
you're a teenager and you're young, it's
fun, but then the fun turns into regret,
guilt, shame for the things you've done.
Regret, guilt, guilt, and shame. Shame.
So, that's the side effect to that
temporary fun. That's right. Some
minutes of enjoyment, hours, but then
shame, regret. Yes. Yeah. And
loneliness. Loneliness kick in. Okay. So
now you meet uh your friend who So yes
so now I meet my friend who uh you know
brought me to the Catholic faith and to
practicing. So he said to me one Sunday
he really was in the beginning of my
practicing Catholicism he was very very
he was there he was very very he was
like a a pillar for me to hold on to.
And he said to me one morning or excuse
me he said to me one night he said
there's the would you like to go to
Caramel with me Sunday morning to where
car? It's called caramel. Uhhuh. And I
said to him, "What what time?" He said,
"7 7 a.m." I said, "Why would I want to
go to a candy store at 7 o'clock in the
morning on a Sunday?" You know, who
wants to go eat candy at 7:00 a.m.? He
said, "No, no, no, no, no. It's a
monastery. They're Carmelites. They call
it Caramel, but it's a Carmelite
monastery." I said, "Oh, I didn't I had
no clue what a Carmelite monastery was."
So, he says, "It's it's a Carmelite
monastery, you know, where they have
mass and everything. They're the nuns
and the monks and everything, the
priests." I said, "Okay, I'll go." So I
so I went that next morning the Sunday
morning. He picks me up. We go. And I'm
not going to lie, when I went there, my
experience of it was one of a kind. It
was unique to to this day. I can never
forget my my first experience at this
place. The of course they're what's
called contemplative cloistered uh nuns
and they live a silent life, quiet life,
peaceful life. Just they don't even
leave. They stay in there and they pray
for the rest of their lives. and then
they die there and they don't come out
for anything. So when I went there, it
was the first time that I experienced
the Latin mass and I experienced, you
know, the beauty of Gregorian chant as
the church calls it. And there was so
much peace that I that I that I found at
that moment that even tears came to my
eyes because it touched me so deeply. I
mean to the core of my being. And I said
to myself at that moment, I said,
"Whatever is here is what I want." It
was a humble environment. It was humble
as humble gets, very serene, very
peaceful environment. Whatever is here,
I want cuz I never had that peace. So I
made it my duty to make sure that I
could be a part of this place. So at in
the beginning, I started going there on
Sundays and then eventually they asked
me to start doing u volunteering there
with work. So I started giving my
labors. But then eventually as I'm
working in the back where the people
can't go in the back. I mean it's
separated just for them. So I'm working
there, but I work in the back where most
people don't get to ever see. So as I'm
working back there, I'm finding myself
attracted to this life, this silent,
cloistered, prayerful life. And I
secretly wanted to live it, but I didn't
know how to express it. I felt like I
was too new, too, in the beginning like
a baby. I didn't want to jump the gun
and say, "Hey, I want to do this." But
eventually I made a decision that I and
I expressed that yes I want this life.
So I said to them I said listen you know
I really I want to be a part of this. So
basically the after consulting with the
community I was allowed to come and to
live there on on the grounds uh in the
monastery the life of the monk. Um and I
also and that was at 17 and I also began
studying with the intention of becoming
an ordain an an ordained Catholic
priest. So but you go first what's the
first step? You become a monk? Well, you
don't just become a monk. You start
living the life. You get used to it. You
start adjusting and then you begin
studying. So my studies mainly were
self-studies in the actual monastery and
as a monk. So and I did this life for
eight and a half years and I you know
eight and a half years. eight and a half
years and it was the roughest of lives.
I mean fasting from September the 14th
till Easter every year. Um how how do
they how do they fast? That's very
different. It's not it's not a Muslim
fast. Actually when I became a Muslim I
just thought to myself, yeah, I never
fasted before. But their fast consists
of you your main meal is your lunch, but
the two meals the breakfast and the
dinner cannot be the same. They cannot
equal or be greater than the lunch that
you ate. So, you can have breakfast, but
it can be something very small, frugal.
And you can have dinner, but it can be
something like a hard-boiled egg and a
piece of bread or a salad. But your
lunch is a main meal. But then there's
no snacks between or soups or desserts
afterwards or anything at night time,
and it's every single day of the year.
So, we would wake up every morning
around 4:00 a.m. And we would pray and
work and study all day long from 4:00
a.m. until 10:00 p.m. every single day.
What does the typical prayer consist of
and how do you pray? Well, of course,
the church has what's called the
canonical brievery, which of course they
pray seven times a day. And the reason
they pray seven times a day is because
David says in the book of Psalms in the
Bible that the just man prays seven
times a day. So the Jews, they picked up
the habit of praying seven times a day
because David said the just man prays
seven times a day. So the church took
that that that because the church the
early church was Jews and they took the
uh that Davidic theology we'll call it
uh David saying in in the psalms and so
the church has what's called the seven
canonical hours. So for example they'll
pray mattens lords tur sect known
vespers and compl and they're all
throughout the day just like we play
just like we pray uh salah throughout
the different periods of the day they
pray the canonical hours but that's only
for the monks for the priests and for
the nuns the lay people don't do this
yeah and when you're praying who are you
directing your prayers of course Jesus
to Jesus what about all the there's
saints also mother to Mary to Mary
mother of god um to Jesus to the saint
saints. But every day is a different
saint's feast day. So every day the
canonical hours what they would do is
they would celebrate Barnabas and they'd
celebrate Paul and they celebrate Peter
and they celebrate Mary and then some
days were strictly for G Sundays were
Jesus's days, right? And it's funny that
seven days in a week and one day was
given to actually Jesus who they believe
is God, but the other six were given to
all the saints who were just men. So
pray pray praying to Jesus uh the
trinity you know praying to Jesus
through the father in union with the
holy spirit uh did did you have a lot of
different also icons and statues statues
the Catholic church is big for statues
and frescos
um and I always had a great admiration
for them in those days and a great love
for them and yes you would kneel in
front of a statue you would kneel in
front of an icon you would kneel in
front of any image, but the Catholic
theology behind it isn't because
Catholics don't look at it as you're
worshiping the statue or the icon, but
it's like if you walk in your family's
house, for example, and say your parents
live in California and you live in New
York, you look, you live in New York,
you walk in the house, you see your
family's picture, what does it do? It
recalls to your memory your your your
lovely mother and father back in
California. And that's what it was
supposed to do. It wasn't supposed to be
something that you directed your prayers
to a statue, but it was a statue of a
woman who reminded you of Jesus or a
statue of Jesus who reminded you of who
he is or stat or a statue or an icon or
an image of a saint that would remind
you of who Jesus is. We're going to
we're going to take off from there when
we come back after this break. Don't go
anywhere here on the Dean Show with
Michael. Eight years in the ministry and
then he came to Islam. We want to find
out why why atheists to Catholicism in
the eight years in the ministry to
Islam. We're back to finish up the
story. Don't go anywhere. Please

Back here on the Dean Show. So, eight
years in a monastery. And we talked a
little bit about the prayer and how that
worked. H how about confession? Was this
a daily thing, weekly thing? Every two
weeks. Every two weeks you do a
confession. Every two weeks. How does
that work? Well, of course, the priest
would be on the other side of the
confessional and you could either see
him or not see him, but you, you know,
of course the priest and you would get
on your knees and you would confess your
sins to the priest and the belief is
that the priest is there in what they
call in Latin persona Christi in the
person of Christ. So when he speaks it's
really Christ speaking because he's in
persona Christi because of his
ordination as a Catholic priest. So yes
every two weeks I would it was mandatory
to go to confession and you could even
go before that but every two weeks was
the norm to go and have your your sins
cleansed away. But this idea that the
church has of kneeling in a confessional
a wood box and confession to a priest
didn't come about until the 13th
century. before that they the early
Christians they even had confession but
they would do it openly and in public
but this idea of a Catholic church with
a box that people think this isn't until
the 13th century uh what happens if
someone brings up to a Catholic the
commandment where it says thou shalt
have no other gods except the creator of
the heavens and the earth you shall not
bow down or make any likeness to him and
the heavens and earth for sea below you
know this is clear but then you have all
these idols and icons and statues what's
the what do they say to that Well, when
it comes to, for example, the statues
and you know, of course, they know the
commandments, but see, the the way that
the Catholic Church justifies having
these is because what they say is even
though God himself said, "Don't build
statues or icons or idols." That's
clear, isn't it? That's clear. That's as
clear as clear. That's a very explicit
statement in the Bible. But the way they
justify it is because God himself in in
the Jewish Bible, in the Old Testament
of the Bible, God himself
told the Jews how to erect the
tabernacle in the tent. And he said,
"Put golden angels and he said to put a
golden dove." So God himself was saying,
"Build these golden and these bronze
images in the temple for the Jews." The
first temple. The first temple. He's
telling them to do this. So the Catholic
Church justifies their worship of these
things, their devotion to these things
by saying, "Well, if God did it, we can
do it." Because another way they try to
justify it is is even though the f even
though one of the commandments is not to
build statues or idols or things of or
or things of this nature, a Catholic
will say to you, there's a difference
between a statue and an icon and an
idol. An idol is a god that you're
praying to, a false god. A statue is
something that calls to memory. As I
said, you're not actually praying to
that. But the the the the the pagan is
praying to that idol because it it
believes God himself is in that actual
image.
Yeah. But the the Catholics because they
don't believe God or Mary are actually
in the images, they don't believe it's
idol worship. Yeah. So, okay. So, you go
from now we went through the party
lifestyle, went uh also just denying
God. At one point, a lot of people they
get so frustrated they don't have peace
and they start cursing God. You even
went through that. Um, and now how do
you take this turn towards Islam? Yes.
Well, finally taking your shahada. When
everybody askked me that question,
there's a long story and a short story
and I'll try to give the short story.
People can actually on on our Facebook,
that's how you know people who who
regularly visit, we actually have your
whole story there or you know the
article. Well, even that article, it is
much more detailed, but even the the
details that I left out were many. So
long story short,
the way that I came to Islam, of course,
8 and a half years into the monastery,
everything was good. I had the life, I
really did. I had no bills, and of
course, no wife, no kids, none of this
stuff. Not in the future, not then, not
ever because you can't, right? You
can't. It's a celibacy. Yeah. You take a
vow of poverty, chastity, celibacy, and
obedience. And so in that vow of
celibacy and chastity there is no wife
or kids. So but to be honest because a
lot of Muslims they say to me you know
how could you do that you know but see
the thing is is that within the Catholic
church it makes sense. Outside the
Catholic church doesn't make sense to
live that lifestyle. So I'm living this
lifestyle. I'm very comfortable with it.
I feel good. I'm feeling positive. Okay.
Now 8 and a half years in one day I had
to go to a church uh near the monastery
that I was at. And when I was coming out
of the church, I I I ran into a Muslim,
not intentionally, just by chance. And
when I came out that church, and he was
there, and he wasn't waiting, but we
just crossed paths. He said to me,
"You're you're a Christian." I said,
"Yes." He said, "Can you help me with
something?" I said, "Sure." He said,
"Can you show me where Jesus says I am
God?" I said, "No problem. I've been
studying this stuff for eight and a half
years. I I I I I thrive for these
moments.
So I open up I or sorry I didn't open up
my Bible because I don't have to because
it's all in my in my memory. So I go to
different verses of the Bible. Too many
for me to quote right now. John 1:1
different the father and I are one.
Before Abraham was I am all the God
verses as we would call them in
Christianity. So I spit them off to him,
try to give him the context and what
they say. And he says to me, and this
this brother actually come to find out
he was actually an ex-Catholic or
ex-Christian who was very knowledgeable
of the Bible. And he said to me, "But
that's John saying you you you know
that's John saying Jesus is God and Paul
saying Jesus is God and and and Peter
saying but does Jesus say he's God?"
So I kind of thought it was funny
because I never thought about it. You
know, when I accepted the Catholic
Church and the Christian belief when I
was 17, it was because I was desperate
for something and they told me this is
who God was. I didn't think about it. I
didn't even want to think about it. I
just accepted it. But this was really,
maybe it's stupid me, but in eight and a
half years, it was the first time I
really thought, does he actually say
that? Does he actually claim this kind
of divinity that I give to him? So that
night, I went home and I really was
thinking about it. And
as I went through the Bible, my I was
looking for different proofs, I really
saw that there is no explicit statement
where Jesus himself says in the words
that we would say I am God or worship
me, but that everybody else says he's
God and worship him. So
I met with this brother again and we
started having a dialogue on a regular
basis. He gave me a Quran and we started
to dialogue and discuss Christianity and
Islam, Mary, Jesus, the saints,
everything. Who God is, Trinity, one
God, what is it? So, we must have kept
in contact for probably about three
months going back and forth. I read the
Quran cover to cover a couple times.
Now, what I learned about Islam when I
was a when I was studying was three
things and this is important. One false
god, two false prophet, three false
book, everything's false. So that's all
I believed about it. About Islam. About
Islam. That was it. Never anything good.
Never anything good. But when I opened
up the Quran and I started to read it, I
started to see some clarity. I started
to see
I started to see who God really is and
that the Quran actually was a
confirmation of the books before and a
completion. It was a last testament.
And so through that dialogue with the
with with this brother, I came to Islam,
alhamdulillah, two years ago
because his arguments against
Christianity were stronger than my
arguments for Christianity. And I even
came to a point so much and I have to
give a lot of credit to Ahmed Dat
because of course the sheh who does a
lot of course deceased but did a lot of
da work because when I learned that he
was the main uh the main opponent of the
Christian in in Da and trying to prove
Jesus isn't God and the the proof of
Islam. I went online and started
watching him, not to become a Muslim,
but to hear his arguments and to refute
them on my own, to figure out how I
could refute them. But what I did was
day after day, week after week, and I
had listened to him for quite some time,
month after month of listening to him,
his arguments really
made more sense than my own arguments.
and his influence and his speech really
played a positive role um in me
developing into a Muslim. And so through
Ahmed Data and through this brother who
really opened my eyes, alhamdulillah, to
the truth and you finally accepted
Islam, we're out of time. Tell us now
what what is it uh that that you believe
now as a Muslim? In short, what what is
it that's so drastically different or is
it really that much of a difference?
Well, I believe today exactly what Jesus
himself taught. Alhamdulillah. That's
exactly what I believe because the Jesus
that I knew before was the Jesus that
the church taught me. But when I went
and looked at the Jesus himself, who he
says he is, I found that was the Muslim
Jesus. The Muslim Jesus. The Muslim
Jesus. And that that Muslim Jesus spoke
of a prophet coming after him, who of
course is Muhammad, peace and blessings
be upon him. And he said when they asked
him what's the greatest commandment, he
said here, "O Israel, the Lord thy God
is one God. Worship him." That's it.
That's it. Worship the same message as
Muhammad. The same message as all the
prophets. The same message as Moses. And
that same Jesus who like Muhammad, like
the prophets, that same Jesus who fell
down in the agony in the garden and put
his forehead on that ground and
worshiped God. And that's how you pray
today. That's how I pray today. And we
greet also. We're going to cut out. We
have to go. But peace be with you.
That's the greeting in the Bible, isn't
it? Also, that's right. After the
resurrection. Peace be with you. Peace
be with you, too. Thank you for being
with us on the Dean Show. Hopefully,
we'll have you back back again so we can
talk more about your books. You got a
couple of books also that are out. What
are they called? Uh, the first one that
I wrote was Jesus of the Bible and the
Quran, which is a comparative study of
is the Jesus that you find in the Bible
the same Jesus you find in the Quran or
these two different Jesus Jesuses and
which one is the historical Jesus. And
the second book is Muhammad, a prophet
in the Bible. Because what I noticed is
a lot of Muslims, they they they tell
Christians Muhammad's in the Bible and
then the first thing the Christian says
is what? Where? And every Muslim um I'm
not sure to be honest. I just know that
the Quran says it. But I have 50
prophecies,
one explicitly mentioning the name of
Muhammad in the Old Testament. But I
have 50 prophecies from the Old
Testament and from the mouth of Jesus
himself talking about a prophet coming
after him, a prophet from Arabia, a
prophet from Baka, which is Mecca in the
Bible. And so Muhammad a prophet in the
Bible because see the the fact is is
that the prophets themselves in the
Bible give qualifications and
requirements for what a what what a
prophet is. So like anything, if you
qualify, you have to be looked at
honestly. And so what I do is I take the
10 greatest qualifications for a
prophet, not according to me, but
according to the prophets of the Old
Testament, and I show from the S, from
the life of Muhammad, peace and
blessings be upon him, how he fits into
all 10 perfectly. And so if he fits into
all 10 qualifications perfectly, why do
you deny him as a prophet?
And of course, my third book that I'm
right working on right now, inshallah,
is did Jesus say I am God or worship me?
That's clear. and he didn't. He called
people to worship the creator, not the
creation. Thank you. We're out of time.
We got to go. Hopefully, we'll have you
back again soon. Thank you. And and like
so many of our guests, they go through a
phase in life, a transition chasing the
material world, parties,
music, entertainment, and they see that
this doesn't bring happiness or peace to
the soul. And then he went on his search
to look for the creator, to submit to
the creator. And he went through the
monastery and he saw after meeting a
Muslim that they raised some doubts,
some questions there. And then he
actually had a dialogue with this Muslim
for three months. And then from there
the proof and the evidence was so
overwhelming that his sincerity now
forced him to accept this truth. So
that's is the first quality that we need
to have that sincerity that that earnest
desire to really want to do what God
wants us to do. And then he became a
Muslim, one who did what Jesus did,
submit to the will of God, to submit to
the creator, not the creation. And today
he was here sharing his story. So I hope
you got to benefit from it. And you can
be here with us every week as we share
people's stories from all over the world
because Islam is the fastest growing way
of life. And these are intelligent
people. These are people who are using
their brains. They're shrewd. They're
wise. And they're investigating. So
that's the thing that you got to be.
