'Why I left Islam for Christianity' - Peller opens up on his faith, sad childhood experience

Peller Peller

Popular teenage TikToker, Peller, has opened up about his switch from Islam to Christianity, revealing a deeply personal childhood experience that led to the decision.

In a recent livestream, the social media sensation was interacting with fans when one viewer referred to him as a Muslim. But his response caught many by surprise.

Without hesitation, he replied: “I am not a Muslim. I attend church.”

Explaining his reason for converting, Peller, whose girlfriend recently confirmed their engagement, recalled how he was once a student at a Quranic school as a child.

However, the experience wasn’t one filled with peace or spiritual growth.

Instead, it left a lasting scar. He stated: “While I was young, I used to attend a Quranic school. I was beaten mercilessly,” he said during the livestream. That was why I stopped attending there.” For him, the physical discipline the content creator experienced there shaped his view of religion—and ultimately pushed him away from Islam.
