Video: 500 Chinese convert to Islam after Saudi King's funeral

Nearly 500 Chinese workers in Saudi Arabia converted to Islam at the same time after they were touched by the “simplicity” of the funeral of late King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, a newspaper in the Gulf Kingdom reported on Friday.

A YouTube film published by Ajel Arabic language daily showed the 500 men gathering near their company offices in the eastern town of Jubail and receiving instructions from Saudi religious authorities on how to embrace the new religion.

“They all became Muslims after chanted through loudspeakers ‘there is no God but Allah, Mohammed (PBUH) is the messenger of Allah,” it said.
