I think you must be confusing Hayreddin Pasha (Admiral Barbarossa) with some other historical figure? He and his brothers were all born Muslim.

BTW, there's a new Turkish TV series based on him (the same lead actor that played Ertugrul in that smash hit series)

You mean brought up to be Muslims. No one is born with religious beliefs or faith.

You are right the was always Muslim.

> You mean brought up to be Muslims. No one is born with religious beliefs or faith.

In Islam, it is common belief that all people are born Muslim, then their parents may choose to lead them away into another religion.

That's why for people who convert to Islam later in life (muallaf) it is sometimes said that they reverted.
