Former MTV host Kristiane Backer stated that former Prime Minister Imran Khan inspired him to convert to Islam.
Backer told Pakistani media at an event that Imran Khan influenced her conversion to Islam. In 1995, she converted to Islam.
“I wish Imran Khan will remain safe and that Pakistan should treat him with the respect that he is due. He is hugely popular. He is a great leader and he has a vision, not everything worked out the way he envisioned. But his heart is in the right place. He inspired me so much and I converted to Islam because of his teachings and inspiration. I can tell you one thing, have you seen a Sufi terrorist?.”
