Arshad Majid's family came to America from India when he was 4, and
they
brought their religious devotion with them. Majid remembers waking up
early,
climbing onto his father's lap and watching him read the Quran.

Later, Majid learned the meaning of the "strange, squiggly" lines in
Arabic
and embraced the faith, keeping a prayer rug in his Long Island office
when
he worked as a prosecutor.
