Catholic saints with a Muslim father.

Saints Nunilo and Alodia were a pair of 9th c. virgin martyrs in Huesca, Spain.  They were born to a Muslim father and Christian mother.  However, they chose their mother’s Christianity. And so during the Emirate of Abd ar-Rahman II it came to pass that these little girls were first put in a brothel and then were executed as apostates according to Sharia law. Their feast day is 22 October.  Source: http://wdtprs.com/blog/2010/08/a-counter-proposal-for-the-mosque-at-ground-zero/
