(The original Omar was Islam's second Caliph and is reviled by Shi'ites who believe he worked against the interests of Ali, the son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad.)

Lacking formal religious training, he prayed incessantly and consulted frequently with religious advisers--attempts, perhaps, to shed his murderous past and reinvent himself as a savior of Islam.
