The Venezuelan-born Greek converted to Islam for the eyes of Princess Inan!…
EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis) Jameel Alexander Thermiotis was born in Caracas, Venezuela, to Alexandros Thermiotis and Corina Hernández in 1994, making him 28 years old today. He’s the eldest of three siblings; one is a girl, Alexia, and the other is a boy, Alejandros. He comes from a prominent Greek family that maintains a solid connection to their heritage with frequent trips to the Greek island of Andros. He attended private school while growing up in Venezuela and attended college in the United States. Thermiotis graduated in 2015 with a specialization in Business Administration and Business Finance from Florida International University, which set him up for his future career in finance. He spearheaded a venture capital firm called Outbound Ventures LLC after graduation and is now a managing partner at a New York City venture capital firm. Princess Iman and Jameel Alexander Thermiotis dated for three years before he popped the question. Her family expressed their support and warm wishes for the couple in the days following on social media. Queen Rania congratulated the couple, wishing them “a life filled with love and laughter,” followed by a post from Princess Iman’s brother, Al Hussein bin Abdullah II. He posted a photograph of the three of them together with the caption, “warmest congratulations to my dear sister Iman and to her fiancé Jameel on their engagement. I wish you a lifetime of happiness together.”

More celebrations await the royal family. Hussein is expected to marry Rajwa Al Saif, an architect who studied at Syracuse University, in June.
Congratulations dumbass! If you were baptized Orthodox, you have just thrown away the One Catholic Apostolic True Kingdom for an earthly, demonic, false one! The Holy Spirit has evacuated and is no longer with you, Jameel!
Lord have mercy…….
The guy obviously was weak willed, wishy washy, and not very well grounded in Orthodoxy. Obviously.
Seriously, the vapid dude was never Orthodox in his heart –
another betrayer of Christ
Oh, Come On. His Mom wasn’t Greek; usually when the mom is not Greek and only the Father is– the children do not always go with the paternal religion. Is Ms. Hernandez Greek Orthodox? More info needed here..
Hmm… What Greeks name their boys Jameel?
Was the name “Jameel” his given name at birth- or at Islam ‘conversion?
Just looked it up- he was baptized “Demetrios”- was known as “Jimmy” and was given their version of Jimmy– “Jameel.”
What would have been wrong with a secular wedding?
I wonder what will happen when some years down the road he suddenly wakes up and realizes what he did.
He married into a royal blood that is older than 3000 years and an exteremly wealthy family
Who is he! A Commoner yonani
She made huuuuge mistake
This is very sad story.
This is about as ridiculous as changing one’s sex. How do you go from being a Christian to Islam? Twisted faith.
Are we certain he was baptized in the Orthodox faith or assuming so because he is Greek. I don’t know if there is an Orthodox Church in Venezuela or that there was any effort to catechize him. Under the influence of his mother he may have been baptized In the Catholic Church. Additionally, if one does not confess faith in Christ at some point in life, I don’t know that a person can be considered a Christian.St Chrysostom said let no one say they are a Christian because they were baptized one needs repentance to fulfill baptism. Margaret, please remember that you don’t believe the Holy Spirit exists in the Orthodox church anyway.
There was a rather large and prosperous Greek community in Venezuela and there is certainly one Greek and other Orthodox Churches. The point is that he converted, a practice that is rather usual (either way) between marrying Greeks and Turks in the last few decades and in centuries past. But there is more than meets the eye in this story, as the King of Jordan is the protector of the Jerusalem Patriarchate, and he even has a permanent member (a civilian) sitting at the Holy Synod of Jerusalem!! Not to mention that Arabs and Greeks are very good friends… And that the Arabs hate the Turks more than the Greeks do…
The spiritual and eternal implications on his soul, which are admittedly between him and God, may be much more important than political coincidences. But alas!
I am amazed how easy some modern Greeks convert to other religions nowadays, when Hellenism managed to survive four hundred years the Islamic Ottoman brutal occupancy and oppression. Apparently Jameel never studied the ancient Greek philosophers, the New Testament or the Koran, to understand the difference and feel and appreciate the Hellenic Heritage.
She made a huge mistake marrying a yonani
Two happy couples are happily married
