    How coud Obama be Muslim at heart? He never even knew his father.. What passages in the Bible did he make fun of?

    The call to prayer is beautiful....

    Ugh... If you want to criticize somebody else's intelligence, at least don't make up words to do it... An intelligent person would know the name of Islam is Islam, not Muslimism.

    And no, if you are thinking about responding with "I don't care what it's called blah blah blah" that doesn't mean it's okay to continue being stupid and not look it up. In other words, not a good excuse ;)

    As for Liam Neeson, if this is what he wants I hope he goes through with it. May Allah SWT bless him for it. The call to prayer is a beautiful, however I don't think it's enough to convert people. Maybe that is one reason, but it seems his experience in Istanbul is the reason he had considered it.

    Whatever decision he make, I'm sure he'll make whatever's best for him. Whether that is Islam or not, it's up to him.

    سلام

    He's not becoming a Muslim. That would require a disciplined conviction, which he's already proven he doesn't have by first claiming how devout he was as a Catholic growing up.

    What he is is a fickle actor who is best ignored off the screen.

    On the screen, he's among my favorites. Off the screen, he is, apparently, a fruitcup. Just as so many of them are.

    Cat Stevens was a peaceful hippy before converting to Islam. After he became Yusuf Islam, he said he would want to see Salman Rushdie burned alive for insulting Islam. He also said that if he was in an Islamic state, he would carry out Rushdie's execution, personally. He later denied making these statements (taqiyya).

    Let's see how Islam transforms Liam Neeson.

    It was a big disappointment when I found out that he converted to Islam.

    I love his music.

    Brewsky, Brewsky, Brewsky....

    Yusuf Islam never denied he said anything... He explained why he said it and what he meant when he said it.

    It's not hard to find, simple Google search comes up with plenty of results.

    And... How many times do I need to see people use the word "Taqiyah" wrong on this forum? Too much. Look up the definition of Taqiyah before you want to use foreign words, okay? Trust me, it's best to know what words in other languages means before using them yourself and by the way you use Taqiyah, you definintely don't know what it means.

    By the way. Do you even know why Cat Stevens converted in the first place?

    Why? Did converting to Islam take away his singing ability? Did it turn him a different colour? Is it because of his beard he grew?

    What's it to you whether he is a Muslim, Jew, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, athiest, scientologist (is that what it's called?), or he worships the spaghetti monster?

    This couldn't be because the guy just lost his wife, tragically, about a year ago and he is looking for some answers in his life...nah let's just make fun of him on the internet. People have times when their faith is tested, I'm glad I never had to deal with it in a public life. Instead of hating on the dude and giving him a reason to see why Christianity can be looked at as hypocritical at times, people who call themselves Christians should be praying for this man and many like him who may have lost his way and hope he can find peace with whatever he chooses.

    Conversion to Islam instantly makes one a misogynist and a homophobe.

    For instance, you're a Muslim and you oppose anal intercourse between two consenting gay men. That makes you a homophobe. Homophobes shouldn't be in North America.

    There is really something wrong with you. I can't remember the last time you replied to one of my posts without asking me what I thought about homosexuality...

    Oh wait, that was when you were talking about little girls getting their "clits clipped"... And telling me I should get laid.

    Now your all obsessed with what I think about homosexuals...

    Interesting what goes on through your mind.

    He's converting to Islam. Doesn't matter for what reason, he is converting to Islam and that's wrong. It deserves ridicule and insults and jokes, because the TV tells me Islam is bad.

    Good post, by the way :)

    It's remarkable how these far right conservative religious extremists don't see how closely their insanity is reflected by their Taliban opposite numbers.

    Except for the whole 'beheading' thing.

    Of course, to you libs, such things are considered "details".

    You're an enemy alien in time of war. What do expect? Candy and flowers? Your homophobia discredits you. In the eyes of most people in the west homophobes have no place. That is a weakness...a status crime. You belong in your homeland, not in the west.

    I'm sorry but he isn't a smart guy. And neither is the actress that played the witch queen in the narnia series. These people were not even familiar with CS Lewis and the point of his books. Just because an actor/tress portrays intelligent people, does not mean that they are intelligent.

    It's his choice if he wishes to convert.

    This is his worst decision since convincing Obi-Wan to train Darth Vader.

    lol you must be drunk or something...

    And you were probably drunk the other 4 or 5 times you asked me what I thought of homosexuality, because you don't seem to remember the 4/5 answers you got... All being the same.

    Get your troops and bases out of the Middle East, then we can talk habibi ;)

    There's a term that we use here in the States called "gone native". It sounds like Mr. Neeson has gone native on us. It is a phenomenon where a person is placed outside of his or her normal element and adapts to the environs that he or she have occupied themselves within. It's happened to me a few times when I've gone out to some native villages up here and "reverted", so to speak. I'm sure if you went out into the Outback and shacked up with some abbos you might experience a similar thing there, Mak. ;)

    Personally, I don't fault Mr. Neeson for thinking about converting. Catholicism isn't much better than Islam, in my opinion. That's why I gave up the faith early in life and became an agnostic. I didn't want to be associated with any kiddie diddlers.
