there are a lot of confused people out there. Fortunately, I am not one of them.

Anything is possible. Do we have a list of all those who went from Islam to Christianity? That'd be a good contrast too! Good luck, and may God continue to shine on you. -Shalom

Why would I care? I suppose if you're overly influenced by what others do, you might feel the need to convert because other people did it, but personally, I don't care.

alhamdu lillah rab el'alameen

Maybe. Why should I care? And that's too many people to look up. Why not just Google them? I did the first one, and yes, he did convert to Islam.

Calling Muhammad Ali a Muslim is a stretch. Calling Kareem Abdul Jabbar the greatest basketball player of all time is delusional.

Wow, famous people did it??? Where do I sign up???

Don't forget Nikolas anelka.

That's good.

to be conviting to Islam on real people and fame doesn't mean to have the truth from others,as u get on their names ,why dont u get their adresses and ask them if it is true or not.

Hell no, NOT ALL famous people converted to islam. DO NOT LET THE DECEIVERS FEED YOU THAT LOAD OF CRAP! islam -- that's certainly one evil religion, if one conforms to it in any strict way. Example? An unmarried pregnant woman told the prophet and founder allah about being pregnant and unmarried. That satanic prophet told her to have the baby and then return. She did. He then told her to give it to an orphanage and return. She did. HE THEN HAD HER BEHEADED! If that isn't the essence of ephin' evil, then we all should want to be. Malcolm X had, as his hobby, the raping of white women -- there's a dedicated moslem piece of manure for ya'. Hell no! Stay the hell away from that cult. With satanists we know them to be followers of evil, and they do not dispute that. What makes islam even worse is that it hides beneath the burka of morality but, with its evil and violent acts, is entirely satan's greatest bowel movement. No I do not favor ANY religion, because they're all found wanting -- islam the worst of all!

It is a matter of considering the truth! Whoso have recognise it would never take a chance on eternal life. The reason? There are Believers of the People of the Book but it is just safe to having faith as a Muslim, as Islam honours all the prophets corrects many concepts mistkenly inadvertently practiced by both the Jews Christians.
