This is not my own belief let alone a blind one. It is the belief of an established faith which is head to head dealing with matters in the modern day and of the middle ages, no doubt it shall continue to be sufficient until the End of Days.
The difference between you and me is that you choose not to believe in religion based on your own self-asserted circular opinions. I base my belief on an established system which has brought to us authenticity of narration and crucial evidence that no atheist can reasonably deny.
Beside you are free to believe in fiction, but I urge you to comprehend that you are just as free to believe in the unmistakable truth.
If rationality and reason is the qualifier for irreligious people then I'm sorry you must be a person of faith!
Your wasting your time on me. Go give your 'Islam is awesome' sales pitch to somebody else. This one ain't falling for this crap.

Right ... my 'Islam is awesome' sales pitch ... hehehe that is a good one, I wonder what my sales incentive is?
But you have demonstrated with your lyrics above that it is your like who are demonstrating the most intolerance. At least you can say Islam has given me the manners that your lack of beliefs has failed to give you.
He’s started off his Islâmic life by cross–dressing? When Islâm clearly denounces men and women dressing in each others’ clothing? Perhaps he thought both genders can wear it…
When you asked the question first time it did not deserve an answer, it does not deserve an answer now either ... he is not in an abaya, nor is he in hijab. The newspapers have habits of making subliminal suggestions. You've just taken the bait.
He's been hiding from paparazzi's for a long time, he sometimes comes out with his face showing sometimes he is covered and his kids are always covered. He needs to be given a break I don't think we can imagine the trauma associated to being followed by photographers all the time.
sure i get it. he gets paparazzi everywhere so needs to cover up, but surely he could cover up in ways other than female clothing? hes wearing the hijab gloves for gods sake, is he also hiding his hands?
frankly i think he is far too unstable to be considered a big ‘get’ for Muslims. one should approach with caution someone with that kind of history of mental instability and personal misconduct. not much different from the recent non-news of Britney Spears bibi considering embracing Islam.
Well if that skin tight outfit with slits on its sides is a burqa then I am mistaken. He’s been wearing gloves since the 80s albeit they were white in colour.
The only female thing I see is the scarf. In time inshaAllah he’ll be able to shed his baggage from his previous life.
Even Malcolm X took time to become a Muslim moving first into a cult. What you see is not the affects of Islam on him, but the legacy of his life as a very affluent superstar. InshaAllah in time he will perhaps better resemble people like Warnsby and his elder brother.
He has been scorned by the rest of society for his immoral deviancy and this was probably his best choice to find acceptance among adoring fans - seemingly his sole reason for existence. He is now a member of a group where some brothers will accept him unconditonally because of his professed beliefs.
People who would usually judge someone by their adherence to the customs of their idol, will overlook and even make excuses for him dressing like a woman, molesting children, having children out of wedlock, encouraging children to live a decadent lifestyle with his music, not being a man of his word, disfiguring his body, etc, etc.
Things that are usually condemned categorically are now over looked because he is one of us. He validates us, we validate him. It's a win, win. Nevermind that he isn't thumbing his nose (what's left of it) at the decadent western society (which is very much a part of him and he a part of it) to become part of a superior faith, they have thumbed their nose at him.
I again say all the negative hype against him can now be explained.
If he wants to have media talk good about him, he has to make statement against islam and muslims.
If he really comes out and say yes he has embraced islam, half muslims will say come on dude we already have bad name in media why add to it. You better stay where you are. Half will say screw everyone come and join us and welcome. You are destined towards Jannat.
Many non-muslims will say, see told you only unstable, mentally sick people could do such a terrible thing.

In a way your twisted assertions are absolutely true and I have nothing to his in this matter. When people embrace Islam their past sins are forgiven. However, when they become Muslim we should not expect them to become angels straight away, for many Muslims are not good people, but rather we should encourage him to better himself and remove his demons. And if he has joined Islam to be recognised, then good on him, but for sure he would not have become a Muslim without guidance and surety on this matter, anyone willingly choosing Islam knows exactly what is coming in the way of insults and taunts.
