Yeah we know how they are bribed with millions of dollars by the Saudis just to profess their religion. Many of them are just modelling for the religion. We arent in the dark. It hasnt just started. It has been going on for a while now. I wonder what is so attractive in the religion.....the global terrorism, enslaving of women, restriction of people's right to practice his/her desired religion or the teachings that if your arent a muslim you are against Islam or what?? Mtshewwwww

has their lives changed ?
that's the question we should be asking

Janet Jackson tho.
Who no like money?

Slave trade has been abolished. Islam is next.

T pain converted to christainity when he left jail anyway.....but who cares! He isn't living it afterall

Conversion has now become a publicity stunt for muslim converts. Its all about remaining relevant in a competative music\entertainment industry.

Conversion without godliness and change of live\heart is hoax.

kuss: has their lives changed after embracing Islam?
that's the question we should be asking

Sadly, the reverse is the case. This religious body believes and focusses more on how many pple are practising the religion than how many lives have been transformed. They bribe high profile personalities just to make them join the religion. I wonder if God sent them all that

Hmmmm

generalissimo: Yeah we know how they are bribed with millions of dollars by the Saudis just to profess their religion. Many of them are just modelling for the religion. We arent in the dark.
