Islam is the fastest-growing religion globally and with with the United States of America being touted a “Great Melting Pot”, it is not surprising to see many celebrities adhering to many different faiths, Islam included. Some of them on our list may be popularly so, but a majority will no doubt leave readers scratching their heads, thinking: “I didn’t know!”

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

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
