Ice Cube

...is listed under both Christianity and undetermined former religion. Also, according to Ice Cube, he is "not for the pop charts". --Denise from the Cosby Show (talk) 01:06, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Queen Noor

Question : Should Queen Noor be in the list, as she convered so she could marry ? - the text at the top of the page would seem to say not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Codf1977 (talk • contribs) 10:49, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Marriage

There are at least three people listed on the page who have converted for reasons of marriage, before I (or someone else) removes them, I just wish to check that it is still the concessions view that they should not be on the list.

They are:

• Khaled Edward Blair - British barrister, later married Princess Badiya bint El Hassan of Jordan.
• Jemima Goldsmith daughter of the billionaire Sir James, who was married to Imran Khan
• Kishore Kumar - Famous Indian singer who converted when he married Madhubala.

Comments please. Codf1977 (talk) 07:55, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

If those are marital conversions, you can proceed with their deletion.--Chrono1084 (talk) 22:59, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

I find it very confusing, why should those who convert before marriage should not be listed? did they not convert to Islam? It should list all people who did convert to the religion regardless of marriage reasons or not because they have converted to Islam, this is a list which shows people which have converted to Islam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DinajGao (talk • contribs) 22:29, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Reports

There are several reports of conversion of Brian Lara,Neil Armstrong,Napoleon and Sunita Williams but I have no proof. Can anyone get reports?asa 05:30, 6 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mzsabusayeed (talk • contribs)

Nation of islam is not muslim

this is considered a heretical sect and thus shouldn't be on the list

It's a heretical sect but it's still a heretical sect of Islam, which has adopted many Islamic practices. Plot Spoiler (talk) 13:18, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Nation of Islam has no connection whatsoever to Islam. The name is very misleading indeed, however, through research, you will find out that the Nation of Islam believe in one god, which is the common theme amongst all Abrahamic religions including Islam. That's about the only common similarity between Islam and The Nation of Islam. Adherents of this religion believe that Fard Mohammed who founded the religion in 1930 is the equivilant of the Christian Messiah and Islam's Mahdi. Furthermore, they believe that blacks were the first humans and the white race is still evolving. With that said, Islam and the Nation of Islam could not be any more different, in fact, Christianity and Judaism have a lot in common with Islam than the Nation of Islam does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.123.124.250 (talk) 02:44, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia

Where else would such an obvious propaganda page for muslims be made.
