Oliver Stone's son converts to Islam
Filmmaker Oliver Stone fully supports his son Sean's decision to convert to Islam. But Sean fears others in Hollywood may not be so accepting.
Sean Stone, who has appeared in several of his father's films, underwent a conversion ceremony in Iran Feb 12 and he has confirmed his dad is happy with his decision to become a Muslim.
"My dad said, 'Allah be with you.' My father understands that I am trying to bridge certain gaps and bring about peace," contactmusic.com quoted Stone as saying.
However, Sean fears other people in the movie industry may now be reluctant to give him work.
"Having people within the film industry express a reluctance to work with me now that I have said a simple prayer... I am sure I have (angered) some powerful people."
"People have speculated that I have done this because I am from a spoiled family or that I am lost and trying to find myself. That is ridiculous. I don't care if I get criticised. If I can open up a debate about religion and create some understanding, then it is worth it," he added.
whatever that test is.
maybe they should rquire that test to everybody ?
What test?
confirmed - test said Muslim
DC "ISA" as ISA (P.B.U.H) as he is muslim
Baburao-Ganpatr: Well diferent cultures know him by different names. Some other names besides your ISA are Hosanna, Jesus, yashwa, Immanuel, Lord, Word, Alpha and Omega, Mediator, Redeemer, Savior. There are a lot of names different people called him
I can’t wait to see how the filth-mongers of Hollyweird react to Ali Stone. Who will reject whom first?Wonderful.
I think he should move over to Iran and live in one of the cities that have a nuclear facility.
Oliver Stones son can try Bollywood maybe be as popular as The Khans...
i know only ISA (P.B.U.H)
Hey Fea_Sad i am going out for Lunch in 30 mins Still deciding on my order..
umm is that Islamic counterpart of Jesus’ second coming? lol
I can see where this Thread will eventually End.....
we will once Imam Mahdi arrives
would like to say to you don't be scared It's not like we gonna take over the world anytime soon lol
Im sure Oliver Stone was being sarcastic!
But as for this part of the article "however Sean fears other people in the movie industry will now be reluctant to give him work" then in that case I'm sure Mr Stone can try find work elsewhere.. Hopefully in far more accepting and happier environment..better for him and his eemaan!
So many souls with different faces
In one world, but from many places
We are all the same; can’t you see
Regardless of heritage; you and me
Look for the person inside, not out
THAT is what this life is all about
A choice between good or bad to make
Each person decides which road to take
Those decisions create our society today
On a self destructing path; sorry to say
Too much evil lurks in this life
Creating heartache and widespread strife
Prejudice and greed out of control
The results of such, take their toll
The wars and crime a direct result
Our land destroyed only to be rebuilt
We all need to change for the world to endure
Love one another, that is the cure
Reach out a helping hand to others
Strangers, friends, acquaintances, brothers, of sisters
Put aside those petty differences and hate
Find a common ground in which to relate
I dream of a world where peace is the norm
People working together to weather the storm
Here is to the hope that one day it comes true
A land of harmony for me and for you
...I assume that since he went to Iran that he chose the Shi's and not the Sunni side of Islam? Is this common among those who convert and if so what is wrong with converting to Sunni?
I salute those who choose islam to cross the Bridge to another World. specially those who used to criticise Islam, they should think that there is life after this life so dear go to get the truth, the peace and love, and all this you will find with our Prophet and his Family to the eternal world to reach to our creator who is known as "Allah" the magnificent and most merciful.
Good luck to him. We all make choices. Wish him well and move on brothers and sisters of QL :0)
dont mind my id miraaj :) we r the same
I appreciate your comments Baburao. But your QL ID looks somewhat different.
Sorry Mr TimePandit if these type of post looks unwanted for You.
The reason to mention or discuss the incident of conversion of religion is not to show the increase in count of muslims, Its just to show the happiness that one of our Non-Muslim Brother has agreed to follow the Last Message of Almighty.
we i meant by WE ( as muslims ) find miraaj's post appropriate
It is his Personal Decision, and One should Accept that....
When it comes to Islam, then Yes It is a Religion of Peace, but Extremists are in every Religion.....
To be honest: it really doesn't matter if people convert to Islam. As long as they don't do it here, and as long as they don't live here. This is QATARLiving! So, what does it matter? TB's reaction was totally correct and appropriate.
Alien are u taking any break ... tea tea break
Are we going to see 4 pages of Hijacked Comments???
Who knows when will our time finish...before
pls dont irritate TB hes get upset reading Islam and Islamic topics
"Now I can say " SO WHAT" Mr. timebandit. Since Islam is the religion of Peace and Truth, media is very well aware of this and thus creating propoganda against Islam and Muslims."
Oh right... I didn't know that. Thank you for correcting me.
yet another lovely morning but with yet another religion bashing post.....:(
PEACE Everyone ! no matter which religion you all follow, at the end of the day - we all are Human Beings, LOVE & PEACE should be the foremost religion we all must follow.
Cheers !
Now I can say " SO WHAT" Mr. timebandit. Since Islam is the religion of Peace and Truth, media is very well aware of this and thus creating propoganda against Islam and Muslims.
It's a pity that most of the people are dependent on news papers & news channels..
Surely PEACE lies within TRUTH and Islam is the religion of PEACE AND TRUTH
Yeah... and I see that peace on the news every day.
Timebandit: So what??
You must understand that someone has understand peace and accepted peace, if you understand.

God Bless..
Well what ever Rocks your Boat....
So what? Who cares?
