Irish actor, Liam Neeson has reportedly given up on his Catholic faith and is converting to Islam.
The Hollywood star, 59, was recently filming in Turkish city Istanbul and became fascinated with the Muslim faith during his stay.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: “The Call to Prayer happens five times a day and for the first week it drives you crazy, and then it just gets into your spirit and it’s the most beautiful, beautiful thing.
“There are 4,000 mosques in the city. Some are just stunning and it really makes me think about becoming a Muslim.”
Soon after speaking with The Sun, Liam met with prominent Muslim clerics and mullahs from Turkey and reportedly has begun the conversion.
The actor was raised in Northern Ireland as a Catholic altar boy and was named after his local priest.
On his Catholic beliefs, he said: “I was reared a Catholic but I think every day we ask ourselves, not consciously, what are we doing on this planet? What’s it all about?
“I’m constantly reading books on God or the absence of God and atheism.”
Neeson stars in the action/thriller, The Grey, which follows a number of men stranded in Alaska after a plane crash, and forced to survive using little more than their wits as a pack of wolves comes after them. It opens this weekend, January 27th.
Neeson has reportedly been seen reading a Koran and was in the middle of a meeting in Hollywood he left the room to bow to Mecca.
Could it be true?
Liam you have made a great choice, may Allah always bless you
MashaAllah, you have been blessed that the Almighty has opened your heart and soul. May Allah SWT always guide you down the right path!
If this is true…and its a Fact…I hope Liam finds what he's looking for… People tend to forget…..
All human beings are born Muslim first…(Allah created everything on this Planet (Earth)
before their parents decide when the child hits around 9+ what religion to follow…. People then later in life find Islam again by Reverting….Like our friend Liam…May Allah bless you…and make your Iman grow… I hope to meet you someday
I disagree that 'all human beings are born muslim first'
No one is born anything until their parents decide they are old enough to basically force their religion upon their child.
Its when we reach maturity we can find the right religion for ourselves.
I dont agree with his decision, but its his life.
At least he hasnt turned to Scientology.
lol…could it be a gimmick for the films promo? films releasing in 2 days …
I was hoping he would prevent the Force which is bugs in our favor they get nasty I live near a semi swamp the state used white chemical hoodies to do just weed killer here (Any offers on the table concerning bug s our enemies and the preventivitive measures other than DDT and Electric like a mist some new way tell us mabye a comment>>>) Thanks Ricky!Thats way up in the air your friend.
may we all be consumed by Peace and all it's derivitives and consequences. The Way of The Islam will sooth and relieve all the disturbances and corruption of the hearts and spirits of the sincere soon. It is The Creator's Will. What He, Allah has willed is happening as we speak. Attend The Holy Qur'an, as though that book is the greatest institution on earth. Because…………it is!.
Subhanallah its good news that Liam is blessed from Allah (swt) to embrace islam and follow in his path.MashaAllah may Allah give you all taufiq Liam and you follow Allah's will and way and follow in our prophet's sunnah….May ALLAH always bless you
May Allah bless ur life.Allahhuakbar..

There's no going back. "Whoever changes his deen, kill him." (Bukhari)
If he converts to Islam, there's no going back. Check out apostacy in Bukhari (strong Hadith)

With respect, this is a wonderful story. Islam really is a better religion as the their book of God, Koran, is unharmed and preserved than any other books in the world.
I believe Liam Neeson has made the right choice. He is a research person who did a careful study on religions. So he knows Islam and obtained information about it from a valid source and not from anti Islam sites.
He's found his path!
Actually, the koran was redacted constantly and Mohammed's later teachings abrogate his earlier peaceful teachings… a book of jihad, not peace.
The Bible has stood the test of time through unshakable evidences: Manuscript, archeology, prophesies that have been fulfilled to the day, and science… statistics, astronomy…
I can only hope that Liam doesn't fall prey to this deception…
Just want people to know that I am not RALPH. Some people feel they have to use anothers name to get attention. Im just glad that Liam didnt get sucked into the money pit known as Scientology.
MUHAMMAD & NEESON ARE 2 JERKS
Just picture a naked, six-year-old female child & a fifty-four-year-old lecherous Arab and he putting his large PENIS between the child's thighs & using them like the sides of a vagina to ejaculate. Or picture this lecherous, naked Arab sucking the "pussy" of the naked, six-year-old female child until he "shoots" his load of semen all over the place. And Allah watching & approving of his prophet debauching this innocent, six-year-old child. Allah is some FUCKING god & so is his pervert prophet!!!

AISHA WASHING SEMEN FROM MUHAMMED’S CLOTHES
From the Hadith of Bukhari:
Volume 1, Book 4, Number 229:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I used to wash the traces of Janaba (semen) from the clothes of the Prophet and he used to go for prayers while traces of water were still on it (water spots were still visible).
Volume 1, Book 4, Number 230:
Narrated 'Aisha:
as above (229).
Volume 1, Book 4, Number 231:
Narrated Sulaiman bin Yasar:
I asked 'Aisha about the clothes soiled with semen. She replied, "I used to wash it off the clothes of Allah's Apostle and he would go for the prayer while water spots were still visible. "
Volume 1, Book 4, Number 232:
Narrated 'Amr bin Maimun:
I heard Sulaiman bin Yasar talking about the clothes soiled with semen. He said that 'Aisha had said, "I used to wash it off the clothes of Allah's Apostle and he would go for the prayers while water spots were still visible on them.
Volume 1, Book 4, Number 233:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I used to wash the semen off the clothes of the Prophet and even then I used to notice one or more spots on them.
The thought of asking fellow readers to picture “a fifty-four-year-old lecherous Arab putting his large PENIS between a naked, six-year-old female child’s thighs & using them like the sides of a vagina to ejaculate” just goes to show what a sick bastard you are, who has lost his way in life. Don’t judge Muslims based on the actions of Bin Laden or Saddam, asshole.
You "showed" hadith for everything but for """ using them like the sides of a vagina to ejaculate"""
And the hadith you mention does not tell how old she was, when she did this…
You can not take some hadith, then make something up like u whant… God have mercy over you soul, Amen.
Mr Leonardo Bastardo.. are you some sort of wanker/cocksucker who is a part time porn script writer..
you are a pedopphile, it is clear from your sick imagination. you need to see a doctor. nobody wants to read your pedopphile phantasies you lunatic and do not aproach other peoples kids with your sick mind.
Shut up
YOUR AN ASS
How pathetic. Women hating, infidel hating, reason hating, life hating. I had no idea he was like that.
So you like the ritual of 5 prayers a day and the "stunning" mosques That's enough for you to condone the oppression of women is it? The stunning mosques and five prayers a day where women must stand behind a man because it is not permissable for her to stand beside him. It's not " the most beautiful, beautiful thing".Try to do a bit more research before making a public comment that gets international coverage .
Have you asked yourself why women's lines must be behind men's lines while performing Islamic prayers? If you are too lazy to look it up, at least use your mind to think about it.
Karen, give some credits to Liam Neeson. He is NOT stupid. Most of us trapped in a religion we are born into and raised to hate other religions. Islam is the religion since Adam. Does Islam really mean oppression of women??? Read the Hadith, girl and you will find Muhammad the prophet was a fighter of women freedom – so that they are protected from harm and not seen as sex objects. I mean, how can we build a god-fearing nation if their mothers or mothers-to-be are busy with booze, boys and nite-clubs? I am a Muslim woman with an amazing, god-fearing husband and 3 wonderful sons. Am I oppressed??? Do I walk behind my husband???I dunno where you get the info from but most of the time it's my husband who has to walk behind me because he's heavy with my 2 younger sons in his arms and on his shoulders or carrying the groceries I purchased with my money that I earned working as a lawyer.. which qualifications I obtained from Boston. So am I oppressed?? Karen, YOU TRY TO DO A BIT MORE RESEARCH, you will find out that Islam has placed women in the highest possible respect and women oppression most of the time has something to do with tribal traditions customs or personal attitude problems in some men.
Hello, how are you ????
my name is Mahmoud, actually i want (you) to do more research about islam, because its really
not like what you think, Islam is incredibly tolerant, beautiful, peacfull…….
such as this video that i want you to watch about a girl asking about women in islam,
(please) watch, and you will find more answers.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaOFEuin0ec
Its not about beuaty of call to prayer; its whether Jesus is the Son of God or not, and whether Muhammeds claims are greater than Christs. He apparently flew to medina on a winged horse, and the coran says camels can talk, and that the devils sleep in peoples noses at night, etc, so I think islam is simply false.
Where do you get those ridiculous info from?!!!! Please!!!
Educate yourself for God's sake!!
Just think deep….Can we people make a winged horse?Can we teach or make camels to talk?Devils?Well some people believe if they cannot see the physical of one thing then the thing does not exists. Well, can we people see the physical of wind??Can anybody show how the physical of wind looks like?Yet we believe the wind is there…This is what differentiate we people and God…limitation of power….and there is no God except ALLAH..I'm proud to be a Muslim yet I never curse or disrespect other religions because as a human I don't have the power to ask all people to believe in what I believe. We human can only presenting and explaining about what we believe in.
As a son of God, I can say there is no name on earth other then the name of Christ by which we must be saved. When you have the truth, and Jesus Christ is the truth, then and only then can you see through the darkness of the worlds false religions. Islam is darkness, and all trapped by it are in darkness.
hey Joseph, how are you?
if you do believe on what you have said,
can you watch these videos (for sheikh Ahmed Deedat), but please use your brain and heart while watching…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90S_pWdoIdU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNzt20Iden8&fe… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXZ6z4a7lek&fe…
Islam is a demonic cult. All who go to it live in darkness. Jesus is the word of God that became flesh. Salvation is for all who repent, and place their faith in Christ alone.
John u know so little. Read more and you'll know how the teachings of Jesus (prophet esha') is adherent with Islam, but they were reinvented and misused by Romans to retain their power. Romans who maltreated Jesus became the heroes in the bible they concocted. Read more for your guidance.
The amount of false information people in the west have about Islam is too shameful and too disturbing!!!
The comments above have nothing to do with my religion! I wonder if people are willing to correct their information, or maybe prejudice is just too strong a blindfold!
