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?
There is no difference in the three surviving Godly religion , Islam is the religion of Adam and Ibrahim, Judaism, Christianity and others came to emphasises and soften some aspects of the belief! all we need the three religions cut the politics and go back to the one God, Muslims to go back to the real Islam and respect humanity, Jews to admit reality and stop wanting to be the only chosen ones, and for the Christians to stop panicking and trying to survive on building differences.

Reg,

Guys think :
Prophet from the middle East are:
Abraham ,Lot,Isac,shmael, Jacob, Joseph, Jesus, John, Mohammed and all of the prophets are from the middle east. so put in your mind that Jesus is from the middle East and not from Liverpool and he was called terrorist by his roman enemies. Mohammed is from the same family tree as jesus, do your research and you will find out he was a submitter to God/Allah submitter mean Muslim and Muslim can be white, black, yellow or red skinned the difference between us is believing in one creator that Ellah /Allah. Liam has found the right path, path of peace and you will see he will be called many names just as Jesus was called, why? because he was a believer. Mohammed and Jesus have changed the world . Think, open your ears, open your eyes speak up and don't be the opposite.
Right religion of peace.. and No Israel.. jews must die, the holocust didn't happen to the Jews.. the mohammed was contacted by a messenger he said.. not "God" so he isn't a prophet and he took the Holy Bible and the Torah.. to make the quran.. and Jesus was to them a prophet.. and the muslim people put mohammad on the petal with "God".. so "Blessed by Mohammad" they pray to him and worship him and that is the same criticism they give to the Catholics that they have Saints.. Right..
step 1 for you: read
step 2 learn
step 3 analyze
step 4 ask questions
step 5 make up your mind
step 6 if you believe that is for your own benefit if you don't its ok Islam the religion of our for fathers starting with Abraham and ending with Mohammed (peace be upon all of them) will always exist until the deaf will listen and the blind will see and the stubborn will understand. so please follow the above steps and don't copying what newspapes say. My respect to you.
With all due respect dia, we Muslims do not worship our prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him). we follow his teachings but do not worship him. we have only one GOD to worship, the Almighty Allah. i hope you do not mislead the other readers with your misconceptions about Islam.
listen to the Call to Prayer in Istanbul where Liam first heard it below
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meRwGSpV8GI
"We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ismael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims for Him."
Quran 2:136
Islam was revealed to Abraham and Ismael and Isaac and Jacob and descendants and to Moses and Jesus and all the prophets and all were Muslims ( Who submits his will ) Quran chapter 2 verse 136.
inshaAllah
I hope you will be a Muslim immediately because I really love you and wish you the best
Liam has not giving up Christianity! so wake up guys!!
and if he dose, then no turning back, or he will be Killed!!!
And if he has 1% brain then he should not convert to a Dangerous Religion like Islam!!
There is no Love,Peace or Forgiveness in the Islam, like the other religions!
And how can all the Muslims Follow a man that: Killed, Raped and started wars! if you Islamic people have some Brain, start reading all the Quraan and with an open mind!, don't ask your Imam about explanations, use your brain,.
here are some words taken from the Quraan:
Quran (2:191-193) – “And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]… but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah.” The last part meaning of course that if they convert to Islam then stop killing them. How nice.
Quran (3:56) – “As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.”
Quran (4:89) – “They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.”
This verse is particularly interesting as it says that renegades/apostates should be murdered. Apologists use that old chestnut ‘context’, arguing, correctly or incorrectly, that this was in a time of war.
Regardless, Islam is saying at the very least, in times of war, apostates should be murdered.
Quran (8:12) – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”
Quran (9:29) – “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
‘People of the Book’ referring to Jews and Christians. Jizya is a tax that non-Muslims MUST pay under Sharia law.
Quran (9:123) – “O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.”
Qur’an (5:51) – “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Qur’an (2:223) – “Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will…” This condones rape in marriage. Polygamy (for men only of course) is also allowed in Islam.
Qur’an (4:34) – “Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.”
This condones wife-beating as a last resort(!).
Islam is a Dangurous Religion, and should be stopped!

go and f*k urself you red neck, isnt it time to update the bible like the stupid priests do every month liks it a womans mag…. u sound like a fag, trust rednecks like u to pick out what they wnat, give it up mate, islam is the fastest growing religion and there is jack sh*t u and anyone can do about that so LOL to your comment your just gonna have to suck it up fag and learn to respect other ppl's choices and religion or didnt ur mum teach u that? thats right she was too busy screwing her lesbain partner
yeah you piece of shit i hate shit talkers who make their own shit up all that shit u wrote about the quraan is gonna get u f**ked on the day of judgement. so try to say all the shit u want and soon realise what will happen to you
Is this the spirit of allah talking and thinking this way, or just your own unclean mind and heart? Then again, allah does promise muslim men a giant whore house in the sky.
hey peeps, usual forum of blind christian faithers, check out what jesus (peace be upon him) said about his enemies
''But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me'' [Luke C19 V 27]
Jesus did not speak of this as an instruction. If you read the entire chapter you will find this is taken from a parable about a king returning to find the man who buried his money. The point of the parable was to not waste the gifts God has given you. Often people such as yourself take a small piece to validate their own understanding.
I guess people on the Titanic thought the ice berg wasn't as big either…
Perhaps you should read more and google less.
Yeah about the Muslim quotes read the entire chapter or learn about the context…
First of all, and what count the most is that how you interpret the surah.you are wrong in interpreting the surah yet you act like you know everything. it's simply because you are Christian and you only want to see what you see.if you open your heart by not being very cynical to Islam, then you will know the story behind it. have you wonder why a lot of people has converting themselves to Islam these days?there MUST be something great about Islam. have you ever think about it? you need to learn more. sincerely from me.
Have you ever bothered to listen to the Quranic verses. If not, listen, you will get peace because the Quran has the verses from God.
You beleive a lie and will be damned. Beleive on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.
There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
The wicked are those who will not beleive His eternal word in Jesus Christ.
Hi Brother, Peace be on you. you know so much Quran than a normal muslim. what ever you say is right but out of context. could you please take some more time and read before and after of the verses you have quoted. Islam means peace not just like that but literally. And we Muslims get angry when some one says against Allah,Quran or his messenger(PBUH).
before we read Qur'an (2:191-193), you should read Qur'an (2:190), and it's becoming clear. sorry, i cannot read all of your statement, and my english is not good, too.
You did read the Koran, Mike??? So you know the truth…I declare that Islam is the Religion of love & peace…Islam doesn't teach any violence, anyone who did violence and terorism genuinely not Moslem…The essence of Islam is Rahmatan Lil Alamiin (Bless and Kindness Upon this Universe)…
Brother don't say like this Islam is the ever peaceful religion and these verses are in a case when the nonbelievers oppressed you as like Palestinians, Kashmirian and other oppressed nations are so they don't have the right to live in this world ? the whole world is busy to fenish their existence so what a nation must do to save their ideology or to oppressed by them ?
no you're wrong . if you have %1 brain . you don't say "dangerous religion" . tell me why don't you write down this verse:
"who had killed a person it's like he had killed all the human beings on the surface of the earth and whoever who will save a life shall be regarded as if he gave life to all the human beings on the surface of the earth." (5:32)
or this verse
" …….don't kill any soul forbidden by allah………"(6:151)
and about the women the Christianity had not respect the women .and those who said "women are animals but god had created them in human body" you just respect women when they are young but when they are old you don't. an old woman dies in her home and nobody knows until her dog eats her because of hunger. before islam the people was ashamed of girls . when the baby was girl they put her underground alive but islam made it a very big sin. remind Christianity history see if there are rights of women. remind the greedy priests remind killing the the scienetists by the priests. remind killing Galilo. remind the priests saying "earth is on an cows horn and the cow is on a fish and the fish is swimming in water. but then watch Islam about science . the prophet Mohammad ( peace be upon him) had said " look for science and if it's in China" and it's not just for men but for all humans.
and why didn't you write down this verse about Jews and Christians :
"………do not argue with the people of the book except in good taste……." (29:46)
And about Gospel it was god's word but you changed it to earn a little of money.
In the holy quran:
"Woe to those who write the book with their own hands and then say:"this is from Allah," so that they may sell it for a petty price! woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they have earned."2:79
in the bible there are to many verses that proves Jesus is not god's son . but you blind your eyes. but what you do whatever whenever you can't turn down the light of Islam. Because it's from Allah .and eventually THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH AND MUHAMMAD IS HIS PROPHET.
Catholics hated science not Christians. Isaac Newton was Christian. When was the last time we got any scientific breakthroughs or inventions from Arabia?
Years ago but they included the invention of the number 0 ,advances in surgery and medicine and 500 before Copernicus a Muslim scholar already theorised about the sun being in th centre!
Agree with you!
no you're wrong . if you have %1 brain . You don't say "dangerous religion" . Tell me why don't you write down this verse:

Oliver Stone son who has 2 degrees from Cambridge and Princeton,has converted to Islam.
Your spelling and grammar needs improving, oh and by the way, are you muslim? I guess not, you would not know the true meaning of islam. Liam Neeson did convert to Islam and that his own choice, so i suggest you make a change to your beliefs because the religion you are following seems to think that it is okay to mock and be rude and racist to others. Think through it and i hope that you will find the right path. Thank you, i didn't mean to be rude but your comments were very upsetting and it is a bad idea to express such views in a world where quite a lot of people are of the religion you are talking about.
Mike, if that is your judgment of Islam, then shall I invoke so many verses from the old and new testament which can be construed as extremely violent and dangerous.
Any religion can be portrayed as bad and or violent as you did to Islam. It is as simple as taking the quotes out of it’s intended context.
If you want to play Judge, then be fair.!
If you have religion, then you have honor;if you have sound mind, then you have dignity; IF YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE, THEN YOU HAVE RESPECT. Otherwise, you are of equal footing with the donkeys.. one of the the signs of an ignorant person is that who talk much in that which doesn't concern him. Liam, whether he has reverted or not, has his own choice.. It's his free will. To mike, i kindly suggest that you should first do further readings with matters you intend to protest against publicly for you might look like a fool explaining things with ignorant mind.
Brothers, who have commented on this guy's post, who have mentioned some words of disrespect….indeed, the highest level of forgiveness is to forgive when one is able to exact revenge (either physically or through words). You are defending Islam, yes, but remind yourself to not create the wrong image of a person who adheres to Islam.
Don't be whinner when someone step on to Islam… its not ur business mind ur own! It's just they have a brain to think more about..
then, let me tell you this HAZEL! you have no brain at all!
Then he doesnt give a dam about christians being murdered yes pray to macca liam give up on your catholic faith turn your back on jesus when judgement day comes he will turn his back on you I pray you dont convert to islam islam is evil look at all islamic countries Christians in hiding in fear of being killed tell the persecuted mother that you are converting to islam and she tell you how her child was beheaded for not converting to islam they all read the same quran dont believe any of them when they claim they love Jesus because if they did they wouldn't murder those who pray to jesus,they are out to distroy everything what your fathers fought for freedom islam isnt peace why would god offer you virgins in heaven moslim belive if you dont drink on this earth you can drink in the next life dont have many girlfriends in this life but you get plenty of virgins in the next ,so other words when you died you can have a orgies in heaven , if you follow God then you know the true God doesnt offer you this only satan,
Satan is whom you are praying. these wrong perceptions of yours about Islam has misguided you.
You have a very biased view of Islam. Islam does not sanction killing of women, children or old people even during a war. The only war Muslims can fight is a defensive war. Tell me how many Christian countries have not committed unspeakable atrocities. We love and respect all prophets. However we do not believe in Trinity because we like Jesus believe in the One, Omnipotent God. All prophets were natural successors of each other with no contradiction in the message but brought new concepts according to the times and requirement of mankind. Regarding heaven Muslims do not believe in a physical paradise. The most frequent description in the Quran is gardens below which rivers flow. Sadly, the actions of some ignorant so called Muslims have tarnished the image of Islam. However I wouldn't judge Christians by the Ku Klux Klan.
You are very repulsive and ignorant. TO BE HONEST i DNT KNOW WHY IM WRITING THIS. Islam is the true universal religion. Yes it stands for peace IF ONLY you knew. IF I WASNT A MUSLIM i WOULD BE WALKING DEAF DUmb and blind. My biggest gift in life is my I SALAM. i LOVE WEARING THE HIJAB PRAYING. ITS NOT DONE THROUGH COMPULSION. iS THERE ANY THING YOU CAN AT LEAST SAY POSITIVE ABOUT ISLAM SURELY EVERY RELIGION HAS POSITIVES. DNT BE AFRAID TO IT WILL BE TO YOUR BENEFIT. PLEASE DO MORE RESEARCH AND READING BEFORE YOU MAKE IMATURE REMARKS ABOUT THE RELIGION.
WHY DO YOU ALLOW IGNORANT FOUL MOUTHED PEOPLE TO TO POST THEIR COMMENT HERE. YOU KNOW HOW OFFENDED I AM WITH THOSE DISGUSTING REMARKS ABOUT OUR RELIGION ISLAM.
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WHEHTER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT ITS ONE OF THE FASESTEST GROWING RELIGIONS IN THE WORLD. THATS WHY ITS ALL OVER THE NEW AND WORLD. ITS A THREST TO MANY.ITS ONLY THE TRUTH THATS ALL.
Islam is truth and prominent again…All non Muslims think of second why you here on earth doing what…What is purpose of your life…think….. and Stop abusing Islam criticizing Islam..
Islam is evil… learn history.
when Islam be the evil
are islam how the followers killed every one Quds when Crusade invasion come to plastine i don't think so are the islam cause two war killed over than 30 million people i don't think so too open your brain then speak don't be like animal talk with understanding
The blind fighting the blind. There is none good, no not one.
Yeah well you keep your opinions to your self what do yous believe in nothing, you just live and die everything has purposes.
Too bad, he doesnt need your permission to convert. Really, with or without Liam, Islam is here to stay so get used to that fact.
islam 100% is a true religion.
Yes,…..a dead religion. There is no life or light in it.
These… if true, are very sad news, to renounce Christ Our Lord for a sentimental moorish prayer is so painful, us Christians who are Catholic have.. (we will know this if we truly practice our faith); beautiful, profound prayers, inspiring deep meditation, The Word of God in Holy Scripture and yes The Lord will drive You Crazy of Love to and for Him and you will be able to have that intimacy with Him if you truly Know Him, Love Him and Serve Him! To renounce Him is death of self and your beautiful soul as it has been created eternal for salvation not damnation unless you chose that.
I am sorry if these news are true for the poor soul of Liam Neeson, he must be a very confused man and for sure never knew his Faith truly, nor was truly a devout Catholic, other wise he would never comment something like this especially knowing how the moors have persecuted and killed so many Christians even today…I pray these news are hoaks and Neeson was misquoted for the sake of his soul who's made into God's Image. May God Have Mercy on us all and may Our Blessed Mother Mary guide him and all other who are on the same erroneus "journey" to the loss of God's grace .
i hope and pray to GOD that he really did convert to the religion. and i believe he has all the right to convert to any religion he's comfortable with.
What century do you live in? Moors?? Converting from Christianity to Islam is like leaving school for university. As Jesus succeeded Moses and fulfilled the Old Testament so Muhammad fulfilled the Blble and brought the final Universal Message. Read Deuteronomy 10:10 and the Song of Solomon. The Comforter and the owner of the vineyard mentioned in the Gospel refer to Muhammad. Pray that God opens your eyes to the Tuth.
Ya Allaaaaaaaah, am really glad for him,like this actor and now i like him even more for using his reason to find the one and only right path.
May Allah guide everyone to see it..Ameen.
Peace
all you haters are just straight up IGNORANT! people grow to become better and do better things in life and this is why liam decided to let islam in his life. its a the only true religion. All you haters are just like puppets listening to all the horrible things the media has to say (the only things they want u to hear.) meaning hiding the truth from everyone. And stop saying all those disturbing things because u are just disrespecting and making a fool out of yourself. i would respect other's religion as i would want others to respect my religion ISLAM.
I have read the fucking Quran. Listen people, I believe in total equality, Unwaivering brotherhood and peace at all costs. But the Muslim faith is the truest form of evil on earth. It promotes the cruelest, sickest acts of man. And persecutes people who would have peace. CONVERT OR DIE, that is what Muslim means. It is a sad truth, but truth none the less. I am not religious and for the most part I believe in the possibility of any religion with the possibility of no religion. But I REFUSE to believe under any circumstances that EVIL is the correct way. And to any Muslims who read this, do me a favor. Treat your, wives, daughters and females in general like the people they are. Absolutely, in no way less than you. Get a fucking heart, find your soul and become decent human beings.
Hey friend, before you start criticizing other people, criticize yourself first. don't get fooled 'bout what you see in the media. you talk as if you know the religion yourself. have you met all the Muslims in the world? if you don't believe in our religion, we'll respect that. but please do not say things that will offend other people or insult other religion. your words are highly offensive.
