Oliver Stone’s Son Converts to Islam: The “Islamization” of Hollywood Continues?

Islamophobes are all upset that Oliver Stone’s son Sean Stone converted to Islam.

For some reason the Islamophobes are hurt by this, perhaps they believe that Hollywood is about to be overtaken by Muslims or that it is a symbol of the Leftist-Muslamic axis of evil. First it was Liam Neeson and now Oliver Stone’s director son!:

Oliver Stone’s Son Converts to Islam in Iran

Tehran, Iran (CNN) – The son of Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone converted to Islam in a ceremony in central Iran, a national news agency reported.

Sean Stone became a Shiite Muslim in the city of Esfahan Tuesday and chose Ali as his new Islamic name, the semi-official Fars News Agency reported.

“The conversion to Islam is not abandoning Christianity or Judaism, which I was born with,” Stone told Fars News Agency. “It means I have accepted Mohammad and other prophets.”

He did not say why he converted.

Stone, 27, is also a filmmaker and has collaborated on his father’s projects. His father is Jewish and his mother, Christian.

Oliver Stone directed “Platoon,” “Born on the Fourth of July” and “JFK.”

  1. Well, that makes sense since Hollywood is a bastion of rampant christianity. All those do-gooders and selfless people and whatnot.

  3. I wouldn’t worry too much. It seems everything bothers those that are phobic whether it is homophobia, or islamophobia.

  11. He “converted” from nothing. He had a hunger for God and having one Jewish parent and one Christian parent assured he was raised with no firm religious belief. So he went half-way around the world and found God. At least it’s the same God of Abraham, not Buddhism.

  23. Liam Neeson is Muslim? Wow! This is pretty cool. It seems a lot of famous people have become Muslim in the last few years.

  24. Diane Torres, a simple google search “Liam Neeson Muslim” will reveal almost 200,000 links in which Neeson said (after shooting his new movie “The Grey”) that he may become Muslim because the call to prayer got “into his spirit”.

  26. Religion is a choice. No religion over another in the USA. Religion is not better than non- religion. Non- religion is not better than religion. This is the legal basis of the,” Establishment Clause” in the first Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
    There is no state religion in the USA.

  28. Growth of Islam scares them, and I don’t understand why. When Europe was being ‘Christanizationed’ we had blood shed like no other, crusades and inquisitions. Islam spread and we had universities and institutes for scientific and religious knowledge. When Islam flourished we made leaps and bounds in technology and sciences. When Chrsitianity ‘flourished’ it was thronged into the Dark Ages, literally, and only was able to survive when it started to make it’s religion less important in it’s societies.

  30. I sometimes wonder if anyone in Hollywood has a brain. There is a good reason they call it Hollyweird.

    The Islamophiles can be so proud of this useful idiot.

  31. Islam is the only faith of the three that constantly thanks god, and they don’t want that. they want a world were your god is the corporation that gives you these worthless meaningless things , that really never fill you like faith can. Islam is and always will be the one and only true religion iinsha allah.

    //Susan Gaar via Facebook

  34. @Susan Gaar. It seems like some of these right wing kooks believe in religious freedom insofar as it applies to their religion. If it applies to someone elses religion, or someone’s right to be protected from religion at all, all of a sudden they’re screaming about how there is a “war against religion.”

  37. this is no different than when celebrities ‘converted’ to forms of Judaism (the kabaala) Buddism or explored Tibetan faiths back in the 90’s. The interesting thing to me is that people associate Islam (because it’s relatively more strict in practice) with being closed off to other religions. It does insist that Mohammed is the only prophet, yet He did say in the article that he’s accepted other prophets too, which seems contrary to what all my Muslim friends say is ‘kosher’. (anyone here care to comment on this aspect?) My prediction is that these converts have not joined the faith in quite the same sense that many Muslims would recognize as their style of faith. (Maybe even not qualifying as true faith to certain subscribers, which is also nothing new when celebrities go religious.) Interesting.

  40. If his quote, “not abandoning Christianity or Judaism” means anything at all, it only illustrates his lack of understanding of the term ‘conversion’.

    I can well understand his search for God, given his background and agreeing with Pam, but he does seem to have missed a few middle school classes in English.

    Each of the religions, Christianity, Judaism and the Muslim faith, look to the same God, Father of us all, but each follows a completely different path and by adhering to one, you most definitely leave the others behind.

  41. Lucas Fahey, Prophet Mohamad (s) is not the only prophet according to Islam but the last prophet , the seal of the prophets. (Holy Quran, 33:40) … and that certain subscriber you have mentioned is not only ignorant to label shiite Muslims non Muslims but arrogant as well… Shiites believe in Allah (sob7anaho wa ta3ala) like any other Muslims, recognize the same prophets, follow the teachings of prophet Mohamad (s) , have the same Holy Book, the Quran like any other Muslims. Today there are so many ways to learn about basically anything that crosses our minds yet many choose to remain ignorant. Peace be upon you all ! <3

  42. Raees Romero, which determines a person is Muslim or not is not Sunni or Shia. However, he considered Muslims as long as he acknowledges Allah as God, Muhammad as a messenger and practice the teachings of the Quran.

  43. Shia,shiism,shiite is not Islam, and alot of them use unity,kalimah tayyibiya,etc. as a “smokescreen” for their corrupted versions of aqeeda(belief) such as their hatred of sahaba,12imam,self-mutilation,and the list goes on….which there is no proof from the Quran&Sunnah,speaking of which, Quran& authentic(sahih) gives clear and undisputable proof and truth against all their innovations and corrupted beliefs, all i can do is make dua that Allah(swt) guides them to a true understanding of deen(Islam) and guide them! Period!

  46. you assume just because he’s from hollywood he has to be an idiot? That hardly seems fair. I admire the dedication he’s shown, no matter what his belief. To travel to the other side of the world for his beliefs shows that he has sensed a true calling, especially as it was only on Iranian media, precluding some attempt at a publicity ploy

  59. I think one of the ironies of the current wave of Islamophobia is that it has created some ‘blowback’ against the Islamophobes – it has led to some more thoughtful Americans finding out more about Islam and discovering that it has a lot to offer.
