.. US filmmaker Sean Stone, son of Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone, converted to Islam on Tuesday in Iran, where he is making a documentary, he told AFP.
"The conversion to Islam is not abandoning Christianity or Judaism, which I was born with. It means I have accepted Mohammad and other prophets," he said in a brief telephone call from the central Iranian city of Isfahan, where he underwent the ceremony.
Sean Stone's famous father is Jewish, while his mother is Christian.
The 27-year-old filmmaker did not say why he converted.
According to Iran's Fars news agency, Sean Stone had become a Shiite and had chosen to be known by the Muslim first name Ali.
Sean/Ali Stone has acted in minor roles in several of his father's films, and has directed a handful of documentaries.

This is what happens when one’s father smokes pot though a shotgun barrel.
uhhh...I would not mention the fact that I was a Muslim who still believed in Christianity and Judaism before leaving Iran. Otherwise he’ll come back sans head.
It will be a delicious bit of schadenfreude when he gets arrested.
This is what happens when people don’t teach their children the truth.
If young people aren’t filled with the truth and knowledge of God, they fall for anything.
I'll guess he converted because BUDDISM was too PEACEFUL for a NUT like him.
He’s a fool, just like his father.
So whose time you wasting with that post Chuck, Jazzo's or the rest of us who stupidly clicked on it? dumbass.......
Not exactly Chesterton, but close enough.
“When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing — they believe in anything.”
This quotation actually comes from page 211 of Émile Cammaerts’ bookThe Laughing Prophet : The Seven Virtues and G. K. Chesterton (1937) in which he quotes Chesterton as having Father Brown say, in “The Oracle of the Dog” (1923): “It’s the first effect of not believing in God that you lose your common sense.” Cammaerts then interposes his own analysis between further quotes from Father Brown: “’It’s drowning all your old rationalism and scepticism, it’s coming in like a sea; and the name of it is superstition.’ The first effect of not believing in God is to believe in anything: ‘And a dog is an omen and a cat is a mystery.’” Note that the remark about believing in anything is outside the quotation marks — it is Cammaerts.
“The conversion to Islam is not abandoning Christianity or Judaism, which I was born with. It means I have accepted Mohammad and other prophets,”
Just keep telling yourself that...
You know if Oliver would convert then he could be know as Ollie Stone and with his son Ali.
