O.J. Simpson is set to convert to Islam.

The former American footballer and movie star has been imprisoned in Nevada since 2008 on charges of kidnapping and armed robbery in relation to an armed robbery that took place at the Palace Station hotel-and-casino in Las Vegas in which sports memorabilia was taken.

After seeing his appeal for a re-trial quashed last and being informed in July 2013 he will serve at least another four years, Simpson has embraced the religion in a bid to change his life.

The issue of black or the occasional Hispanic man "converting" to Islam, probably has had its origins with the NEA "public school inner city education standards" telling black children that they are hopeless due to "whitey," the man," and "institutional racism" woven in the fabric of America and dating back to slavery.

How can we know about the evils of racism in America, Bill Cosby is/was one of the richest, most popular entertainers in America, Oprah is the richest woman in America, the voters elected a second time, America's first black President!

Yep, Islam preaches hatred of white Christian American society.

No wonder OJ is "converting," considering his impoverished bigoted status!

And further, if you obey its rules, then if anything bad happens to you it’s not your fault or responsibility.

Very interesting perspective you must have. What do you mean by this comment?

Islam absolves the believer of any responsibility for doing bad things.

Even small things.

For example, if you drop a cup and it breaks on the floor, they will say, "The cup fell from my hands." Putting the onus on 'the cup'.

Or if you trip on a rug that has a fold standing up, they will say, "The rug rose and tripped my foot." thus saying the rug caused my fall, so not my fault.................

Doing a minimum of research on BLT (not bacon, lettuce and tomato, but black liberation theology) it’s easy to see that wright and his clowns are about on the same level as isis. Of course mr. inattentive never heard any of this crap in the 20 years sitting in the pews.

Uh, yeah, except for the actual returning to africa part. Even they know how bad it sucks over there so why would they actually go back and try to improve things? “Alex haley, please pick up the courtesy phone.” “Roots.” A fictional story.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots:_The_Saga_of_an_American_Family

From wiki:

Harvard University professor Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. was a personal friend of Haley, but years after his death Gates acknowledged doubts about the author’s claims. He said,

“Most of us feel it’s highly unlikely that Alex actually found the village whence his ancestors sprang. Roots is a work of the imagination rather than strict historical scholarship. It was an important event because it captured everyone’s imagination.”[28]

Gates later was the host of African American Lives, a TV series that relied on research by historians and genealogists, but also on DNA testing, to reveal to prominent American figures facts of their family histories.

Islam is a religion created by a murderer and a thief for murderers and thieves.

So, his conversion is appropriate.

When prisoners accept Christ in prison it is with a sense of repentance, sorrow for what they had done and a conviction to accept responsibility for their past actions and turn their lives around.

When prisoners convert to islam in prison, there is no consideration of repentance. Islam gives them all the excuses they need to blame others for their plight, foment hatred (and violence), indulge their infantile sense of self esteem (such as it is) and demands for ‘respect’. The LAST thing islam will ask of them is to reconsider their past actions or take personal responsibility.

“Only with young boys”

Actually, just with anyone weaker.

Prison rape is AOK with Islam.

Very interesting. Your comments reminded me of something. The following is from "The Worldview that Makes the Underclass” by Anthony Danielsby in the May/June Issue of Imprimis:
It was in the prison that I first realized I should listen carefully, not only to what people said, but to the way that they said it. I noticed, for example, that murderers who had stabbed someone always said of the fatal moment that “the knife went in.”

This was an interesting locution, because it implied that it was the knife that guided the hand rather than the hand that guided the knife. It is clear that this locution serves to absolve the culprit, at least in his own mind, from his responsibility for his act.

It also seeks to persuade the listener that the culprit is not really guilty, that something other than his decisions led to the death of the victim. This was so even if the victim was a man against whom the perpetrator was known to have a serious grudge, and whom he sought out at the other side of the city having carried a knife with him.

The human mind is a subtle instrument, and something more than straightforward lying was going on here. The culprit both believed what he was saying and knew perfectly well at the same time that it was nonsense.

No doubt this kind of bad faith is not unique to the type of people I encountered in the hospital and the prison. In Shakespeare’s King Lear, Edmund, the evil son of the Earl of Gloucester, says:

This is the excellent foppery of the world: that when we are sick in fortune—often the surfeit of our own behaviour—we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars, as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers, by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on. An admirable evasion of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish disposition to the charge of a star!
In other words, it wasn’t me.

“Most of these men were raised in Christian churches.”

I spent most of my youth in garages, a barn, cotton fields, or on a football field.

Still not a car, a horse, cotton ball, or a football.
