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.
A source told National Enquirer magazine: "O.J. really thought that he was going to be successful in a bid for a new trial and eventually be released from prison.
"But now he's not eligible for parole until late 2017, which has angered him."
The disgraced 67-year-old star has become interested in the religion through his friendship with former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, who was imprisoned in the early 1990s and is a devout Muslim.
Simpson has been studying the Koran but failed to successfully fast during the holy month of Ramadan.
An inside said: "O.J. didn't quite make it through the entire fasting process.
"He cheated during the day, and bought snacks from the prison canteen. But he's really serious about converting to Islam. O.J. even made himself a prayer rug for his prison cell. He really likes the idea that upon converting to Islam, all of his previous sins are forgiven. O.J. has a lot to be forgiven for."
He has his knifework down
He’s sure qualified for it.
Think OJ will get in a jeep and ride around with his friends from ISIS waving machine guns around?
Evil is as evil does.
New name: Abdul Al Slash
Another way to get a head.
Blacks went from Slaves, then Slaves of the Democratic Party and now Slaves of Islam
Learning anything, anything at all, from mike Tyson?
He gets a special muzzie award for creative throat slicing.
Too bad he didn't become interested in the Word of God instead of a vicious, false political system that pretends to be a religion.
Not really. According to Islam, on the day of judgment Allah will weight you good works and your bad works...whichever way the scale tips determines if you're headed up or down. Unless you commit jihad, then it's an automatic trip to "paradise".
OJ would be wise to convert to Christianity. It's the only religion that promises complete forgiveness of sins based on faith in Christ regardless of how good or bad you are.
Maybe Allah will help him find the real killer? /sarc
you bad—lol
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. He's already taken Beheading 101.
I don't think I'd be lending an ear to Mike Tyson for dietary advice, though.
We can only hope that this conversion will help OJ find the real killers.
RE: He’s sure qualified for it.
ISIS would be proud of both his work with Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
He’s got the whole honor killing thing down.
