Stone, right, son of American Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone,
listens to chief operations officer of Reel Knights Productions,
Mellissa Carter as they attend a press conference, in Tehran, Iran,
Thursday, Sept. 8, 2011. Iran's semiofficial news agency FARS reported
that Stone is in Iran to make a documentary film.
The conversion ceremony, during which Fars news agency claims he became a Shiite Muslim, apparently took place in the Iranian city of Isfahan. During the ceremony, Stone chose “Ali” to be his Muslim first name.
The Tehran Times reports:
He went to the office of Shia cleric Ayatollah Mohammad Nasseri Dowlatabadi in the city of Isfahan on Tuesday and recited shahada, the Persian service of the Fars News Agency reported.
The shahada is the Islamic profession of the faith, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.” To convert to Islam, one simply has to recite this while believing it in one’s heart.
Stone’s mother is a Christian and his father is Jewish, although he claims that the conversion doesn’t mean he will be leaving behind the faith traditions he was raised with.
“The conversion to Islam is not abandoning Christianity or Judaism, which I was born with,” he told AFP via phone. “It means I have accepted Mohammad and other prophets.”
Stone was in the Middle Eastern nation working on a film about Rumi, a mystic poet. But, for quite some time, has has shown his admiration for the nation’s culture.
The young filmmaker also has a history of defending Iran. Reuters reports:
In an interview with TheWrap at the Toronto Film Festival in September, he supported Iran’s right to a nuclear program as a defense against threats from Israel. He said criticizing the Iranian government is “like someone coming to your house and saying the father shouldn’t hit the kids,” he said. “Who are we to tell them how to rule their country?”
“Iran is ruled by law,” said Stone (pictured with coproducer Melissa Carter in Tehran). “People don’t like Ahmadinejad, but that doesn’t warrant a war or an uprising.”
In addition to directing documentaries, Stone has appeared in a number of his father’s films.
Gilad Atzmon: Oliver Stone apologized for Telling the Truth

There you go, Oliver Stone apologized for suggesting that the Jewish lobby controls Washington's foreign policy and that Hitler's actions should be put into context.
In fact, Stone’s apology confirms Stone’s argument. We are subject to constant assault by Jewish and Israeli gatekeepers who insist on controlling the political and historical discourse and defy any possible criticism of Jewish national affairs.
“In trying to make a broader historical point about the range of atrocities the Germans committed against many people, I made a clumsy association about the Holocaust, for which I am sorry and I regret,” Stone said in a statement released late Monday, the day after his remarks were published in a British newspaper.
JTA reported today that Elan Steinberg, vice president of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and their Descendants, was among the Jewish organizations and Israeli officials to condemn the remarks.
Steinberg in a statement said Stone's apology "was necessary and we accept it. But whether he acted out of sincerity or as a desperate response to the moral outcry at his comments is an open question," he added. "He must be judged by his future words and deeds.”
Steinberg demands “sincerity” and future subservience. I would actually expect him to join Stone and be slightly more enthusiastic about historical research and contextual thinking.
Israel's propaganda minister’, Yuli Edelstein, was also among those who had condemned Stone's remarks early Monday. "They are nauseating, anti-Semitic and racist, Not only is he showing ignorance, he is demonizing Jews for no reason and returning to the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion.'
Interesting indeed. Stone doesn’t refer to race. There is nothing anti Semitic in his remark whatsoever unless telling the truth is a form of anti Semitism. Moreover, Stone didn’t demonize Jews for being Jews, he described some actions committed by Jewish institutional lobbies, actions that are now academically documented and studied. He did it for a good reason. Stone is probably patriotic or pragmatic enough to gather that peace is important.
"When a man of Stone's stature speaks in this way”, said Edelstein, “it can bring waves of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment, and may even damage Jewish communities and individuals." Edelstein is almost correct. Stone was brave enough to tell the truth about Jewish power, he probably wasn’t courageous enough to stand for it, which is understandable. However, Edelstein and other Jewish leaders better realise that Stone is far from being mad, anti Semitic or racist. Stone told the truth as we all see it.
Instead of silencing criticism, Edelstein, Steinberg and others better look in the mirror because the time is running out for Israel and its supporters

The New Yorker reported last month that at a conference last fall, Saban described his pro-Israeli formula, outlining “three ways to be influential in American politics…make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets.” ...

wasn’t looking for a religion ... I just fell in love with Islam
Meet four of the 5,000 Brits who become Muslims each year
Devout ... PCSO Jayne KempPublished: 30th January 2013EVERY year, more than 5,000 Brits convert to Islam.
More than half of those who make the switch are white – and 75 per cent are women.
But what would make someone want to change their lifestyle so dramatically? Police Community Support Officer Jayne Kemp left her Catholic roots behind after “falling in love” with Islam while helping victims of so-called honour violence.
Here EMILY FOSTER, JENNA SLOAN and EMILY FAIRBAIRN speak to Jayne and three other women about why they decided to become Muslim.
PCSO Jayne, 28
JAYNE KEMP patrols her beat wearing a traditional hijab headscarf and even works extra time after shifts so she can attend Friday prayers at her mosque.Devout Jayne converted to Islam last April and even plans to change her name to Aminah.The single mum, who patrols Eccles, Gtr Manchester, as a Police Community Support Officer, says: “I thought Islam was all about women being forced to slave away in the kitchen — but I found out it was about being generous with your time, and patient and respectful of others.“As I looked into it, I saw similarities with Catholicism and noticed values such as looking after your neighbours and cherishing the elderly, which is something older people say younger people don’t do any more.“I wasn’t looking for any religion at the time but for every question I had answered about Islam, I had five more. I think I fell in love with it.”Prayer ... a group of Muslim women pray wearing the traditional hijabDevoted Jayne even missed out on celebrating Christmas with her son, nine, and daughter, seven. She sent them off to their dad’s and cooked her own meal so it would be halal — the meat slaughtered in the manner prescribed by Sharia law.And despite the drastic change, Jayne says colleagues at Greater Manchester Police and her family have been supportive. She is now helping to design a regulation police hijab and tunic — as one has never been needed before.Jayne says: “I was worried about what my colleagues would think but they have been so understanding.“People in Eccles have been great too — most don’t even mention it. If my children had struggled with me covering my hair I wouldn’t have done it.“They have both asked a lot about it but I would never push Islam on them and they will be brought up Catholic.“I just hope by speaking out I can show it is OK for a Muslim woman to work in the police force and change negative Islam stereotypes.Respectful ... Jayne says she found similarities between Islam and Catholicism“My family, in general, are supportive. If I’m happy, they’re happy. My sister said I’m the happiest she’s ever seen me.”Jayne was inspired to convert to Islam after chatting to other Muslims on Twitter.Muhammad Manzoor, who runs Muslim Twitter account Local Masjid from his home in Whalley Range, Manchester, helped her make the transition.He said: “I was humbled Jayne was asking me these questions.“She has found this religion for herself and hopefully it shows Muslims can mix in society without compromising their faith.”Student Alana, 21
ALANA BLOCKLEY, a media student who lives in Glasgow, converted to Islam after meeting her husband Abdul on holiday in June 2010. She says:My family are all travellers and we live on a caravan site. I was baptised as a Christian but church and religion were never a big part of my life.I was 18 when I decided I wanted to go out to the Canaries. I wanted to work as a club rep and have the experiences people say you should when you’re young.I arrived in Fuerteventura and after a couple of days, a hotel maintenance man offered to take me out for a coffee. He was Abdul, a Muslim from Morocco.Preaching to the converted ... Alana, right, and pictured wih her husband AbdulWhen I got home he asked me to come back and visit him – and after three visits we knew we wanted to be together.I started to research Islam because I wanted to know more about his life.I decided I wanted to convert. I was worried about telling my parents and burst into tears. Mum thought I was pregnant and my dad thought I’d crashed my car.I started to wear the hijab last summer. We got married in a Muslim ceremony earlier this month in Fuerteventura.I miss eating Parma ham but I don’t miss alcohol.I celebrate Eid now, but I compromised with my parents and we all had a halal Christmas dinner.I hope I’m going to heaven now and I like the rules of Islam.Jobseeker Claire, 24
CLAIRE EVANS converted to Islam last July after researching it following a break-up. Claire, from Bridgend, South Wales, says:After my heart was broken by a Muslim man, I wanted nothing more to do with the religion – I thought it was cruel and unkind.But my mum started looking up more about Islam and pointed out the way this man had behaved was contrary to the faith’s teachings.I read up on it and discovered that Islam actually promotes tranquillity and peace.Heartbreak ... Claire converted to Islam after breaking up with a Muslim manI wasn’t religious before I converted. I didn’t really believe in God. I now cover my hair and wear a hijab, which was a big decision. My dad doesn’t like it, though, and I don’t wear the hijab when I’m with him.At first I got some stares and nasty comments but in the past six months I’ve grown in confidence. Now I go to the mosque once a week and I pray every day.I also took a Muslim name, Safir, but I still use my old name of Claire too. I have a new partner too, who is a Muslim, but we’re not settling down just yet.Islam has made me calmer and, for the first time in my life, I feel accepted.There’s not much I miss about my old life, except the odd sausage roll – I can’t eat pork now.Model Ayesha, 24
AYESHA OLUMIDE, from Edinburgh, is a model who works under her original name of Eunice. She converted to Islam in 2009 while at university. She says:Before converting to Islam I was a Christian – but where my family is from in West Africa, Islam and Christianity are both practised. But it wasn’t until I started studying philosophy at university that I began to learn more about Islam.At first I was worried it would be too extreme but when I studied the Koran it blew my mind. The theories about nature and science appealed and I felt enlightened. You can’t always explain everything in a scientific way and Islam helps me with that.I was first scouted as a model while a 15-year-old tomboy. I was into football and athletics – but a career in fashion is all about looks. Converting to Islam made me realise how much we value people if society thinks they’re beautiful.Model behaviour ... at first Ayesha found it hard to 'square being a Muslim with being a model'At the mosque, women cover their head and dress modestly, so no one is judging you on what you look like. At first I found it hard to square being a Muslim with being a model. But I spoke to a Muslim sister and she said Islam is not an extreme religion, so if it felt too extreme to me it probably wasn’t right.Now I cover my hair for 99 per cent of the time but if I don’t want to when I wake up one day, I don’t. And I don’t do any bikini or underwear shoots.I don’t have set days at the mosque but I do go often and I pray every day. I would like to start a family in the future but don’t think I’d marry a non-Muslim.
Make Me A Muslim is on BBC3 tonight at 9pm.
