converting as in leaving another religion, or converting as in becoming a muslim (and weren't really practicing before)?  Props either way, god is very important to us.  Get you some.  LOL

why does it baffle you that people convert to Islam, pehaps people see Islam filling a spritual void they have in their life, if u dont see it dont mean others dont, islam is the fastest growing religion in the world, and by 2025, it will be the 2nd biggest religion in the world,just letng u know its not that baffling

Talib Kweli isn't a Muslim or Christian, he's spiritual though, that's about all I can tell ya, he was talking about it on BET a couple months ago in an interview, correct me if you've heard different.

And 2pac may not have completely converted to Islam, (that I'm aware of, but on one of his tracks on "Stil I Rise" (with the Outlaws) that he made just before he died, they wish for an 'Islamic State'...
