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

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'...

Sorry, caTASHtrophe, there's a bit of confusion here - I thought I WAS quoting techniec, who said he was muslim and uses the word "fuck" in his signature.
No offense or disrespect intended to either of you ;)

Why am I ignorant, or an idiot? I asked a simple question, and said I meant no disrespect or offence.
Swear or don't swear, I could give a fuck.
A lot of people put on a spiritual pose, but fail to act in a respectful or decent manner, which is actually disrespectful to their "religion", whatever it is.
