Oliver Stone's Son Converts to Islam and is now a Shiite
 
The son of Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone converted to Islam while making a documentary film in Iran, Agence France Press reports.

"The conversion to Islam is not abandoning Christianity or Judaism, which I was born with. It means I have accepted Muhammad and other prophets," he said from the Iranian city of Isfahan, where he reportedly underwent his conversion ceremony.
Iran's Fars news reports that Stone became a Shiite and chose the Muslim first name Ali.
Stone's director father is Jewish, and his mother is Christian.
Stone, 27, has directed several documentaries and had bit parts in his father's films, AFP reports.

I guess Stone's son like the idea of stoning his wife if she disrespects him, or killing his daughter if she dressed the wrong way.

Shia Islam (Arabic: شيعة‎, Shīʿah) is the second largest denomination of Islam. The followers of Shia Islam are called Shi'ites or Shias. "Shia" is the short form of the historic phrase Shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي), meaning "followers of Ali", "faction of Ali", or "party of Ali".

I don't know if I sould respond about this idiot or not. I think I will pass since it is too moronical to even comment about.

Is that me being a butthole or just me being indifferent?

Religious freedom is a great thing. If this makes him happy I'm glad for him.

I agree, and if that's what he's looking for, more power to him ... but when I see a follow up post/article that he's meeting with Iran for film financing, then I wonder if there's an ulterior motive behind his 'conversion' ... which, in this case, he could be playing with fire because the muslims don't mess around when it comes to their religion.

There's an old saying, "A wise son brings joy to his father" and I wonder how something like this happens in a jewish family with all the anti-semitic opinion in the muslim community unless there really is the ulterior motive of striking some kind of movie deal with Iran.

I agree with what SloMo said.

I have first hand knowledge of Arabic Muslims. The average everyday Arabic Muslim is a nice person. I have a friend that is in the Iraqi military and is as good of a friend as any of my American friends.

However...

The arabic people have been beaten into submission by their leaders; both religious and governmental; that some times they act like blind sheep. If Stones son did this to get money from Acmehed Adidajon.... and plans to convert back to Christianity.... I feel the boy has put his life in danger. No because he broke a vow to Muhammed but because he made the president of Iran look like a chump. (Even though he is a small, weak shell of what you could call a man)
