Ian Brown Confesses To Muslim Pretence
Ian Brown has revealed how he pretended to be a Muslim while in prison. The iconic former Stone Roses frontman revealed in a recent interview that he temporarily converted to Islam to get better prison food.
Temporarily? Heh, guess what, there ain't no such thing as 'temporary' in Islam. | Brown served a sentence in 1999 for an air-rage conviction. He says, "My sister bought me the Koran in 1990. I always thought the stories in it were magical."
"So I'd already had a love affair with it, but when I got in jail the first day, I saw what everyone else was eating."
"I didn't know what the f**k was in the pies, but the lads said if you were Muslim you got chickpeas, lentils, rice, chicken curry on a Friday. So I said my religion was Muslim."
So, in muslim eyes, is he an apostate or merely someone using taqiyya against an infidel government?
