Boxer that you never expected to be muslim

I think Chris Eubank went Muslim to become more smarter, meaning he has no faith in Allah whatsoever...just my opinion. Whatever the hell that meant, lol. Why would you ever expect or not expect someone to be a Muslim? There are lots of people out there with lots of different beliefs, this is sorta a strange topic if you ask me.

Felix Sturm Mike Tyson Bernard Hopkins Prince Naseem Chris Eubank Chagaev Ibragimov brothers Amir Khan Danny Williams Muhammad Ali Saad Muhammad Much more those are the only ones that come to mind atm

Didn't realise Felix Sturm was a Muslim. Most of these guys are muslims, but probably non practicing muslims i.e dont pray 5 times a day etc, but still Muslims.

prince naseem:pat:

Many Muslim Turks settled in Bosnia too. Some Bosnian Muslims are of Turkish heritage, some of Slavic heritage. that is true props for knowing that

I was seeing wikpedia and i seen something i never though of it. Chris Eubank and Felix Strum are muslims. here is the website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_athletes Felix Strum real name is Adnan Catic and he is Bonsinian orgin. Danny William I heard before. one of them is even a Mexician Ahemd Santos ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Santos) not actully was a good boxer but he is a well known newspaper columnist. anybody got some story of how they converted to Islam? John Ruiz :sucks:

Bosnian muslims are mostly secular, there are no radical muslim movements among them.... They were once Serbs or Croats but they converted to islam under the turkish rule in middle ages, so they could get better treatment from muslim goverment while the rest of Serbs and Croats continiued to stand up against the turks......

not all... there are large number of bosnian serbs. This is true. I am a Bosnian serbo-Croatian. Meaning I was born in Bosnia but ethnicity is Serbo-Croat (mom = Serb, Dad = Craot). It was much simpler when we were all just called Yugoslavians before the war.

Wikipedia isn't the most reliable source in the world but some of its true.

Felix Sturm, lol? I guess since he's never won a big fight, I've never had a chance to hear him say PRAISE ALLAH! like Tyson and Rahman have. could be :D But there are many who are muslim but not thinking of God too much. comminting too many sin. I forgot about Kassim Ouma. Kassim is an arabic name which comes from the word Kasim which means Swear.

Felix Sturm, lol? I guess since he's never won a big fight, I've never had a chance to hear him say PRAISE ALLAH! like Tyson and Rahman have.

hmm I guess I should have known Hasim Rahman was muslim,but it never dawned on me...

not all... there are large number of bosnian serbs. I know that Kosovo is muslim. but damn those people have had a hard life from the Yugoslavs and the peace force. but anyway this is not my topic. What abouyt Olege Maskeave is he muslim?

I'm not surprised that Felix Strum is Muslim, he is after all from a partially Muslim country(Bosnia). He was likely born Muslim and not converted. Bosnia is muslim but Yugoslavi is not

Erik Afholter, the old USC wideout is muslim too. Does anyone know what Hart Lee Dykes was in too?

If thats the case, then everyone in my religion are posers because Islam has so many divides amongst itself, nobody could possibly follow all facets with so many divisions amongst denominations. The Koran and Hadiths are supposed to guide a Muslim in every facet of his life. To have faith in a denomination and not Allah and the Koran is to not be a true Muslim. Also, there is no mechanism for salvation in Islam other than being completely true to ALL of the Koran and Hadiths. There is always the possiblity that a person may have fucked up somewhere so a Muslim can never be sure. Unless he dies as a martyr. Either you live your life that, or you are not a true Muslim.

hey people dont go outt the thread topic. we are talking about which boxers are muslim and not the sexaulitiy of Chris Eubank. but as one in this thread said that cant take wikipedia as fact

Mike Tyson, what an idiot. How long did his "Muslim" charade carry on for before he got tired of it? I remember when he threatened to eat Lennox Lewis' children, as soon as he finished he went, "Praise be to allah" like nothing ever happened. :D

Fuck you, cracka :) Fistic virgin.
