The former American footballer and movie star has been imprisoned in Nevada since 2008 on charges of kidnapping and armed robbery in relation to an armed robbery that took place at the Palace Station hotel-and-casino in Las Vegas in which sports memorabilia was taken.
After seeing his appeal for a re-trial quashed last and being informed in July 2013 he will serve at least another four years, Simpson has embraced the religion in a bid to change his life.
A source told National Enquirer magazine: "O.J. really thought that he was going to be successful in a bid for a new trial and eventually be released from prison.
"But now he's not eligible for parole until late 2017, which has angered him."
The disgraced 67-year-old star has become interested in the religion through his friendship with former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, who was imprisoned in the early 1990s and is a devout Muslim.
Simpson has been studying the Koran but failed to successfully fast during the holy month of Ramadan.
An inside said: "O.J. didn't quite make it through the entire fasting process.
"He cheated during the day, and bought snacks from the prison canteen. But he's really serious about converting to Islam. O.J. even made himself a prayer rug for his prison cell. He really likes the idea that upon converting to Islam, all of his previous sins are forgiven. O.J. has a lot to be forgiven for."
He’s already mastered the beheading part!
He’s ready for the front lines without any training...
No more bacon and ham sammiches for O.J.
And the killing Jews part too!
Near beheadings and be-earings. They make a cute couple.

You are expounding a great heresy that faith in Christ necessarily implies forgiveness of sins and passage to Heaven. It doesn't.
Used to be a song about him “Turn on The Juice...cut him loose”.
sadly no executioner will be doing just that w/ electric chair

“But...I flew to Chicago for a Hertz golf tournament that night...”
Wiki:
>>Simpson was not seen again until 10:54 p.m., an hour and 18 minutes later, when he came out of the front door of his house to a waiting limousine hired to take him to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to fly to a Hertz convention in Chicago. Both the defense and prosecution agreed that the murders took place between 10:15 and 10:40 p.m., with the prosecution saying that Simpson drove his white Bronco the five minutes to and from the murder scene. They presented a witness in the area of Bundy Drive who saw a car similar to Simpson’s Bronco speeding away from the area at 10:35 p.m

Based on the New Testament it does.
He must be having trouble sleeping. He’s counting on all his sins being wiped clean,
Good luck with that one AH
Hang on! I thought there were some sins that were so grievous that they warranted beheading.
I guess this guy never finished the New Testament.
Or is he concerned about whether or not “we” forgive him? Methinks the Goldman family is at the front of that line.
I should have been more specific.In the Religion of Pieces there seem to be some sins,particularly when committed by infidels (which OJ was at the time),that warrant beheading.
He’s going to try to get the civil judgment set aside on First Amendment grounds, isn’t he?
For by grace you have been saved through faith and not that of yourselves; it is a gift of God, not as a result of works, lest anyone should boast.
For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Sounds pretty clear to me.
We should give both of them to ISIS as a gift.
I can’t even comment now. To disrespectful with the news of second beheading of another journalist. Freepers are smart, You know where I was going.
