Needing at least two male witnesses to convict a man of rape, Tyson must be in heaven…
FORMER boxing champion Mike Tyson, who converted to Islam while in jail in the 1990s, is visiting the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina on pilgrimage.
Tyson, who was world heavyweight champion from 1986 to 1990, arrived on Friday in Medina with the Canadian Dawa Association for the umrah, or minor pilgrimage, the newspaper Okaz said.
From Medina he will travel on to Mecca and plans to visit other Saudi cities, it reported.
Tyson, 44, converted to Islam while serving a 10-year prison sentence, later commuted to three years, for raping a US beauty queen in 1991.
KEEP him!!
Tyson is just a couple of levels off from OJ, the butcher.
tyson has finally found a place where his mindless violence and view of women as meat to be brutalized will be accepted.
Good for him, now if he’ll just stay amongst his peers.
I am in Las Vegas btw :)
Wise people, I’d have made the same call.
No real news here, just another stupid black convict converting to Islam.
Didn’t what’s his name the so called leader rape children? he had a 7 year old wife. not mentioning any names.
Mohammed didn’t actually have sex with her until she was nine (just ‘thighing’ her before then) so he’s like a model of abstinence for the whole of Islam.
There is no more f****d up religion on the planet.
I dislike Tyson, but I followed his rape trial and from the publicly available evidence it looked like a set-up by a gold-digger. He may be a contemptible human being, but there is a good chance that he was wrongfully convicted.
Looks like he has found people he likes to be around.
I remember an interview a long time ago, where he spoke about money and God and bad mouthed God big time and praised money. I can not locate a video of this, can anyone point me to it?
Looks like he's found his niche in being sponsored as a front-man and propaganda spokesman by religion-of-pieces organizations.....plus hustling the big spenders in Sin City in some OJ-ish way.
Probably sells his autograph to adoring little black kids, also.
