O.J. Simpson is set to convert to Islam.

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.

I used to be in a prison ministry band in 2000. Even back then I was amazed how many black prisoners were converting to Islam. And it was always black men.

I was in the prison for 25 years, and I do not recall if I ever saw a white Muslim. There may have been some, I just do not remember seeing any. When I was in the USAF, I knew an E-6 who was a Muzzie from Pakistan. He told me he really did not consider American black Muslims, to be real Muslims, for whatever that is worth.

Converting implies that he was a believer in another religion. I don’t think he had many Christian principles and never heard of him being a Buddhist.

See last year's "OJ Simpson Planning to Become Televangelist" and "OJ Simpson wants to host a religious tv show after getting out" stories.

Maybe next year, he'll become a Buddhist.

When prisoners accept Christ in prison it is with a sense of repentance, sorrow for what they had done and a conviction to accept responsibility for their past actions and turn their lives around.

In my 25 years in the California prison system, I saw a few (very few) inmates truly repent and show the fruit of the spirit. The vast majority of inmates who were in the chapel program, were there to avoid most (not all) prison politics, like gang banging, drug trafficking, and other criminal activity, as the other inmates generally left them alone. I sat in on a few "Bible studies" and I was amazed at all the anti Biblical stuff coming out of their mouths. When they paroled, for the most part, they left the Bibles at the gate.
