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."
Buckwheat turned muslim now he is Kareem o Wheat
Hey,O.J., are you going to eat that ham and cheese sandwich?
Cut your losses O.J. and come down off your cross.
We need the wood to start a fire...
“Mike Tyson as the spiritual leader”
you didn’t catch the part where it said he was “devout”?
Well, Islam is the religion for violent and stupid males.
A man who beheaded his wife converts? I’m shocked.
A drowning man will grab even the edge of a sword.
Joining a religion that condones treating woman like chattel seems to be a fit for OJ. Also, I am sure the version practiced in US prisons is close to Nation of Islam in it’s hatred of the Caucasian race.
Its the perfect religion for OJ..OJ likes cutting off people’s heads, so do Muslims..ISIS wishes they had someone of OJ’s beheading ability join them
Seems like a good fit. An ignorant violent self-pitying piece of reptile-brain $h!t joins a violent death cult.
Now he can claim to be a victim twice over.
He didn’t completely behead Nicole and Ron, otherwise he could have tested out of the basic courses.
Well, he wouldn’t have much hope in Christianity unless he was able to confess, repent, and cling to the Savior henceforth. So I guess Islam is one way to get religion without reality.
I hope he croaks on the day he’s supposed to be released. This murderer shouldn’t never see the sunset again.
They can keep him. Stupid is as stupid does.
re: “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.”
I would be curious what OJ identifies as sins since he denies any wrongdoing in the murders he committed.
Islam converts have been happening in the nation’s prisons for decades. Probably the largest recruiting outlets in the country.
He will become Khalid al Hussein bin Souderi and them lay claim to the caliph and the Saudi throne.
The double lineage will bridge the Sunni/Shia gap and bring peace to Islam
