Somewhere, Muhammad is rolling in his grave

Sure, we like to think of ourselves as serious people who do serious things and even have an occasionally serious blog. But then there’s this:

The folks over at Merinews.com (whoever they are) tell us that Britney Spears is considering converting to Islam so she can persue a relationship with “paparazzi boss Adnan Ghalib.” How lucky for him.

From Merinews:


Spears, who has been married twice before, is believed to be obstinate on getting hitched with Ghalib, despite several warnings from her close friends and aides. She has been told that it would be an act of lunacy to marry this man. She says that she’s doing it and she doesn’t give a damn to what anyone thinks, an insider says.

I couldn’t say it any better than Bill Tammeus out at the Kansas City Star: “hasn’t that religion suffered enough?”

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
