The fake story behind Rowan Atkinson conversion to Islam

10 years ago | Posted in: World | 50465 Views

We are bringing you information about the prank that was made by the Israellycool website about Rowan Atkinson`s conversion to Islam. This is what they have to say about that: 

Atkinson’s agent denying he converted to Islam.

“My Batsh*t Crazy Claim Of The Day: Rowan Atkinson Converted To Islam” post has quickly become perhaps the most “popular” Israellycool post ever. Traffic has gone through the roof. Tens of Muslims have ‘liked’ our Facebook page. And despite the title and content of the post – in which I clearly point out why the claim is ridiculous – thousands of Muslims around the world have shared, retweeted and linked to the post, as evidence that Rowan Atkinson has converted to Islam! (here is one example)

I guess they will believe what they want to believe.

Meanwhile, no word from Atkinson himself because – as I have made clear – the claim is almost certainly false.

The question is, why did the anti-Israel site start the rumor?

I think I missed this due to the poor auto-translation, but this next video seems to make it clearer: there seems to have be a photo of Atkinson holding his finger up, which is apparently something called the shahada finger. It just looks to me like Atkinson telling someone off, or any number of other things.

So Muslim readers, feel free to believe what you want and even spread our blog post to all and sundry. But know we do not believe for a second Rowan Atkinson has converted to Islam.

Having said that, I am glad you have all come to Israellycool. Please feel welcome to have a look around, and engage in some dialogue. Perhaps we can bring some world peace, together!

    When you European colonists leave the Palestinian lands we can have indeed a dialogue and bring peace to the world. Salaam

    • Phil says:

      the muslims make it up as they go along, and the tragedy is that they come to believe their own lies.

        Yo,Phil. Do me wee fav my man. Read the Qur’aan once. You’ll find an English copy of it. Just once. Maybe not now,but hey,some time soon.

      What “european colonists” are there in Palestina? Go and read your Quran – there is no peace, there are hate, violence, vengeance and killing only.

  • Ghada says:

    just because you’re afraid of islam doesn’t mean that you have the right to say that muslims are ridiculus.
    and you may not see it but islam has start to spread all over the world and your bullshit won’t change anything 🙂

    • trueMuslim says:

      oh really? i think not. they recruit Muslims because they are hard working and intelligent. dont u see (or u hav no eyes) on wt basis america is killing innocent children,women and aged people by drones in Muslim countries?? is it not a terrorism (or u hav no mind to think)? let ur children or family be killed by drone then see…

    • seapearl says:

      The ‘ridiculous’ refers to he claim, not islam. Why are you moslems so defensive? Nobody is scared of islam. All religions teach good things and be kind to others I believe, so I think you should reflect that. If you say that islam has spread over the world then it should bring peace, not hatred as you indicate in your writing.

  • girlswhowasbornbyhermother says:

    I like how you write this article 🙂 Lets bring peace together . Maybe we do have different religions but our religion always thought us about being kind to others 🙂

  • Person says:

  • azhar says:
