Its good to see more influential figures choosing Islam. May Allah guide Mr.Stone to the truly right path.
There are a lot of high profile Westerners to revert to Islam and get snubbed out. Remember that reporter who was captured by the Taleban before the war, and then she returned and declared her conversion. before that point they were keen on her, and wanted to find out about her experience, and then afterwards when they found out she was Muslim. They didn't want to know.
She's vocal campaigner for Palestinian rights, her name is Yvonne Ridley.
The thing is though, there are always going to be some sections of the population who unplug from the media propaganda. And see the world through their own personal experiences, who travel to Muslim countries to see it and experience it for themselves. Even if they don't become Muslim, they at least appreciate Islam, and realise that it's nothing at all to do with head cutting and public lashings.
But these people quickly get wiped out from the media.
There are plenty of people who will toe the party line, who will replace any dissenters. I was watching a YouTube video about how Hollywood replaces stars. The ones who are on the limelight today, get sent to the dustbin of history the next. This is done in order to control influence and power, so ultimately power over the media is confined to a select few.
They don't want any paticular celebrities to become too powerful in their own right, so they start making movies like Passion of Christ. So Hollywood stars have to always be watching their backs and make sure they are toeing the party line, otherwise their head ends up on the chopping block.
So I don't think high profile celebrities becoming Muslim will have little impact in the greater scheme of things.
The way I see it Muslims are being marginalised more and more, but I think it may be for our own benefit, the may be the thing we need in order to get unified.
