Troubled rocker Pete Doherty has reportedly turned to Islam after being imprisoned in London's Wormwood Scrubs jail.
Doherty asked for a translation of the Quran and is now 'lapping it up', reports thesun.co.uk.
One of Doherty's friends said: 'He's been reading the Quran since he went into segregation. He's got a lot of Muslim friends and they've been on at him for ages to study it. Now he's on his own and he's got time on his hands to study it.
'I'm surprised how much it has calmed him down as he was very on the edge inside. He definitely seems more chilled. He's lapping it up and really interested in it. I think it's helping him in there.'
Doherty has been having a difficult time since his 14-week sentence began for violating probation by taking drugs.
If Allah(SWT) wills, Pete Doherty will realise the high one can get from listening to his creator is better and hell of a lot cheaper then his substance abusing ways.
My God I'd hate to be the slow poke but I had no idea who that fellow is?
I hope he mends his ways..
I dont think he's read up to the No-Booze and No -drugs surahs yet Skye.
He's a popular UK comedy character, more known for his crime and vice than singing.

The amazing thing is that you don't have to subscribe to any religion to understand the universal guidelines...
It really pains me having been a rambunctious teenager myself how many just get lost in this world of drugs/booze and all sorts of experimentation... it is one thing to go through a definat phase and another thing to make that your modus vivendi... I marvel at some of my childhood friends who seem suspended at 15.. but what further pains me, is seeing a 25 year old on the autopsy table.. I think some folks just fancy that they are invincible? go on abusing their body every which way...
I don't wish to sound preachy.. but I don't know how else to be when I see microtome blades
chiseling at some kid's skull, and then pliers grabbing whatever is left of his dura after his brains are evacuated... It is emotionally scarring and I mean that no matter what livlihood puts bread on your table.. I hope he mends his ways, whether a popular role model or not... this is just not a positive way to live..
cheers

Aye, i work with drug users and see enough lives mucked up by em.
Docherty has been trying to kick em for years, I hope he does and hopefully he is sincere in his quest for religion.
No doubt religion can be a +sitive force when taken sensitively.
