No Stone Unturned

American actor and documentary filmmaker Sean Stone, son of Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone, converted to Islam during a religious ceremony in Iran. Stone became a Shia Muslim and chose to be known by the Muslim first name Ali as announced at the ceremony held in the Iranian historical city of Isfahan on February 14. "The conversion to Islam is not abandoning Christianity or Judaism, which I was born with,” Stone said. “It means I have accepted Mohammad (PBUH) and other prophets," he added in a brief telephone call. Born to a Jewish father and Christian mother, Stone did not say why he converted to Islam. Stone who visited Iran several months ago said he needed to know more about Persian culture and civilization and become familiar with Iranian traditions and rituals. Stone referred to Iran as one of Asia's major filmmaking centers saying that he “would like to introduce Persian culture and civilization to the West.” The 27-year-old filmmaker is a graduate of history from Princeton University and has collaborated on many of his father's projects such as the 2004 Alexander. He has also directed a handful of documentaries.

Actors and their offspring are often fucked in the head - and, unfortunately, tabloid journalists find crap like this worth reporting. Why would anyone with a brain possibly care what some 27 year old parasite sucking off of daddy's "achievements" says or does?

This is news?

I'm guessing it's some kind of ploy to gain himself access, a la Sir Richard Burton.

So, if your father was well-known in a particular field, and you chose the same field, you would never use any of his contacts to help you?

very good

Surely the appropriate response is "What a prize c**t"?

always thought Persian culture predated the rise of Islam

**WiserWizard** · 16-02-2012, 03:37 PM

It did, I'm sure.

Islam only came on the scene late, after the Middle East was quite a flourishing place (Mind you, they already had the whole veil-rubbish even then)

I prefer to call them "Arabs", it really gets on their tits.

**DrAndy** · 16-02-2012, 04:30 PM

you can call them what you like, most Americans do

but they are not Arabs, they are Persians

The Persian people[29] are part of the Iranian peoples [30] who speak the modern Persian language [31] and closely akin Iranian dialects and languages.[32][33] The origin of the ethnic Iranian/Persian peoples are traced to the Ancient Iranian peoples, who were part of the ancient Indo-Iranians and themselves part of the greater Indo-European linguistic family.

Must not be too observant, Davis.
Popular culture, and it's fetid associations, are what we are all about.

It's most important. Forced fed and socially engineered.
Public figures, TV and film stars, professional athletes, politicians, those whom are famous for just being famous....this is what drives us. These circles have far reaching influence and importance on civilisation.

Thanks for clearing that up, I must have missed the memo.
