Reply #10: There are Irish Muslims

[Lone_Star_Dem]

Islam is a religion and there are members of all nationalities. He may be one or he may be playing at being an Irish-American Muslim convert for all I know.

As to why he goes by a different name it was explained to me by a Muslim friend. If your name goes against Islam then you should change it to one which does not. I don't know if this is a standard belief, but I guess some do follow that dictate.
