Not just Islam, but Shia Islam. And not just anywhere, but in Iran. And the Supreme Leader of Iran has called on Muslims to kill all Jews, so does this mean this kid has to kill his dad (apparently, Oliver is Jewish)?

If Islam is going mainstream in Hollywood can we expect soon for Nikki Mirage to show up at next year's Grammys in a full Hijab sans holes for breast cones accompanied by a turbaned Mohamed look-alike? I can just see the stage show now! Finally, a religion actually oppressing women and killing gays will be lampooned by the those in the high arts.

I guess Stone Jr. didn't read WFB's 1997 book "Nearer, My God." Then again, I bet WFB's son didn't read it either.

Would it have been preferable for young Stone to convert to another warped religion, like Roman Catholicism? Please....who gives a darn about this non-story?

"Would it have been preferable for young Stone to convert to another warped religion, like Roman Catholicism? "

Good point. Look at all those Fatwas the Catholic Popes have issued the last three centuries. And, all that time Catholics have wasted building missiles to be launched into Israel, suicide vests to be worn by martyrs and rioting to protest cartoons of the Savior.

Then, think about how many homosexuals have been decapitated or hanged in St. Peter's square. Hundreds, if not thousands, right?

Instead of all the money spent by the Church in order to sow hatred and violence across the world, think how many colleges and high schools, hospitals and orphanages they could have built instead.

Yes, Catholicism has achieved absolutely nothing more desirable than has Islam in the last 1300 years. Nothing at all.

Oops, a little hate dribbled out onto your chin there.

Isn't Oliver Stone half-Jewish? This should make for interesting dinner parties.

"Would it have been preferable for young Stone to convert to another warped religion, like Roman Catholicism? "

Actually, according to his Wiki, he converted from Catholicism...to Buddhism. He sure doesn't act like a Buddhist.

Hope he's aware of Islam's return policy.
