by (Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The world-famous British comedian Rowan Atkinson, who is the creator of an amazing figure of Mr. Bean, have converted to Islam.
On Tuesday, October, 1 the leader of the ruling party in Tunisia "Al-Nahda" ("Revival") Rachid Ghannouchi congratulated with this event the English actor. The head wished a new Muslim "resistance in this thorny path". It is worth mentioning that Mr. Atkinson and the party leader has long-standing relationships: men often communicated during Ghannouchi's stay in London's exile.
For example, the article in "Wikipedia" names the date of Mr Bean's conversion to Islam the 1st October 2013. At the same time, Rowan Atkinson says that the interest of the Muslim religion awoke after the appearance of the Internet blasphemous film about the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The biased author's position forced the British comedian to look for more reliable information. Earlier R. Atkinson was critical about the concept of Islamophobia.

My Batsh*t Crazy Claim Of The Day: Rowan Atkinson Converted To Islam post has quickly become perhaps the most “popular” Israellycool post ever. Traffic has gone through the roof. Tens of Muslims have ‘liked’ our Facebook page. And despite the title and content of the post – in which I clearly point out why the claim is ridiculous – thousands of Muslims around the world have shared, retweeted and linked to the post, as evidence that Rowan Atkinson has converted to Islam! (here is one example)...
Update: Holy fact-checking fail Batman! We are currently being used as proof of his conversion on Wikipedia!
Update: We reached out to Rowan Atkinson’s agent so she could end the ridiculous speculation once and for all.

You wouldn't think that a religion of 2 billion would need such cheap reinforcement but this is one of many similar conversion stories about celebs or even plebs.
But much of Islam is about cheap reinforcement, so I guess it is sort of engrained.
I don't think so.
