Snoop Dog surprised pretty much everyone by revealing that he has joined the Nation Of Islam and hinted that he may have been a convert for some time.
The rapper made the announcement during the religion's Saviour's Day event in Chicago saying: "I'm an advocate for peace. I've been in the peace movement ever since I've been making music," he told followers. "My whole thing is not about really trying to push my thing on you. It's just about the way I live, and I live how I'm supposed to live as far as doing what's right and representing what's right. That's why I was here today."
It does seem however that some principles associated with the religion may conflict with Snoop's lifestyle, for instance:
Allah Ta'ala states in the Holy Qur'an:
O You who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones and (divination by) arrows are an abomination of Satan's handiwork. Avoid (such abominations) that you may prosper. (5:90)
I wonder how closely Snoop reads the Qur'an...
