Film star Liam Neeson is considering dumping up his Catholic belief to become a Muslim. The actor admitted Islamic prayer had "got into his spirit" while filming in Istanbul. He said, "The Call to Prayer happens five times a day and for the first week it drives you crazy, and then it just gets into your spirit and it's the most beautiful, beautiful thing."There are 4,000 mosques in the city. Some are just stunning and it really makes me think about becoming a Muslim."
Liam was raised in Northern Ireland as a devout Catholic but the star — whose wife Natasha Richardson died aged 45 in a skiing accident in 2009 — has spoken about his struggles with faith.
He said, "I was reared a Catholic but I think every day we ask ourselves, not consciously, what are we doing on this planet? What's it all about? I'm constantly reading books on God or the absence of God and atheism."
Neeson caused controversy in 2010 after claiming Narnia lion Aslan — voiced by him in the movies — is not based on Christ as CS Lewis had claimed but in fact all spiritual leaders including Mohammed.
