Oliver Stone's son converts to Islam in Iran

Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone's son Sean has converted to Islam in Iran. Stone, whose new Muslim name is Ali, is making a documentary in the Islamic Republic.
"The conversion to Islam is not abandoning Christianity or Judaism, which I was born with," he told AFP.

"It means I have accepted Mohammad and other prophets," he said in while in the central Iranian city of Isfahan, where he underwent the ceremony.

Sean Stone's famous father is Jewish, while his mother is Christian.

The 27-year-old filmmaker did not say why he converted.

According to Iran's Fars news agency, Sean Stone had become a Shiite.
The younger Stone has acted in minor roles in several of his father's films, and has directed a handful of documentaries.

I dunno, kid, they're kinda touchy about that. Might wanna read the manual again.
