Lindsay Lohan Talks about Islam on TV Show

KUWAIT โ€“ Weeks after deleting her Instagram posts and photos, Lindsay Lohan appeared on a Kuwaiti talk show, giving an awaited talk about her thoughts on Islam.

โ€œI also listen to the Quran on my phone, I have an app,โ€ the Hollywood actress told Kuwaiti talk show, Swar Shoaib, Anadolu Agency reported on Tuesday, February 7.

During the program, the 30-year-old actress described the criticism she had received after a photo of her holding the Quran in New York City in 2015 went viral.

โ€œMy intention wasnโ€™t to hold a religious book. I was just holding a religious book, but people in America didnโ€™t like it, they judged me for it and were saying nasty things. [The Quran was] a solace and a safe thing for me to have,โ€ said Lohan.

Lohan also said that she has read 15 pages of the Qur`an in English, describing her feelings saying: โ€œI feel calmness.โ€

Currently, she practices writing some verses in Arabic.

Lohan also noted that she had started praying the Islamic way and fasted for three days during Ramadan.

โ€œI did Ramadan for three days with my friend from Kuwait, it was hard but it was good. It felt good,โ€ she said.

Last month, the actress deleted all the photos on her official Instagram page, leaving only a bio which read โ€œAlaikum Salam,โ€ which made many fans speculate that Lohan has become Muslim.

Many fans welcomed Lohanโ€™s claimed conversion to Islam, which came a year after she was first pictured while holding a Qurโ€™an.

โ€œIโ€™m so happy that lindsay lohan found Islam. may Allah guide her and bless her,โ€ wrote one young woman on Twitter.

Another posted on her account: โ€˜I heard that Lindsay Lohan converted to Islam? If itโ€™s true, alhamdulillah. God has shown her the right path to now follow.โ€™

In January, Lohan deleted all of her photos on Instagram leaving only the note, โ€œAlaikum salamโ€ but she neither confirmed nor denied a change in religion during the interview.
