Roberto Carlos Responds for the First Time to Reports of His Conversion to Islam
- Brazilian football legend Roberto Carlos has been reported to have converted to Islam after meeting Sheikh Jihad Hammadeh, but he has not publicly confirmed this claim.
- Turkish lawmaker Ali Sahin stated he was informed that Carlos recited the Shahada during a visit to São Paulo, and publicly congratulated him on the conversion, though this has not been verified.
- Roberto Carlos denied the reports in comments to Saudi newspaper Okaz, saying he respects Islam and his wife's faith but has not converted, explaining that his wedding ceremonies included different traditions to honor both families' religions.
- The speculation began after photographs from Carlos's wedding to Moroccan businesswoman Souhaila El Tahiri showed Islamic elements, but no reliable evidence confirms his conversion, and some images circulated were artificially generated.
