Is that meant to be a picture of him? Lol

On the one hand I despise people who spread false rumours, on the other hand I have to marvel at the big hearted Pakistanis always blindly willing to accept black, white and yellow as their brothers in faith.

Although having said that, looking at those two standing behind Johnny, they look quite scary, might be Bairstow is telling them what they want to hear just to get out of there alive.

Yes shortly after losing his wicket in Sydney

 

[DRsohail]

yes we always believe in rumors rather than confirming it first.

 

[carbon11]

Lol

 

[big_gamer007]

Even if he did who cares? It’s his life he can chose whatever he wants don’t know why others take pride in someone else’s belief.

I feel that’s more about them trying to prove that Islam is the right religion, becuase look even that random white man is converting to our religion.

I’m muslim myself so I’m not trying to say the religion isn’t real in any way.

I think it was propagated as a troll. Most people werent being serious. Just having fun. Obviously not a right thing to do.

That's made my day, priceless picture.

Dunno, looks like most are pretty convinced.

 

[troodon]

Congrats to Bairstow.

Also good to see Imad Wasim and Hafeez in the background being part of the memorable occasion.

Amazing - people are such fools.

Wow...look at all those people showering blessings on Bairstow. No wonder India is putting fences up, the rise of Islam looks unstoppable with such blatant and unquestioning faith.

Didn't Michael Jackson convert to Islam a few short years before his death? What were people's reactions to that one? He was a bit of a loon.

 

[Abdullah719]

Amazing - people are such fools.

To be fair, I blame the uploader more here.

The people who are commenting aren't necessarily too familiar with Bairstow so they're just going by the title. Naive of them...

However, the uploader, with 260k+ subscribers has deliberately put up this video with a clickbait title and is fooling people, and is simultaneously making money off it!

 

[Pakistanian]

Lol this cracks me up

 

[Varun]

Funnily enough no word from Bairstow on this so far.

 

[English August]

Funnily enough no word from Bairstow on this so far.

He's busy headbutting the Aussies.

People use these sort of stories to champion their religion. So they can say things like ‘see even Micheal Jackson is a muslim.’

Neil Armstrong also apparently heard the Azaan when he went to the moon so he converted to Islam.

You don’t need famous people to justify your faith, I think your own belief should be enough.

 

[sshakir411]

There were recent rumors that George W Bush's daughter also accepted Islam..basically it was based of a video where a white girl is wearing a hijab and saying the shahada...only issue was she wasn't George Bush's daughter.

We've had the issue of fake news for years..Every time there is an Israeli-Palestinian standoff, Muslim web pages are flooded with pictures from previous wars between the two. The recent conflict in Syria was fueled with fake videos and images...the examples of fake news and people believing it are endless in the Muslim world.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

What a start to 2018

Another one on board


Get the ladoos in!

I admire this in the Muslims.

 

[Suleiman]

lmao ) The comments make it even better.



Johnny Bairstow, you mean Jamal Baklawa right?

 

[PakLFC]

I wish we would get over our obsession will converts to Islam. Many go the other way as well.

 

[Dead Ball]

It may be fake news, but it will never be 'Messi/Ronaldo have converted to Islam' level fake news.

 

[blue_champion]

Looking at the picture...rumor about wwe wrestler undertaker accepting Islam would have made more sense.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Saw this yesterday on PP’s FB page.Thought it was some sort of joke.)

Our people really are hilarious.

This.Couldn’t agree more.

Some of the other pages were using it in a sarcastic funny way.

Obviously the reactions would be different depending upon one's awareness.

) The gangsta beat and the "Allah" written on Ronaldo's hair lmao, brilliant.

And the Pakistani delegation to the UN also taps into these pictures as and when they feel convenient.

I mean, if it was on the internet...it must be true.

In seriousness though, Syria has suffered most because of fake news. All it takes today is a fat check to push your world view to the masses, no matter how moronic it is.
