12 Celebrities Who Practice Islam


5. Dr. Oz

Television personality Dr. Mehmet Oz practices Islam, but he admits that he has struggled with his Muslim identity throughout the years. The Turkish-American surgeon and author was raised by a father who came from Turkey’s “Quran Belt” and a mother who was a secular Turk. In an interview he stated, “As a Turk, growing up in America with one parent from one side of the religious wall and one parent from the other side, and of course America clearly supporting the secular background, I found myself tugged more and more towards the spiritual side of the religion, rather than the legal side of the religion.”
