paula Abdul

[javis69]

Is paula abdul MUSLIM????

[*ALFIE*]

Judging by her surname she definiately is, but personally I think she is from a mixed race

[andy-hughes]

Her dad is the basket ball legend, and actorLew Alcindor who became Karim Abdul Jabbar, when he converted to the Muslim faith.

He played the co-pilot in Airplane, hence the basketball togs he was wearing as well as his uniform jacket, and he also fought Bruce Lee in one of the kung fu films - he's 6' 8" so it wasn't a fair fight height-wise, but that's the movies for you. I don't think he can co-pilot a plane either, as it happens.

Sorry - your question - Paula is actually Jewish.

[texol]

andy- is that really true

[spaced]

no, andy's post is wrong - Paula is actually daughter of Harry Abdul (once a livestock trader in Brazil) and Lorainne Abdul.

Her dad is of Syrian jewish descent, her mum is canadian jewish
