" Many think his name sounds Muslim, but he was actually named for a Peruvian revolutionary who led an uprising against Spain."
Thats not correct.
First of all: Thupaq Amaru was the last peruan Inca King of Vilcabamba, who got prisoned and murdered by radical-christian, spanish invaders in 1572.
Later indigenous rebels named themselves after Tupac Amaru, like Tupac Katari (Bolivia 1750-1781) and Tupac Amaru II (Peru 1742 - 1781), who stood up for the right of the indigenous people against the christian opressors.
The people who think 2Pac's name sounds muslim, are considering his lastname SHAKUR, which is definetly an islamic word meaning "Thankful to God".
Afeni Shakur gave his son "Lesane Parish Crooks" the surname of his stepfather "Dr. Mutulu Shakur", who is a muslim and was one of the founders of "Islamic Young Mens Movements".
I beleive that 2Pac was a religious man and influenced by christainity. But that doesnt mean, that he would have stayed that way.
We witnessed in the recent past, that many famous rappers converted to Islam like Busta Rhymes, Loon, Napolean, Q-Tip, Ghostface Killa or Raekwon.
Im more than sure, that 2Pac would have converted to Islam too, at latest after the flase-flag terrorattacks on 11.09.2001, which were misused to defile islams reputation.
Its a known fact, that most of the slaves, who were deported to america were mostly muslims and got converted to Christianity under massive force. Thats why people like Muhammad Ali or Malcolm X refused to go on with that imposed slave religion.
2Pac critisized the goverments at any time and im sure he would have done that too, after 11.09.2001.
