NEW YORK: American actress Lindsay Lohan is now believed to have officially converted to Islam, as a message of her on Instagram suggests so.

Lohan has scrubbed clean two of her social media accounts and posted the message “Alaikum salam” on Instagram.

Lohan is no stranger to controversy – the star of The Parent Trap (1998) and Mean Girls (2004) has been in the news in recent years more for her legal problems and visits to rehab clinics.

In 2015, Lohan had faced a backlash in the US after she was photographed with a Quran in her hands on the streets of New York.

Over the past few days, the 30-year-old wiped out all posts on her Twitter and Instagram accounts, which have a combined total of near 15 million followers.

On Instagram, her bio only bears the words “Alaikum salam”, which is the response to the traditional Arabic greeting of “As-salam alaikum” (Peace be unto you).

The post on Instagram led to a flurry of tweets from Muslims around the world, offering congratulations to Lohan even though there was no official word on whether she had converted to Islam. – Samaa
