His wife is a muslim, but the player himself has said he is not a muslim. In this interview (http://www.dutch-football.com/football/articles/robin_van_persie_holland_netherlands_euro_2008.shtml) he says the following: .....Van Persie doesn't need religion for that. "I believe in myself. When you are a good bloke that will bring positivity to the society. A better world starts at home, they say. No?" His wife is a Muslim. And on certain websites it reads that Van Persie has also converted to Islam. So what's the story? "It's not true. I am not a Muslim, nor a Christian or a Jew. I have been raised liberally. If you want to become a Muslim it should come from the heart. I would not do it just to please my wife. To believe for me is a quest for being a good man."
