No mention of Boko Haram on his page......

He claims Islam rejects the bad parts of ALL cultures, yet the Hadiths are literally just Arab cultural practices which are to be taken as LAW. There is a reason in Islam why people are forced to take on Arabized names. It is Arab supremacy, which makes sense as its their religion.

As bishop said he did change his name and its not new.

When a non practicer converts(or reverts as muslims believe everyone is born muslim) you must take an arab name in traditional practice. Your name is considered holy and part of your deen(islamic character) just as much as praying 5x a day is. It is also why, when women marry, they are not allowed to take the name of their husband and legal adoption is heavily frowned upon. It muddles the name, which is everything in ancient arabic, and islam, culture.

Is this written in the Qur'an somewhere that a convert must change his name to Islamic one?

I didn't know Islam does not allow legal adoption also. Wow!
