David Berkowitz aka Son Of Sam aka The .44 Killer is now a christian.
Here's his homepage that's run by a church because he can't access the PC in the joint.

I heard. This is years and years old. No real Jew would go on a rampage like this ever.
-
lol come on people there are always exceptions.
-
It's most likely fake. Jeffery Dahmer (who is not Jewish) tried to do the same thing.
-
He's a scumbag regardless of religion.
-
He should of been executed years ago after what all the murders he commited

One thing I can say about David Berkowitz- When people ask him "Do you deserve parole?" He replies: "No murderer like me deserves parole, ever." He was a Serial MURDERER. This man was a TERRORIST. A TERRIBLE TERRORIST. If he can see that now, then fine. It would be great it he would come out and stand against islam b/c islam is the popular 'religion' in prisons. I find it quite SILLY and SICK, to be honest when I see ANY prisoner ALLOWED to write books. This man literally scared the whole NY State, it is really HARD for me to just say: "Wow this is SUCH good news" This man terrorized my little life when I was 12/13 years old. >:(

What do you mean no real jew will ever do a thing like that ?

Pardon my cynicism, but "getting born again" once in prison, is one of the oldest tricks in the book.
The fact that his last name is Berkowitz adds even more "saved" factor for those wishing to exploit him for their own agendas.
No offense to our Christian followers, but counting the insane serial killer "The Son of Sam" as "born again" isn't exactly "a credit to the Faith".
Truth to tell, he should simply be executed to rid the world of one monster.
He is beyond redemption and criminally insane.
Society should not warehouse monsters at taxpayer expense.
If the EU doesn't like the death penalty, then they should take him from us...we won't even charge them a "transfer fee".

I was told that Berkowitz mother is *not* Jewish.

I could care less if the "Son of Sam" was a Hindu or Scientologist.
He's a monster and anyone who would allow him a website or take an interest in him is as crazy as he is.

I agree! So many of these scumbags play the "Born Again" card!

I believe that Berkawitz was adopted so they don't know what nationality he was..

I'm gonna voice an extremely unpopular view here. I do not know if the Son of Sam was really Jewish or not, so I will stay out of that question. However--can somebody demonstrate to me why someone who is REALLY repentant can never be forgiven? I don't deny that the vast majority of Death Row conversions are phony, or claim that they should be pardoned if they repent (the way Mike Huckabee believes), but really--how can you all know for a fact that Dahmer, or for that matter Berkowitz, did not make a genuine change of heart?
I agree--keep them locked up or execute them, regardless of contrition, but if any of you can claim to know what is in their hearts, please share with me your secrets of achieving omniscience!

Berkowitz is either a changed man, or a typical psychopath.
Either he's sincere or he's strategizing. Either way, he's not worth worrying about.
Why did Newman bring this up in the first place?
-
The son of sam was clearly of Jewish ancestry. Whether he was a believer is another question.

Exactly. We don't know what he is. I think that as long as he is not using this conversion as a ploy for clemency, we ought to give him the benefit of the doubt. As for Dahmer, there were pretty consistent reports of his regeneration in prison. Why should I rule out that he was forgiven and that I will see him in heaven someday?
G-d forgave King David for adultery and premeditated murder; why can he not forgive other murderers who repent sincerely as well?

It is irrelevant. Hitler was of Catholic ancestry but practiced Odinism, etc.
-
He's a psychopath. Most serial killers are successful because of their ability to act normal. It's all an act. They kill because they are capable of doing this act.
-
It is relevant from the standpoint of ethnicity. And it is relevant from the standpoint that having a Jewish mom will make Orthodox Jews consider you Jewish, even if you don't consider yourself Jewish.
There is no such thing as "catholic" ancestry. There is german ancestry. There isn't "Christain" ancestry.

Well lots of people "told" me things, so who "told" you that his mother wasn't Jewish?
There are people that are bad regardless of race or religion.

How demented!

Because this did NOT take place in Israel and The Temple has NOT been rebuilt THATS why!
Hashem may have forgiven him but it is up to secular law to decide what to do with him!
Perkei Avos teaches that we are NOT supposed to do anything to undermine the civilization we live in while in diaspora!!!
He broke the law in a country where we are GUESTS!!
Even Torah recognizes that secular law overrides Torah while in exile!!
