Subject: Clear things up about Marat's Religion

Many people are asking about Marat's religion, but it really isn't that important. But I was reading an Interview from the ATP website, and it is pretty recent (July 2002) and he says:
Q. I read somewhere that your parents named you after the French revolution figure Jean-Paul Marat?

MARAT SAFIN: No, it's just a Muslim name. I think you know that I'm Muslim, you know, this religion. Yeah, that's why they call me because is Muslim name.

Q. Does the name mean something in Muslim?

MARAT SAFIN: Somebody told me, but I forget. I don't know. I don't know. Freedom. I don't know, something good for sure (laughter). Not French revolutionary. But I hope also because of him. Maybe because of him also. Maybe something it's a royalty (laughter).

As for the other interview where he states that he is Russian instead of Muslim, (which is odd, because one can be a russian and be muslim) was dated back in 1999, where his English was very poor.
I hope this clear things up.
