There is no direct textual support from the Bard about Othello's religion, but a textual critic of Othello can give support to Othello's seeming Catholic faith and/or conversion from Islam. Others spoke well of Othello with no insult or invective about his religion, and Othello himself said nothing to show he was Islam or Catholic. Historical insights by former scholars bring up good contextual support, but nothing gives definitive evidence for any faith of Othello. Despite the historical interpretations, no straight Islamic interpretation has been done about Othello. But, support can be found through a detailed reading of Othello. This paper will show such support for Othello's faith, done with a more detailed Islamic outlook in connection with Othello.
