MICHAEL Jackson has converted to Islam and changed his name to Mikaeel, according to reports.

The singer wore traditional Islamic dress as he pledged his allegiance to the Koran at a friend's home in Los Angeles, The Sun reports.

Jackson, who was raised a Jehovah's Witness, reportedly decided to convert after discussing religion with a music producer and songwriter on his new album - both of whom were converts to Islam.

The Sun reported singer Yousef Islam - formerly knowns as Cat Stevens - turned up to help Jackson celebrate.

Almost as funny as this headline:

Camilla admits to 'letting herself go' since she married Charles.. and vows to take up tai chi as a New Year's resolution

What he really converted to was theat Middle East Cultural thing where pedophialia is "ok."

According to asktheImam.com

Of course Islam doesn’t punish having sex with young boys, so it’s a natural..

I’m glad he finally found a spiritual home where he can be comfortable in his pedophilia.

Is anyone really surprised?

After Madonna took up Kaballah study for a while, no celebrity interest or conversion surprised me.

No. It's the “religion of color”.

Or at least before Jacko turned white, he was black.

Maybe he is also attracted to it because Mohammad liked little boys? That might help justify Wacko's attraction to little boys and make it “holy”?

Wy would anyone care what that queer pervert does?

Rabbi Shmuley can’t be too happy about this.

Great minds think alike. Yours just works 10 seconds faster ;-)

I thought he did this a few years ago, right before that trial. He converted because he needed the protection in the joint, just in case he got convicted.

Knock it off with the cutesy keyword abuse.

I thought Muslims killed homos. Do they also kill kiddie homos? If so, why are they accepting him?
Are some Muslims pro-homo and others "cut the homos head off" Muslims?

Now I'm really confused.
