Michael Jackson could soon convert to Islam, according to his brother Jermaine.
Michael Jackson is thought to be in Bahrain at the moment
The fallen pop star, who was acquitted of child abuse charges two years ago, has been reading Islamic books and developed an interest in the faith, his brother claims.
Jermaine, 52, became a Muslim in 1989 and said he thought it "most probable" that Michael, 48, would follow him.
"When I came back from Mecca I got him a lot of books and he asked me lots of things about my religion and I told him that it's peaceful and beautiful," he told The Muslim News, a monthly British Muslim newspaper.
"He read everything and he was proud of me that I found something that would give me inner strength and peace.
"I think it is most probable that Michael will convert to Islam."
He added: "He could do so much, just like I am trying to do. Michael and I and the word of God, we could do so much."
Michael has withdrawn from the public eye since a California jury cleared him of 10 counts of child abuse against 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo two years ago, after a lurid 16-week trial.
He is believed to be staying in Bahrain as a guest of the royal family.
Jermaine, who came second in this year's controversial series of Celebrity Big Brother, shared the vocals with his more famous brother when they were in The Jackson 5.

Now that he's a Muslim, I'll bet he moves to Kandahar, Afghanistan to practice his particular lifestyle.
Kandahar is where the birds fly over the city with one wig covering their posteriors.

Maybe the Muslims can deal with him, since the courts and the mental health system can't. The muslims have the tendency to chop off certain parts of your anatomy which are used in the commission of sins. Mr. Fancy Glove may soon have a new and better reason for grabbing himself when he "performs" in public.

Including the kidnappings, beheadings, female castration, beating wives and children, and honor killings?Guess in MJ's perspective, it's done peacefully and beautifully. Sick.
You forgot the genocides, too.

PERFECT cult for him. Islam is the dream of all freaks, sadists, pedophiles,homicidal maniacs, women-haters, and people who can't deal with reality-much less modern civilization.
May the camels enjoy him often, and may he be fitted for a bomb-belt soon;although-techically- that should be a burkha, because he's been a white
( mutilated) woman for some time now.

When I think about Jackson and Islam being a good fit, I'm reminded of that gay Irish sitcom; Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick.
(Just kidding to all my Irish FRiends. I'm part Irish too but I have to admit I laughed at that joke when I heard it) :)

Let the koranimals deal with MJ.
No loss to the civilized world if an ugly white woman converts to mohammedanism.
