A source close to the Jacksons has exclusively revealed to X17 Online that family will likely have a traditional Muslim burial for late Michael Jackson. "The family is considering following the Muslim burial traditions because they believe Michael would have wanted to be laid to rest in keeping with his new-found religious beliefs," says the source.

"Michael's brother Jermaine is educating the family as to the special rites because he feels it's important to bury his brother according to the Muslim way," adds the source. Despite earlier reports that both public and private memorial services for the late music performer have been set to be held this week, there has been no official confirmation just yet from Michael's family on the location where his body will be laid to rest.

It’s already too late. He should have been buried wihin 24 hrs.

[JRandomFreeper]

Ummm. That would have required him being buried on the day that he died, without an autopsy.

Why don’t they just call in all the little boys whose life he destroyed to piss on his grave??

[Howie66]

In a landfill? Good planning!

I think there is some slack if circumstances prevent.

Just when ya thought it couldn’t get any weirder.

[hoosiermama]

Are they going to get the NoI involved?

[CaptRon]

Autopsies not allowed either.

Of course, come to think of it, maybe it is to be a traditional “Black muslim” burial with Louie Farrakhan doing the honors.

[Recovering_Democrat]

From what I recall, the Jewish and Muslim traditions say the dead must be buried within one day of death. Two at most.

Game over.

A traditional “Black muslim” burial with Louie Farrakhan doing the honors may be different, I guess.

[bitterohiogunclinger]

I'm no expert, but does “muslim” tradition celebrate drug abuse and allow for second autopsies to satisfy the families quest for greed?

The Islamic groups are still pretty upset that MJ died when he did, they were hoping on using him as a global spokesperson for Muslims.

Are they going to get the NoI involved?

Looks like ol' Jesse and Al are not gonna get speaking fees.

“global spokesperson for Muslims”

Would he have been allowed to wear his burkha?

[matginzac]

Beat me to it! So maybe in Islam there is no time for undue adolation - how very western of the Jacksons to take advantage of the whole situation then call for a muslim burial - too ridiculous!!

Nancy Grace and the rest of’em will be going nuts
