Last night, on the eve of child-molestation charges being filed against him, Michael Jackson converted to Islam, reports the New York Post.

According to the paper, the pop star became a member of Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam, and the conversion came with a shakeup in his personal staff.

The Post says Jermaine Jackson, one of Michael's brothers became a Muslim in 1989 and has been trying to win favor with his eccentric sibling. Jermaine reportedly brought Leonard F. Muhammad, Farrakhan's chief of staff into Michael's inner circle as a "bodyguard."

Jackson reportedly is a former Jehovah's Witness and has had an interest in Judaism.

Tom Sneddon, Santa Barbara district attorney, plans to file formal charges against Jackson today as the child-molestation case against the entertainer progresses. Jackson was booked and released on bail Nov. 20 after allegation surfaced he molested a 12-year-old Los Angeles boy at his Neverland ranch.

The report says authorities have agreed to return Jackson's passport to him so he can travel to the UK this weekend. His arraignment is expected to occur on Jan. 16.

Jackson, through his lawyer Mark Geragos, has denied any wrongdoing.

NOI is not real Islam.

[thesummerwind]

If he converted, he did it because those well-organized muslims in jails might protect his tender a** when he has to meet Bunk-Muffin. (not)

Hey!!! what's white,plastic and should be kept away from children?

[Freebird Forever]

Since jackson may eventually end up in stir, joining the nations largest prison gang makes sense.

----Hey!!! what's white,plastic and should be kept away from children?----

Why.... that would be Michael Shabazz Muhammad Al-Fadil Abubu Jackson!

Now, what's the difference between Jacko's face and a plastic bag?

The bag is non-biodegradable.

I'd like to point out here that whether or not Michael Jackson "converted" to Nation of Islam, that's not really the same as converting to Islam.

NOI != Islam

No regular Muslim would consider NOI to be part of Islam, as far as I can tell. NOI has their own prophet.

'Course, they're both kind kooky, if you ask me.

It ain't true..Michael Jackson would never, NEVER wear a bow tie...

[kaylar]

I wonder if the PTB aren't afraid that , if convicted, MJ will inspire yet another LA riot? Riots in other cities, maybe outside CA too? Maybe they are hoping he'll run.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

From Jehovah's Witness to Nation of Islam?

I don't believe that the Muslim world truly recognizes the Nation of Islam.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL, I'm afraid to ask...

[savedbygrace]

Rearrange the letters and Islam becomes Malis, which is a misspelling of malice. There ya go, you read it here first.

Islam = Malice

[Radioactive]

Yep. You are right.

[Poohbah]

Well, one group in the "Nation of Islam" is the "Fruits of Islam."

Maybe Jacko thought that they were an Iranian gay-rights group.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Does this mean American gay-rights groups are going to push for democracy in Iran? WOW!

[AFreeBird]

I think Michael wants to look like his sister. Hmm has anyone really seen them together? Are they one in the same?

[sharris]

u know it could be.....why else would sunglasses be worn?

[gcruse]

Hmmm. It looks like the melanin degradation syndrome is genetic...

Jackson reportedly is a former Jehovah's Witness and has had an interest in Judaism.

I guess he's trying for the split the difference approach to religion that Muhammed was trying to exploit early on in the Arabian peninsula. Poor doofus. Too bad his intellect doesn't match his musical talent.

I came apon the show like you would a car wreck.
