American pop icon announces intention to convert to Islam, according to sources in Bahrain
Does this explain the anti-Semitic comments? American pop star Michael Jackson has officially announced that he has been following the five tenets of Islam and intends to convert to Islam, according to a report on the website of Arab-Israeli newspaper Panorama.
The report is based on information elicited from sources in Bahrain.
According to the report, Jackson’s announcement noted he is moving to Bahrain and has purchased some real-estate on an artificial island there. The singer said he decided to convert to Islam because he is convinced it is the closest religion to his personal beliefs.
Jackson also noted he intends to soon move all his assets and his studio from the U.S. to Bahrain, and expressed his hope to be rid of various legal troubles and enjoy the kind of freedom he says he does not have in America.
Notably, if the reports are correct Jackson would not be the first member of his family to make the move to Islam. His brother, Jermaine, who moved to the Gulf nation of Dubai, is also a convert.
According to the sources, Jermaine was the one to provide his famous brother with books about Islam and encouraged him to convert. The report says the pop star read the books and even added his comments on some pages.
Jackson was the center of recent controversy after it was reported that he referred to Jews as “leeches” in a phone message to a former business partner.
Referring to Jews, Jackson was heard saying that "they're like leeches…I'm so tired of it…They start out the most popular person in the world, make a lot of money, big house, cars and everything. End up penniless. It is a conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose."
Great, now the Islam will be known as the religion of peace & pedophiles.

What is the Islamic punishment for pediphilia?
The life of Mohammed sets the precedent that child molestation is acceptable - but at least the Prophet had the right sex. Besides, what would Michael have to look forward to -- he's already had the 22 virgins. Perhaps a jihad against the child exploitation laws?

Neil and Buzz originated the Moonwalk. MJ is a cheap imitation. And not a very good one, at that.
If you don't have anything to convert from - - - well, what else? He falls for the false religion.
At least he will no longer be giving the jehovah's witnesses a bad name.
So that's the REAL reason for his conversion. He can engage in pediphilia at will and wouldn't have to face any charges. What a great "religion"!
I thought he already did. He's been having Calypso Louie's thugs hanging around him for some time.
With MJ that would be Neil and Bob.
Why wouldn't he? After all he's got money to fund several suicide bombers.
>>>> His brother, Jermaine, who moved to the Gulf nation of Dubai, is also a convert.

I hope that they read the brouchures carefully.
I wouldn't want them to get scammed for those fast-talking realtors ;-)
