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, Jacksons 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."
Good. He gives Christians a bad name. Anyway, he already makes his daughter wear a veil.
He's been following in Mo'ham heads footsteps foh a numbah
of years anyway...
Are ye daft man? The religion was founded on it!
Mohammad married a 5 year old. But in deferance to the parents he held off rapeing her till she was nine.
They can have him! Big question is whether or not he will wear a burka....
I guess Jesse Jackson isn't his religious advisor anymore.
Islam and Michael Jackson have been connected/mentioned since back in Dec. 2003. The Nation of Islam supposedly moved in and took over some of his affairs especially security etc. but don't know how truthful that is.
Well, he's certainly stupid and weird enough to be a Mohammaden. Plus he likes to screw around with little boys - the Moos seem to love that. And goats.
What is the sentence for molesting little boys in Bahrain?
lol...
You people don't love me enough so I'm picking up my toys to go play with the Mohammedans so they can love me.
"I think, but am not sure, that plastic surgery is prohibited, atleast the cosmetic kind. According to ask the imam"
Many Middle Eastern women get plastic surgery of various types.Supposedly there are plastic surgeons in Texas that prctice only in SA.
Seeing that conversion to Islam takes a matter of under a minute--one only need recite their creed--it's a little odd to announce an intent to convert, rather than merely doing it.
Why not? He is already a grabasstic pederast..
Jackson can play "Hide the Salaam"...
Psychotic... check
Likes little boys...check
Hates Jews...check
Lives in middle east...check
Q: What would Michael have to change about himself to be a muslim?
A: Nothing
Makes sense...a pedophile following the teachings of another pedophile.
Bahrain, huh? Well, none of those Zionist Mexicans in a good white chr*st'an patr'ot country like that!
