Pop superstar Michael Jackson has sparked further speculation he is on the verge of converting to Islam, after pledging to erect a mosque in his adopted home of Bahrain.
The Thriller hitmaker has won planning permission to construct a 30-metre (98-foot) building just outside Manama on land adjoining the palace of the Bahraini royal family.
The former Jehovah's Witness has been living in the Middle Eastern nation since he was acquitted of child molestation charges in his native America last June (05). He was recently pilloried for appearing in a Muslim abaya robe, which is traditionally worn by females.
"Michael is looking to give something back to the country that has welcomed him so openly," Jackson's spokeswoman Ramone Bain was quoted by Contactnusic, as saying.
"Thousands of people are embracing Islam, Michael is just one of them," Discover Islam spokesman Aman Khalib added. (ANI)
The kids already have a head start with those veils.
A Mosque or a mask?
what's he paying fer it with? i thouhgt he was bankrupt
Good fit for Michael. Islam was founded by a pedophile.
Maybe his creditors can't reach him in Bahrain?
This poor perverted misfit is on a suicide mission.
Jackson pledging to erect a mosque?
For some *strange* reason, I don't think this will turn out quite they way they envisioned...
A mosque..He will have all those within, thrusting their buttocks at him..
Will he have to wear a burkah?
Makes as much sense as anything else he's done since "Thriller."
Does that make him the butt-ee or the butt-or?
Of course he will convert. Everyone knows its ok to be a pedophile under islam... just look at the prophet.
Sheesh.
How's he building a mosque? Isn't he in huge debt? Must be a *loan* from one of his new muslim-islamic-arab buddies' kids' oil-profits allowances.
I wonder how long he'll last wo/ molesting some of the kids over there? Just a matter of time, based upon his history.
I wonder if they'll film his beheading...
Exactly the first thought that occurred to me. With what IS he paying for it?
Makes Islam look even worse...
A fool and his money are soon parted.
In the case of Islam:
The fool also parts with his soul.
Jew vs. Arab starring washed up stars from the 80s?
