"When I came back from Mecca I got him a lot of books and he asked me lots of things about my religion and I told him that it's peaceful and beautiful. He read everything and he was proud of me that I found something that would give me inner strength and peace. He could do so much, just like I am trying to do. Michael and I and the word of God, we could do so much."
The recent comments by Jermaine are being taken as breaking news. In reality, Michael's intentions to convert to Islam were reported as far back as November of 2005 in a report released on the website of the Arab-Israeli newspaper, Panorama. The report was based on information elicited from sources in Bahrain. At that time Jackson had officially announced that he had been following the five tenets of Islam and intended to convert to Islam.
Jackson had also announced he was moving to Bahrain and had purchased some real-estate on an artificial island there. Jackson said he intended on moving all his assets and his studio from the U.S. to Bahrain, and had expressed the that he be rid of various legal troubles. His desire was to enjoy the kind of "freedom" he says he does not have in America. The singer said he felt Islam was the closest religion to his personal beliefs.
I would hope that these would not be his personal beliefs. At the time of that same report Jackson was accused of using anti-Semitic language in a phone message to a former business partner. , referring to Jews as leeches. 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." That would explain a few things. The one thing that could move an ardent Jehovah's Witness to become a Muslim is bad feelings about the Jews.
Michael has been staying in Bahrain as a guest of the royal family. Jermaine Jackson converted to Islam in 1989.

Post a CommentDear Muslims,even though I am a protestants,I know how you feel about the comments,but some things you say are not pleaseing to Allah.AND,the others please do not insult the Muslims.
I am a protestant and even though I may not like it,MJ did convert to Islam.There is proof.I AM NOT SIDEING WITH THE MUSLIMS! I do not like it one bit,but he died as a muslim.
theres no such thing as hell..and besides,enough and enough to prove that muslim religion is religion of hate.and there allah is the demon,coz their allah is cruel and brutal..thats why they are not afraid to kill,becoz allah the demons protect them and happy for what they do.thats why,i am firmly convince that mj doesnt convert at all.he love peace,and love,and he dont even fight back like these muslims,so no way mj would convert.he juz respect them only,coz that is mj's nature,very respectful
i think its enough to prove that your praying to allah the devil.cause the true god doesnt course at all..and also,dont assume mj is like you,coz he doesnt talk like the way you talk!i think it should be you both josef and john have to put some brain on it!
ok I`m one of millions & millions fans of MJ (may god bless his soul), I`m muslim & proud of him such a pretty soul,if he proofed to be muslim I`ll pray thanking for god every singl day.if not I`ll be always his loyal fan any how god bless his soul,this is my email if somebody like to contact to discuss about him as entertainer & the most important as a nice human that saddly gone too soon ehab3k@Yahoo.com,or add me to ur contact list on yahoo messenger as ehab3k
MJ never converted, his lawyer denied it, go on wikiislam and read for yourselves and check this link too, the story is just a lie made up by the Sun newspaper
