Michael Jackson going Muslim and Building a Mosque?

Michael Jackson IslamAccording to a an Arab-Israeli newspaper Michael Jackson is moving from Jehovah’s Witness to Islam. An Iranian newspaper reports that Michael Jackson donated a huge amount of money for building a state-of-the-art mosque near his luxury palace in the Bahraini capital.

According to a report on the Jewish website ynet.com, quoting the Arab-Israeli newspaper Panorama, Michael Jackson is moving from Jehovah’s Witness to Muslim:

“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.””

His Jewish attorney, Brian Oxman, denied on eurweb.com that Michael Jackson is anti-Semitic :

“”I have been with the Jackson family for 15 years, and I’m Jewish. I have never once seen anything anti-Semitic from him or from his family.” …Oxman doesn’t deny that it’s probably Jackson’s voice on the tapes, but insists that he has never experienced any anti-Semitism from the singer or any other member of the Jackson family.

Jackson’s rep Raymone Bain is also denying that Jackson is anti-Semitic. In a press release e-mailed Wednesday, she wrote:

“Michael Jackson does not have a racist bone in his body. Never would he say anything, or do anything, that would be offensive to any ethnic group, or hurtful to any ethnic group. It is not in his character, or his being. He has spent his entire life reaching out to people throughout the world by spreading love through his music, and his philanthropic efforts. It is unfortunate that these tapes are being disseminated throughout the airways without any due diligence with regards to the authenticity.”

An Iranian website reports that Michael Jackson, who recently settled down in Bahrain has donated a huge amount of money for building a state-of-the-art mosque near his luxury palace in the Bahraini capital:

“The proposed mosque would be designated for learning the principles and teachings of Islam, as well as teaching of English language, for which high-standard teachers would be brought from United States under his personal supervision, the spokesman said.

Jackson did so as a token of appreciation to the Bahraini people, who welcomed him and treated him as if he was one of the citizens of their country.”

Sources close to Michael Jackson denied the rumours that he was planning to donate money for the building of this mosque according the Bahrain based Gulf Daily News. In the past Michael Jackson donated huge amounts of money for building Watchtower Properties.

    @ safa is cool. First of all God doesnt have to a have a “father” He’s God the beginning and end so Jesus doesnt have a grandfather that doesnt mean Hes not God. i never knew to be God youd have to have a grandfather. Also I have seen across the internet of people who have named people who memorized the Bible http://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=13863&page=3, so please get your facts right. And if say no one has memorized the entire Bible, how does that mean it is not the truth? P.S. God Bless all!

    micheal(meekal) is a muslim

    P.S to all the cristian first think this way if Jesus(Isa) is son of allah(god) than who is Jesus Grandfather Huh?

    And to all the bible is never memerised by anyone only the Quran(muslim holy book) if you take a Quran from each country it will be same but if you take a bible it willl never be same E.G it might be german ,english or french.

    so there I am a muslim

    Have you noticed that now that Micael Jackson is dead,the JWs can’t kiss his ass enough? Before this the very mention of his name would have brought about a snarl on any face in JW land.
    I think the Watchtower smells $$$$$$$$

    @Phoenix Pest Control
    You had me a little worried there for a minute. I thought you had developed something to eradicate neighborhood pests that knock on your door on Saturdays and other odd times during the week.

    I understand. If I am honest this blog does also use celebrities to attracts traffic. This site has some good articles, but the gossip toned articles like this one attract the most visitors if the number of comments are a measure.

    @Richard E

    Hi,
    If you read carefully, my comments are not concerned to this blog.

    mj is being used for religious propaganda.

    Adsense ads are placed automatically depending on the main keywords
    specified for this post but, someone has purchased the ads through
    Google Adwords, and they are paying towards the PPC.

    Who is that someone?

    @hello
    What do these ads have to do with ‘religious propaganda? The Google ads are showed to support this site and Google displays targeted ads. On this page the main keyword is Islam, so Google shows ads about Islam…

  27. hello
    July 16th, 2009 at 09:41 | #27

    I am really surprised, celebrities are being used for religious propaganda.

    On this very page I see a Google ad “Muslim girls”. Below is written ,
    “View over 100000″. I thought viewing muslim women was a sin.
