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?

It depends on what row he's in. As a celebrity, he will want to have it both ways..
"Good fit for Michael. Islam was founded by a pedophile."
LOL!! yes it's true!!
I thought he was broke.
Kool. Bubbles would make the perfect imam.
Neverland HoeHouse Mosque.
JC Monkey balls! Mr. Jefferson has come to town.
In whatever capacity of which he is able to muster, Michael just wants to bring a message of peace to the world. And since Mohammed Ali could provide cover for some of things Michael has been accused of doing (obviously, Michael never DID any of the things of which he was accused, as he as been acquitted), it is an obvious choice to shift his focus to Islam.
Michael is truly a World Citizen.
Michael should marry Madonna next. I think they'd get along fabulously.
I've heard it's OK to be the "pitcher", but the "catcher" gets stoned. It's pretty clear how backward their culture is when you get stoned after sex instead of before.
What a great idea, Michael. Wow, how do you come up with such stunningly creative things like building another Mosque? Will it have a Ferris Wheel, a zoo, a wine cellar and a train?
Make sure you invite all the little Muhameds over for wine and porn.
I've heard that MJ has embraced a lesser-known sect of Islam where they don't advocate the chopping off of whole heads, just noses.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Is any of his 'music' even allowed to be played over there?
Reply to post #11
yes he will have to wear a burqua...he is an ugly middle aged white womam!!!
I have heard from a female who converted that acts with a pre-pubescent male do not constitute homosexuality and it is accepted for men to avail themselves of the child. Once the child hits puberty it's a violation of Shari'a punishable by death. He'll fit right in.
Betcha' all the tea in China that Bahrain has no extradition treaty for diddlers.
Yep. He's right.
All the freaks are embracing Islam.
sick. It's making sense, now, though.
So do grown men get to diddle little boys in Bahrain?
Inquiring minds want to know.....
Everything I've heard indicate that he is up to his eyebrows (he still has eyebrows doesn't he?) in debt.
Would he call it 'Allah juice'? or, maybe 'Mohammad juice'?
What a wonderful gift for us to give to the Arabs, Michael Jackson.
Why Jacko is converting...
Sexuality of muslim men (this is from first hand observations):
1. "Men and boys are for pleasure and women are for (male) babies."
2. It is not homosexual activity if you are the "pitcher" or the one "penetrating."
3. Non-muslim women are all whores and prostitutes
4. Sex with non-muslim women doesn't count (as cheating) because they are infidels
5. If a muslim women is raped, it is her fault (she should have fought back harder)
6. It is OK to marry 13 year olds and have up to 4 wives. It is OK to divorce a wife once she gets too old and add a younger bride to your "stable"
7. It is OK to "marry" a muslim woman, have sex with her and them divorce her - it is called a "pleasure marriage"
This is their mindset. The quicker you understand this the better you will comprehend their bizarre behavior...
Whose money is the perverted freak using? He's pretty much blown all of his.
On another thread it was reported that Jackson hasn't paid his staff for over two months, and let their health insurance lapse without telling them.
It strikes me as if this "religion of rules" is perfect for Jackson. Just obey the rules, while getting enough squirm room within them for being a real turd.
Every time I see his kids I get sick, wondering what kind of lives they lead. Did anyone notice on those interviews awhile back, his older son looked like he had dyed blond hair with dark roots? Why?
Jackson is right at home with those pedophile Islamofascists.
