Michael Jackson could soon convert to Islam, according to his brother Jermaine.
Michael Jackson is thought to be in Bahrain at the moment
The fallen pop star, who was acquitted of child abuse charges two years ago, has been reading Islamic books and developed an interest in the faith, his brother claims.
Jermaine, 52, became a Muslim in 1989 and said he thought it "most probable" that Michael, 48, would follow him.
"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 told The Muslim News, a monthly British Muslim newspaper.
"He read everything and he was proud of me that I found something that would give me inner strength and peace.
"I think it is most probable that Michael will convert to Islam."
He added: "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."
Michael has withdrawn from the public eye since a California jury cleared him of 10 counts of child abuse against 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo two years ago, after a lurid 16-week trial.
He is believed to be staying in Bahrain as a guest of the royal family.
Jermaine, who came second in this year's controversial series of Celebrity Big Brother, shared the vocals with his more famous brother when they were in The Jackson 5.
Please tell me that you are not just now reaching this conclusion!
His grip on reality has been tenuous for many years, but this time he's finally come unspooled.
Provided that he doesn't serve the chimp as a meal afterwards. Islam is very much against you having your camel and eating it too.
bleech
"Well he already has one facet of many islamist down pat.'
Well, that's more than Richard Nixon was able to do.
Asian culionary delicacies? Chilean sea bass? Chicken on a skewer, and lobster won ton. O------KAY, but somebody needs to get out more.
Why am I not surprised.
whatever....
I thought he had converted years ago..
I did some time in Turkey, and I made some friends among the locals. While out shopping one day with a fellow Marine (we always had to travel in pairs for saftey) a couple of Turks asked us what we missed most about America. I replied number one being away from my wife and not being able to make love to her for extended periods of time. The Turks (conscripts from the Turkish Air Force) replied to me that it was my duty to make love to my wife, but an honor to make love to another man, then he turned and kissed his male partner (while in uniform!). I just looked him in the eye and said whatever floats your boat and left. At least they didn't try to convert us to Islam. In Turkey it is against the law to try and convert a Muslim, but they are allowed to convert others to Islam, so I probly would still be in jail there for speaking my views, (does the prison movie Midnight Express (1978) come to mind).
Egads!! That's even scarier than his normal look.
He needs JESUS.
I thought he already did.
Seriously, he was hanging with Fruits of Islam and Nation of Islam types a couple years ago.
Post #38!

They deserve each other.
Muslims allow space aliens to join their religion?
