Michael Jackson's Converts To Muslim Faith...And Becomes Mikaeel

To some he's lost his mind, now he loses his religion...

Friday 21st Nov 2008

Michael Jackson's latest crazy stunt involves reportedly converting to Islam on the eve of his court battle with an Arab sheik.

The King of pop - who was brought up as a Jehovah's Witness - is said to have sought solace in the faith after speaking to an unnamed songwriter and producer.

A source tells The Sun, “They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had become better people after they converted.

"Michael soon began warming to the idea."

The source adds, “An Imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief.”

“Jacko rejected an alternative name, Mustafa — meaning “the chosen one”.

Michael is now referring to himself as Mikaeel - the name given to one of Allah's angels.

Poll  Do you think Michael's new faith is a good move?

Yes

No

  • I hope its true. And I hope every one gets educated about Islam for them selves, and ask God for the true guidance. He will guide those who seek it. Islam is a beautiful religion, we just have to find it out from the right source, like Quran.

  • Mr. Haszard is the epitome of a "man with an agenda and an axe to grind." He is obsessed with defaming Jehovah's Witnesses. Seek professional help Mr. Haszard. Holding such deep seated grudges is not good for you. It is impossible to present a clear and logical argument when you start on bias footing. At the very least one can not give credence to anything you say because your bias negates the veracity of your argument. Michael Jackson has his own issues that have nothing to do wi
