The skint superstar, 50, donned Islamic garb to pledge allegiance to the Koran in a ceremony at a pal's mansion in Los Angeles, The Sun can reveal. Jacko sat on the floor wearing a tiny hat after an Imam was summoned to officiate - days before the singer is due to appear at London's High Court where he is being sued by an Arab sheik. A source told last night how Jacko, brought up as a Jehovah's Witness, decided to convert as he used a studio at the home of his chum to record a new album. The star - whose hits include The Way You Make Me Feel - was spotted looking "a bit down" by a producer and a songwriter who had both embraced Islam. The source said: "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. "An Imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief." Mikaeel is the name of one of Allah's angels. "Jacko rejected an alternative name, Mustafa - meaning "the chosen one". Brit singer Yousef Islam, 60 - who was called Cat Stevens until he famously converted - turned up to help Jacko celebrate. It was his pals David Wharnsby - a Canadian songwriter - and producer Phillip Bubal who counselled Jacko. The pair's new names are Dawud Wharnsby Ali and Idris Phillips. Jacko now prays to Mecca after the ceremony at the Hollywood Hills home of Toto keyboard player Steve Porcaro, 51, who composed music on the singer's Thriller album.

/\ you please don't spam us with your blog His brother is a declared Muslim, there are rumors that he had converted but nothing can be said with surety about that
really? I don't think there was any reason (other than self promotion) to post a link to a nascent blog having a single post and that too having no relation with the topic of discussion i.e. MJ and Islam I know you are pretty smart, as you also posted a link to latimes (that too unrelated ), to make your post look legitimate but people here are smart enough to realize these things
Perhaps you are a bit too eager and/or paranoid to get on the "smells spammy" bandwagon every time someone, other than yourself, posts a link. I have no monetary gain from posting both latimes and some schmucks blog which, for an infinite number of reasons, only contains a single post. But I know how this is going to go And no amount of pleading innocent would convince you of anything other than my guilt. With that said, I would tell you that I was merely informing the OP of MJ's passing, as it appeared he was unaware, so that he would not get his hopes up for the "show being canceled" --> but I feel those efforts would be in vain With that, I conclude this being the end of the thread jack
It is also said that he sung http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT6sfkVtwbI praising Allah after is conversion
look what these crazy nuts had to say about that http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=24561 Code (markup):
Can you explain then how you found that site? It surely wasn't a search because I don't see it coming up for any terms. I doubt it was a link from another site because it shows no backlinks or even text mentions other than this thread in both Google and Yahoo. You could easily squash the accusation of it being your site by simply explaining how you came across it. If you have better things to do than explain yourself, I understand... but I'll assume it's yours lol. Anyways, while this is a slightly interesting potential fact that MJ converted I don't know if Islam would be proud or ashamed. Considering the things he's been mixed up with and is known by many as "Whacko Jacko". He was loved my millions while considered a child molester and crazy by millions as well.
Listen all of you people, MJ died he belong to the Mud now, Color,cast and religion is now over. He just belong to the mud he was made from, he only knows where he is going so we should end the topic.
But the religion is never over. Everyone will be created for the second and last time from mud again!
