Michael Jackson converts to Islam

Billie Jean wasn't his lover, and he was both Bad and Dangerous, but Michael Jackson has finally converted to Islam, leaving his Western animal farm behind.

That's right - Neverland is closed, the pathers were sent home, and Michael Jackson is dressing up as a Muslim woman in Bahrain.




The news around the world, despite the worsening economic crisis, is that Michael Jackson has converted and changed his name to Mikaeel.

"Last year his brother, Jermaine Friday, suggested Jackson would convert having taken an interest in Islam since Friday's conversion in 1989.

"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," said Friday.


"He read everything and he was proud of me that I found something that would give me inner strength and peace. "

I can understand Jackson's inner conflict... he was a world famous entertainer, a creator of music. Then, because he started acting a little strange, his country looked at him like a freak, someone to laugh at. Simultaneously, he was charged with being a pedophile, and that's how he'll always be remembered, even though he was absolved of any guilt.
