Rokko Posted December 18, 2003 I was reading an article this morning news and had to share with ya all. Islam is being the savior for many trouble inviduals who realized or seeing the truth. What ya all think. New York - Michael Jackson became a member of the black group Nation of Islam on the eve of being formally charged with child molestation on Thursday, the New York Post tabloid reported. The newspaper quoted unnamed sources as saying that Jackson became a member of the black Muslim organisation led by Louis Farrakhan on Wednesday night. "The King of Pop is restyling himself Jacko X," said the tabloid. "High-ranking members of Nation of Islam have been working to bring Jackson into Reverend Louis Farrahkan's flock - and Jackson's conversion is now well-known in the NOI community," said the report. Farrakhan's organisation, which is controversial because of its leaders' anti-Jewish and anti-homosexual declarations, would not comment on the report. Fox News reported on Wednesday that Jackson's brother Jermaine Jackson had brought Farrakhan's chief of staff Leonard Muhammad into Jackson's inner-circle as "a bodyguard". According to Fox, Jermaine Jackson, another ex-member of the Jackson Five family group, converted to Islam in 1989. The television channel's report said Jermaine Jackson and Leonard Muhammad were "making the case to Michael that he was a victim of racism and that only the Nation of Islam could save him." Jackson, 45, is on $3m bail after being accused of multiple counts of child molestation against a boy aged under 14. Jackson and his lawyers have strongly denied the accusations, calling them "a big lie". The singer is to be formally charged on Thursday in Santa Maria, near Jackson's Neverland Ranch at around 22:00. Jackson was last month handcuffed and subjected to humiliating police mugshots and fingerprinting when he returned to Santa Barbara to face arrest last month.

Khayr Posted December 18, 2003 Doesn't this post belong in the 'JOKES' section. We already seen one 'WACKO MICHAEL' use Islam to help him out with the courts. Now, the rumor is that the biggest 'WACKO JACKO' is trying out the 'Black Movement' thing when all long he wanted to be everything but BLACK . PPPPPLEASE! :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QUANTUM LEAP Posted December 18, 2003 Suddenly Jailbirds are seing Islam as their salvation ...but somehow I have afeeling that this is just to poiticize their dilema rather than really want to be a muslim. A case in one is Tyson.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted December 18, 2003 brother Jackson just doesnt have that ring to it, but hey if its true, it can be a path to islam as we know it,,,which has been the case for many former Nation of Islam members who realised the truth, i hope he does embrace the 'real' Islam, ia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Qac Qaac Posted December 19, 2003 This could be one of those things that the media could use to put islam down, they said mike tyson is muslim, a nation islamist, when he start using bad language, goes to clubs, hangs with lots of women, and now micheal jackson, so now what a child melaster is a muslim, anyways whatever they try to do islam will prevail, coz allah said so. and if he became a real muslim is only good for him, but is just a nother rumour, like i heard shaquil o'neal is a muslim too, come on ppl. will smith too, stop this pls.

7_steps_2_Heaven Posted December 19, 2003 well said qac qaac, the media is respinsible for the bad repitation Islam gets. wacko jacko muslim puhleeeeaaaaz! man i heard that when I was 10 and who else 2pac. The media NEVER says some1 who is important 2 da community and is highly respected has become muslim but the bad boys who r child molesters 2 murderes they categorise theM as muslims aka terrorists, isn't obvious that the spotlight is on islam. "wixii xun ba xaawaa leh" in this case Islam. MAY GOD HELP US ALL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First are we all becoming Tv addicts, cz everytime i turn around all we talk about is what the Tabloids are spreading,and who cares is MJ converts to Islam.Even though this was a big hoax,but i don't care so don't heat up ur blood pressure by assuming something which is not there.And i might add for the first time i am blvng MJ did it this time.
