91. If he is sincere...
treif ,   Michigan, USA   (11.28.05)
(ok, for what it's worth, I'm Jewish). If MJ is a competent adult capable of making a legitimate decision to embrace Islam, it would do him a world of good, and I wish him well. His pre-celebrity Watchtower Society childhood taught him basic principals appropriate for any faith. Let's hope he's sincere.

Islam is your truth, not everybody's. I respect that it is your faith, please respect that it is not my faith.
93. i dissagree
Mya ,   Dubai   (11.28.05)
that is not true, and you cannot catagorise islam as a false religion, i could easily do the same to other religions but that would disrespect alot of ppl- and isnt this world all about respect? and no, they dont KILL all disbelievers, in times of war-yes, but it is not a command to be followed by every muslim like they would be on some mad killing spree, its a religion that teaches the basics of moral more than any other, open your heart n ur mind n approach islam differently, try to see whats really there-not what you want to see peace
94. he didnt say it
josh ,   usa   (11.28.05)
what is with this so called news site? Doesn't post actual news? it seems it has an agenda against MJ. Only want to make things seem worse. First of all MJ said he didnt say that stuff. anyone can make a audio tape and say its someone. I wish you'd guys would listen to the facts of something for once. If you guys are jewish, then no wonder why so many people hate u. look at how you act and treat people.

97. Yeah!
Sami ,   Ireland   (11.28.05)
He knows what's the right thing!
98. Blacks know he is guilty
Lakeesha Watson ,   Detroit MI   (11.28.05)
He's a pedo and he hates his own race. That is why he erased all of his african features and has 2 white fake wives and 3 white fake children. I am black and everone I know thinks he's guilty. It's is not true that black people like him no matter what.
99. Islam Rox
Miss Muslima ,   London   (11.28.05)
Islam Rox
100. that is his own choice
adam ,   italy   (11.28.05)
First of all he has right to choose and fellow islam. secondly you poeple if he would have choose another religion beside islam , every one would appriciate him . but that it shows your hutred of islam and don't worry islam is the truth religion what ever made against islam , people will never stop converting islam . just to remind jews have tried every now and then to spoile the name of islam but we have seen after 9/11 in america only 34000 converted to islam . because no one is igonrant about 9/11 who was behind not muslims . so wether u tried to attack micheal coz of converting to islam it means u don't believe in freedom of relgion .
101. jared (#96)
albertu ,   roma   (11.28.05)
you are ignorant don't want accept the truth .
102. adam - i love it when you talk that way
mike ,   usa   (11.28.05)
you LOVE rumors and will believe anything as long as it fits into your views, no matter what it is. you say "no one is igonrant about 9/11 who was behind not muslims". you are EXACTLY right. no one is ignorant that muslims were responsible because of islamic ideology - the same islamic ideology which kills children and old people in iraq. you are 100% correct: we are not ignorant of the truth!
103. American Judicial System Sux??
Jeebz ,   India   (11.28.05)
MJ was proven innocent..so why u americans think that he was guilty of those charges??? Do u guys mean that American Judicial sytem sucks??? The judges who declared him innocent where blind hunchbacks...or its just coz a American idol whom ur younger generation use to worship has coneverted to islam??? you people must have bashed same way when Mohammed Ali (boxer) converted to islam... by acuusing MJ you people are acuusing ur judicial system...a judicial system is a mirror where you can see what standards of justice you people have ..so if MJ is guilty..you people should be ashamed of yourself and on your system
104. A Muslim Jackson
Nadda ,   Charlotte   (11.28.05)
I think it could be a good thing IF he is for real. Muhammad SAW thought everyone deserved a chance. Michael Jackson is no different
105. to Lakeesha Watson
Marcela ,   Czech republic   (11.28.05)
Lakeesha, how do you know that Michael hates his own race? First of all, I think his daughter is not just white, she looks pretty mixed to me. But they have white mother, so they will be half white. I don`t know how little Blanket looks like, but Prince has these big dark brown eyes. I think if he married a white woman to have mixed kids, it is because his own experience with being black and how he was treated. He probably doesn`t want his own kids go through that. It is sad. But I don`t think he hates his race. He has black friends, his family is black etc. But Michael is such a unique personality that not so many people understand. Talking about his physical appearence - it is spectacular. But Michael is really sensitive about himself and he was probably wounded so much as a child that it left marks on him. I think his self esteem is really low because of his dad telling him his nose is big etc. and I think Michael just picked up the features he liked on other people (Liz Taylor eyebrows...) and though were beautifull and had it done so he would be pretty. If you know what I mean. He did it with his music. He soak all the best entertainers inside like a sponge a created something new. And the thing about his skin - he has vitiligo, like he said before. You can ask his make up artist how much it take to cover all these spots on his face and body. I saw him in 1996 in Prague where he started his History Tour and I could reach him wih my hand. That`s how close I was and I could see some spots on his hands and neck. And all of this does not mean he is a pedophile. It is easy to apply things in our society to somebody without knowing him. I`ve been studying Michael for 14 years because he is so interesting. And his points of wiew are so much simplier than we think.
106. May Allah accept
Abu Muhammad ,   chicago, il   (11.28.05)
May Allah guide Michael and all of us to the straightpath leading to never ending life in paradise. May Allah increase all our Eiman on 'there is nothing worthy of worship, but Allah and Muhammad is messnger of Allah'. Aameen
107. many convert IN the pen
random madisonian ,   madison, wi USA   (11.28.05)
I won't even go into the stereotypes that all muslims are arabs (they are around 20% of the world's muslims and more like 12% of american muslims), all american muslims are immigrants (at least 30% are converts) and all american converts to islam are black (although they definitely are a greater percentage than white converts like me.) what i mainly wanted to point out is that i am personally friends with a group of men in this city, of several ethnicities, who converted to islam while in prison and are now out, living as productive (and very peaceful) community members. one of them married my best friend. in other words, this is turning their lives around- rather than bringing them into the prison as you assumed.
108. Islam
NA ,   Illinois, US   (11.28.05)
Sarah, You should read about "Islam" before you say nothing negative about it. 9-11 the Muslims were set up by the govt. Same thing with London bombing of July, 2005. You should read your history it was the Ottomans who saved the Europeans from plaque and taught the Europeans civilization. Along with The Europeans have done the same. Please don't listen to the Media about us - Muslims. Take care

Michael ,   Jerusaelm, Israel   (11.28.05)
Oh yes they are... Take my wife - please! ;)
110. how do you know that?
fatih ,   istanbul Turkey   (11.28.05)
how do you know that M.J f..k children?were u with him when he was f... children?just beat it...
111. Equality of the sexes in Islam
Lior ,   London   (11.28.05)
Well, Jackson will be in good company with the "Prophet". Mohammed married a girl of thirteen, roughly the age of the boys Jackson has allegedly been molesting. I didn't realize the equality of the sexes in Islam meant being able to engage in homosexual as well as heterosexual paedophilia. And yes, Sam, in Alquds, in what you call "Palestine" we Jews do circumcise, just like Moslems do - only we don't do it to our women as well. A further example of equality of the sexes under Islam.
112. Response to #81- read this please!
Bablu ,   USA   (11.29.05)
First of all you don't know anything about the Quran. You probably just cut and pasted it from some online source. But if you wanna check on those verses again go to (www.geocities.com./masad02) and look em up yourself what those really means. As for Jesus Christ being the true God or whatever you wanna call him, thats fine with me but the thing is you must believe that God created all mankind and how Fair is your God? because currently 2 billion people claims to Christians but what about other 4 billion, they are going to hell? Then your God must not be a Just God at all!!! And when did Jesus walked in the earth? what about the people who lived and died long before him, they are all going to hell, Did your God create those people? what about the many people who do not know about Christianity at all, those go to Hell too? How unfair is your God? how ever Islam takes a different approach (http://mypy.org/his387.htm) this site contains an article (ll inclusive nature of Islam) I recommend you read it and and I recommend you read the Quran at geocities.com/masad02 before you make any kind of judgement. You may be angry by this but our beloved Prophed Jesus taught "love your enemy" Why do you always take Islam into trial for action of one man? there are good and bad people everywhere! As for why are so many Muslims in Jail? It is not there so many Muslims in jail but they convert to Islam in jail when the come out they make a decent living peacefully. all religion, your religion and my religion is Islam, the word Islam means Submission, in this case Submission to God as a way of life, One True Unseen Eternal God. Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammed all prophets and messengers taught us that. I believe in all prophet and One God. I dont say Muhammed is better than Jesus and Moses is better than Jesus. They are all same to God. If you do hate, hate all you want!!! No one can stop God from guiding a person to the ultimate truth. "There is only one good, namely knowledge, and only one evil, namely ignorance." Plato
113. Is he aware
El jacko ,   USA   (11.29.05)
Is he aware of the penalties in some Muslim countries for child molestation?
114. WHO CARES!!
ummSulayman ,   Toronto, ON, Canada   (11.29.05)
I don't understand why you guys are making it into a big deal, MIchael is a free man and he can live whatever he wants in this world. By the way Michael would have been born a MUSLIM until his forefathers were important by the white slaves masters who turned him to christian from his forefathers religion which was ISLAM. SO there is nothing wrong if he reverts to his religion and lives in Bahrain. SO......... go michael you are free and can live whatever you want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
115. he
(11.29.05)
I agree that all this is because he has dared to whisper something not so kind about the jews, so they have decided to whipe him of the world, that's all.
116. Re:#81
El ,   Iran   (11.29.05)
whenever you want to talk or judge about something, try to learn about it first. And don't rely much on what the media say, because they are all funded by zionists, so they will never say anything good about Islam. Oh by the way, I have a question, what is the religion of the American soldiors who invaded Iraq? What have they got to do with a country so far away? what if Iraqis don't want to have American democracy? didn't they KILL INNOCENT IRAQIS when they wanted to invade the country? Are they the followers of Jesus, the prophet who we muslims respect and you worship? Or are they muslims, or maybe they are going to convert!!

"Islam is Best"? And you have the unmitigated gall to say Jews are arrogant? Your triumphalist attitude is indicative of why the world is in the situation it is.

Jane ,   New York   (11.29.05)
Almost correct. It's really "Islamists throw rocks".
