I'm a Christian. and I love Michael. If michael converted to islam, I wouldn't agree with it and that would make me very very sad. But I still love him.
Quote from: "Crescendo"I'm a Christian. and I love Michael. If michael converted to islam, I wouldn't agree with it and that would make me very very sad. But I still love him.Crescendo, I think you stated your beliefs in a very fair statement. You were not hurtful. You mentioned something about Jesus, and I know this is not the place to talk about religion, but we all know how important religion and spirituality was in MJ's life, as well as in his many fans lives. I want to tell you, the story of Jesus's miraculous virgin birth, to Mary, can be found in the Qu'ran. It is believed in Islam, that Jesus came to the Jews, just like in Christianity, and that by Gods leave, he preformed many miracles. Including and not limited to curing the lepers, raising the dead, healing the blind. Muslims give Jesus the name in the Quran, "The Messiah", which means the anointed one. Muslims believe that on the day Jesus was to be crucified, he was taken up to Heaven and will return to Earth to destroy the false Masiah and rule in justice...Just as the Christians believe. Our beliefs are not too different. Islam teaches that before the Quran, there was the Torah and Moses and the Gospel and Jesus...in that order...and both are sacred texts. Islam came to re establish the original teachings of Christianity and Judaism, in that there is ONLY one God. In that sense, Islam does not make the claim that Jesus is God. Our relationship with God is one on one with no intercessor, be they Jesus or a priest or nun. I can assure you, there is nothing to be sad about if MJ ever chose to convert to this Religion. Often, people who convert are happier, more at piece, more active in society and helping of others and over all better people as many families can attest to.
as for the staff Michael hired, how would jermaine know who Michael hired as his associates and employees?
and Jermaine has said before that he was Michael's "back bone" :roll: OMG.. I couldn't believe that. Just like Latoya said that Michael liked to watch Dancing with the stars. Yeah I'm sure Michael loved dancing and loved to watch others dance but how would Latoya know that Michael liked the show? She did not live with them and I got the impression that Michael hadn't seen his family in a longggggg time though his relatives said they saw him right before June 25th. I just get the impression that him and his family were a bit estranged.
Can we put the racial tension towards Islam/Christianity aside, forget if its a good thing or bad thing if Michael converted?? just for a minute Say Michael did actually die, well i asked a friend of mine who is a muslim what would happen. she told me she did not think Michael was a muslim for the simple fact of the length of time it took to bury Michael. Had he been a muslim, Jermain im sure would have upheld Michaels faith and buried him as soon as possible, My friend said muslim burrials are usually just a few days after the passing, as soon as they possibly can. Like i say i know Jermain is a muslim and i know jermain would have made sure Michaels beliefs were followed. Even with an autopsy, a murder investigation as soon as the body is released it would have been buried. Makes sense to me.I found this on the net alsoMuslims strive to bury the deceased as soon as possible after death, avoiding the need for embalming or otherwise disturbing the body of the deceased. An autopsy may be performed, if necessary, but should be done with the utmost respect for the dead.I dont care if michael was a christian, Muslim Shaolin Monk Buddist Jew or even a Jeddi What bothers me is if big IF he did die and he did convert NO ONE followed the beliefs of his faith over his burial
Misha, i was simply stating my feelings. Like I said I am a Christian. I believe Jesus is the only way. (please note the underline under the word "I" These are my beliefs). If Michael converted it would make me sad. I can't say it wouldn't. But i would still love him. What's so bad about that?By the way it disappoints me about the idea of me being racist or prejudiced. I come from a multicultural family from all types of religions.With all respect, I don't tell anyone how to live. I am simply stating what I feel.I'm not tryin to offend. I try ever so hard to not step on anyones toes and be respectful towards other religions as I would like them to be respectful towards my beliefs.So yes I still think: How would Jermaine know whats in his brothers heart and how Michael felt?and Yes if Michael converted to muslim beliefs, it would make me sad because I don't believe that to be the right way.. but I would still love him. I love him as if he were one of my own close family members. I just want what is good for Michael. because I really do care and want the best for him even as crazy as that sounds. I have alot of compassion, love and respect for him. I don't mean to sound crazy but I know i do. for some reason Michael has made such a big impact on me as well as many people whom he never even shook hands with.mykidsmum,You said that people who have converted to being a muslim have been happier and more at peace. But the people who have converted to Christianity claim the same as well as other people who convert to other religions such as scientology and others. Its kinda of a who's right?I just believe that there is peace in Christianity as yall believe there is peace in Islam.I'm not mad at anyone here but I am disappointed in some of the posts that have been directed towards me as if I have said something bad against Michael which I have not. I have only been distraught more than I have ever been in my life over this man whom I had never even met.I have edited this because I did write some of this in a hot headed temper (because I am still human) but i'm not trying to spread anger. I just feel like I have been put on the defensive. No anger. Only love. only love.No anger. Only love.
