a bit far fetched, BUT maybe he became really a muslim

As far as i know a muslim isn't buried....its burned right?

It really hurts me to see how everybody is reacting like it's a bad thing if Michael did convert to Islam. I'm a Muslim myself and if Michael would convert to another religion other then the Islam I would never say hurtful things about that other religion as I could hurt the believers of that religion.
I thought we as Michael fans would understand that the diversity in people and cultures is a beautiful thing because of the way we can learn from each other to grow as a individual.

I also noticed that some are reacting with a big lack of knowledge of the Islam. For example; that Muslims don't say 'God' but only 'Allah'. That's not true! Allah is the Arabic word for God. So muslims can call the Almighty 'God' or 'Allah', it doesn't really mather how you call Him.
We also DO believe in Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him. Not as the son of God but as one of the most important prophets.
And one other thing: we do say 'God bless'

I just wanted to set some things straight  


@Le Papillon Bleu,
Nope cremation is forbidden in Islam, only burials are allowed.

Thanx 4 the info
If Michael converted i don't think it's a bad thing as long as he finds his inner peace.

I am a muslim woman and I really get offended when I see the reactions of some people when it comes to Islam and Michael's possible conversion. It's a kind of reaction of rejection as Islam was a bad thing and I don't understand it.
It just prooves once again that the media brainwashing works very well. Muslims = Terrorists.  Is that the true equation ? No, of course.
Come on what brought us here ? Love ?  Why all these prejudices against Muslims ? It would be good to learn some things about this religion. We also believe in Jesus, he is very respected in our religion. All the prophets are respected and recognized from Abraham to Mohammed. We make no difference between them so there is no contradiction in Michael's speech when it comes to faith. The message of God is unique and universal and Islam do not depart from the rule. We're all brothers and sisters and we must love each other.

I don't know if Michael converted, we have no proof, but if he did I would understand why he kept it secret.  It just makes me sad.

God Bless You

Michael was spiritual.. i dont think he belonged to one organised religion.

To me it doesnt matter what "religion" MJ chose to follow...

Im muslim and it doesn't matter what religion Michael chose he was a jehovas witness and I still loved him, I didn't care so for all you insecure people that like Michael other then for himself your not a real fan, if he read this thread he would be so ashamed that people were angry he embraced another religion

[paula-c]

Sarahli , s right when he says that the media have done a fine job, removing words from my mouth, the bias by God, every person is free to belong to a religion they want, any religion oblige anyone to kill or be a terrorist That is the they have invented excuses to be invading countries, and sorry that I was not the issue, but that is the reality :evil:

Jermaine wanted Michael to convert too, but he never did. Muslims do not use the word 'God' just like Crescendo said. The Sun came with the story that he became a Muslim, and we all know the Sun

Exactly. As far as I know A Muslim always uses the word Allah ,not just God .
Also I wondered about 2 things.
#1 maybe Jermaine wanted  the attention by implying that he was the "inspirational leader" to  Michael .
#2 Was that another attempt to destroy Michael's image as the media have create a a bad opinion to the most people about the Islam ?

I wonder  :?:

sorry i disagree with "A Muslim always uses the world Allah, not just God" .
usually we use "God" words too .. and sometimes i say "God Bless You"
But when Michael really ever come to Mecca .. I guess he is Maybe a Muslim
but i don't know ..
that's his personal connection with God ..
i think it's none our bussiness

no this is not far fetched...i posted a topic about his relationship with farrakan and I also read that his secruity were all from the nation of islam also. Jermaine has said numerous times for allah to be with him and thats his brother so if he knew that he embraced islam that could be reason also

and to add to the comment about not saying he was muslim because of bad press, i also agree, plus black muslim get a bad rap

but of course mj could only be christian :roll: and him converting to islam is
'bad" :roll:

and like other have pointed out muslims also say God, in the movie slumdog village Salim says "God is good" right before he dies so there goes the theory he is not muslim because he says "god bless"  :lol:  :lol:

and even thought people think that jermaine wants attention I agree with his theory on blacks and islam. Being black i also have always leaned towards islam. African americans also name there kids arbic names all the time.i.e Jamal,aisha,aaliyah ect and some dont even realize it. i think that is is something sub concious that attracts blacks to islam and arbic culture.

Now this is nice!  This same topic was posted before and some people were so hostile about the topic.  I just want to say how amazing everyone sounds in this thread.  One of my main theories that I have posted about was this issue.  I posted about a possible connection between cat stevens and MJ.  It was reported that Cat Stevens (now Yusef Islam) was present at this conversion, something he later denied.  After MJ died, he came out with a cryptic tribute song on youtube.  Not only that but one of his statements he made on his website about MJ passing, call attention to the fact that he just found out Jackson's middle name was Joseph...it was out of place and added at the end like an after thought.  That got me to thinking he was saying something about Joseph...the story of Joseph...Joseph is believed to be dead by his father, only he is alive and well.  Then there is the story of Cat Stevens.  In the 70's he left fame and fortune and the stage for Islam.  His fans turned against him and had an album burning.  If MJ left his career for Islam, I'm sure he learned a lesson from Cat Stevens.  I'm sure if he did convert he would keep it private and maybe he is just away for a while after all....Like Joseph.

I have no way to know, because it is not the word of Michael.
Muslims say God. Allah means God in arabic and some Christians say the word that way too. Muslims believe in Jesus, just they don't believe He is Son of God, but one of the prophets.
