Yep, sure enough is true....the following is from Wikipedia link:
Michael converted to the Nation of Islam on December 17, 2003.[52] Later in 2005, because of his links with the Bahrain Royal Family, he converted to Sunni Islam.[53] After this conversion, he decided to build a mosque on land near the palace of the Bahraini royal family.[54]
After being acquitted of the child molestation charges, Jackson relocated to the Gulf island of Bahrain, where he reportedly bought a house formerly owned by a Bahrain MP.[61] Jackson allegedly spent his time in the Gulf writing new music, including a charity single dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina entitled, "I Have This Dream". Ciara, Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly, Keyshia Cole, James Ingram, Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine, Shanice, the Reverend Shirley Caesar and The O'Jays all reportedly lent their voices to the charity song. After many delays, the single was not released, despite being announced on 13 September 2005. At the time, Jackson's spokesperson, Raymone K. Bain, said the list included Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, James Brown and Lenny Kravitz. These artists later appeared to be no longer participating.[62] One year later, the Katrina Charity Single still remains unreleased.
On March 9, 2006, California state labor officials closed the singer's Neverland Ranch and fined him $69,000 for failure to provide employment insurance. The state "stop order" bars Jackson from "using any employee labor" until he secured required workers' compensation insurance. In addition to being fined $1,000 for each of his 69 workers, Jackson is liable for up to 10 days pay for those employees who now are no longer allowed to report to Neverland for work.[68] Thirty Neverland employees have also sued Jackson for $306,000 in unpaid wages.[69]

Michael jackson did convert to Islam, and is currently living in Qatar. They can have that pedophile, we don't need him here. By the way, he used to be a Jahovahs Witness, His mom and dad raised their kids that way. it is rumored that Prince is also now a Jahovahs Witness.

He has flirted with Islam in the past actually, I don't think this is an entirely new thing for him.

Nothing would surprise me coming from him. I think he's done a lot more already than anybody should do in two or three lifetimes. So, you know, a change of religious beliefs, does it really matter?
