LONDON: Troubled singer Michael Jackson may convert to Islam, according to his brother Jermaine. The Celebrity Big Brother star said Michael could do a lot of good by becoming a Muslim.
"When I came back from Mecca I got him a lot of books and he asked me lots of things about my religion and I told him that it's peaceful and beautiful," Jermaine was quoted by the Daily Mail.
"He read everything and he was proud of me that I found something that would give me inner strength and peace. I think it is most probable that Michael will convert to Islam," he added.
"He could do so much, just like I am trying to do. Michael and I and the word of God, we could do so much," he added further.
Jermaine, who came second in the controversial Channel 4 reality show, converted to Islam in 1989. His younger brother's comeback performance at the World Music Awards last year was slammed. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/NEWS/World/Rest_of_World/MJ_may_switch_to_Islam_for_succour/articleshow/167

I don't think an Islamic Michael could do a lot of good for the world, I think Islam could do a lot of good for Michael. The guy needs help, and maybe religion is where he can find that.

Its right if this is where he truly finds God. In that case, it will bring him peace, and by extension all the people he meets will be the better for it. Its not right if he is doing it for some other motive. And that is something only Michael and God know. We need to hold our peace on this.

Islam is universal, logical and natural religion.
Islam taught by Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad(pbu them all).
Any one in the universe has right to revert to Islam.
No matter Black, Brown, yellow, or white.
God Almighty can give hidayah (wisdom to find truth) to any on who shows sincerity and seriousness towards religion.

And your point is?????
Be honest - does the Muslim religion really deserve Michael Jackson?

Michael has the right to choose his Muslim religion in the U.S.A. - but could anyone be allowed to choose Christianity in Saudi Arabia or Malaysia ? Your religion doesn't give human beings the right to be wrong !

Of course it's right. Every American has the right to join and practice whichever religion (or none), that he wishes. It's nobody else's business.

Mohamed had sex with a nine year old girl. Sounds like the right religion to me.
