The Last Thing Islam Needs
by Jeff Guhin

is Michael Jackson, seen here wearing traditional Islamic female dress.  Evidently, he converted:

A source said Jackson had appeared a “bit down” and added: “They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had become better people after they converted. Michael soon began warming to the idea.

“An imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief.”

Last year his brother, Jermaine Friday, suggested Jackson would convert having taken an interest in Islam since Friday’s conversion in 1989.

“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,” sai

d Friday.

“He read everything and he was proud of me that I found som

ething that would give me inner strength and peace.
