Why did Michael Jackson convert to Islam?

Question

Someone told me it is because when someone is converts to Islam, Allah forgives all their sins and lets them start over. How do you think the Muslims feel about having a known homosexual child molester join their religion?

Answer 2

Louis Farrakhan's goon squad protected him during the trial.I guess he owes them money so he paid up with his soul.

Answer 3

because he is a moron. What group would want a pervert like him around, he is a walking time bomb. What will his next scandal be? I shutter to think.

Answer 4

Perhaps there is a very simple reason.Perhaps he is a jerk.

Answer 5

What Bloody Rubbish

Answer 6

there are many homosexual child molesters and criminals joining other religions too. and u know that very well if u are in states.

Answer 7

thats not really logical answer your friend gave you... assuming MJ was christian before, doesnt christianity say that God forgives your sins just for being christian and asking? so why bother converting to islam?

Answer 8

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
nice so nice

Answer 9

If God forgives him, who are we to feel anything. In fact we feel he has done the right thing.

Answer 10

Hello. First off, he was never convicted for it. And secondly, Islam is all about being forgiven and starting anew, so it's alright if someone who's committed an offence converts as long as he learns not to do it again. But I thought this Michael Jackson converting thing was just a rumour? His brother Jermaine converted but I'm not sure if Michael Jackson did.

Answer 11

I don't know if he did. But how does Christians feel having all these child molestors from their religion ?

Answer 12

For real? Please dont demean the gay community by including micheal jackson into it. There is a difference between being a homo and being a sick child molester. We dont hurt people. Get it striaght.

Answer 13

He wants to try what being a muslim is all about.
He was acquitted of the sexual charges, by the way.

Answer 14

there is no proof he is a child molestor.

maybe Michael jackson probably can see just how hypocritical christians can be, so hes trying your enemy.

Or maybe he has inquired into the religion, and decided it has much better views on life than Christianity, and much better people in his own opinion.

Answer 15

islam is not just a religion.. its a "way of life"... it guides us to success in both the worlds.......
if u'd ever read the quran.. u'll get to know the true beauty of islam...

Answer 16

didn't realise he did convert to islam, just shows how much i know about him

Answer 17

He wants to have lot of chil... i mean wife to sleep with

Answer 18

I don't know that he did convert. I think they behead homos over there in the Middle East. I've never seen a gay Muslim Arab.

Answer 19

Because he's really gone wako, he needs one more conversion - and who can guess!

Answer 20

Maybe Mike wants to dress in those formless robes that cover from head to toe. Last I had heard, several years ago, Mike had been paying a Voodoo priestess to put curses on his enemies and Mike, himself, may have been practicing Voodoo.

Answer 21

i'm pretty sure some Muslims are not happy with him being a pedophile but then again being michael jackson can make others forgive him or believe that he is not a pedophile. but remember he was not found Guilty. nobody is happy to have a child molester in any religion. but maybe the Muslims just reached out to him with a lot of persuasion because being jehovah witness did not help him out. who knows!

Answer 22

Yes he did become Muslim, alhamdoulilah! (praise be to God).

Why is everyone assuming that he's guilty to begin with? Why judge people like that? In America, aren't we supposed to believe in being innocent until proven guilty? In Islam, if you talk bad about someone or spread falsehood about them, all of their sins are passed on to you. I actually think Michael is innocent. But if he were guilty, in the eyes of God, it doesn't matter anymore (so long as he is sincere in his conviction). All of his sins are wiped away. Also, when you become Muslim, all of your bad deeds from before are counted as good deeds (and all the good deeds are kept and multiplied).

Lots of people say that his conversion only makes our faith look worse than it already does. But I for one don't care (we've already endured other types lies about us, just look at the media). He has found the Truth, so good for him. I think he needed some peace in his life, what with people always criticizing and insulting him. He will be changing a lot of his ways for the better, and for sure he won't be molesting any children (if ever he did to begin with).

Islam has a long history of earning favor amongst unpopular crowds, and people on the outskirts of respectable society. Slaves and women were some of the first converts, as well as the poor, because it guaranteed them freedom and equality regardless of race, color, gender, etc. This did not make a good first impression in the materialistic and superficial society of Mecca, because for the Arabs at the time, such equality for African slaves, women, and others was completely unheard of. In India, a great number of the people who were deemed as "untouchables" by the rigid caste system were the ones who embraced Islam. I'm sure that at the time, Hindus felt that it made Islam look bad, being made up of these people whom they felt were hardly worthy to live. But in reality it served as a refuge of mercy for so many people! For this reason I really don't care if Michael Jackson might ruin our reputation as Muslims. Islam accepts any and all types of people- it's not about building an image that will look glamourous to everyone else. He is now my brother in Islam and I am so happy for him. :)

Answer 23

Answer 24

as far as i am aware he still is a jehovahs witness as he was for many years.

Answer 25

God has no time to look for his past sins. Hence he may be forgiven in any religion

Answer 26

WHAT?
Please give me proof of this......I don't believe you.

Answer 27

yes, i would like to second Muslima. Islam accepts all kinds of people -the Blacks, the Whites, the rich, the poor, etc. MJ is now my brother in Islam. Welcome MJ!! :D

as mere humans ourselves, i feel that it's inappropriate for us to judge others by some mistakes they committed. when someone has repented, it's not impossible that he/she will become even a better person than us... =)

Answer 31

He doesn't have anything to repent for! He is innocent of those ridiculous charges! He has done more good for charities and made more people happy with his music than anyone!! If he wants to convert to a different religion then that's his choice! I say good for him! He will always be THE KING OF POP, no matter what!
