Is Michael Jackson converting to Islam?
Posted online: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 at 1016 hours IST London, January 30: Jermaine Jackson said on Monday he wants his brother Michael to convert to Islam; and he believes the reclusive superstar has given it serious thought. “Michael, I feel, needs to become a Muslim because I think it’s a great protection for him from all the things that he’s been attacked with, which are false,” said the former Jackson Five singer, who now lives in Bahrain. “There’s a strength and protection there,” Jackson told BBC Asian Newtwork after finishing runner-up to Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty in the Celebrity Big Brother TV reality show that was marred by accusations of racist bullying. Jackson said he believed his brother had given conversion “serious thought” during long spells in Bahrain.
