"Pop star Michael Jackson has converted to Islam at a ceremony in Los Angeles attended by Yousef Islam, the singer formerly known as Cat Stevens, sources say. Jackson, whose once-amazing career has been eclipsed in recent years by reports of bizarre behavior, as well as legal and financial troubles, is said to have changed his name to Mikaeel and taken the shahada -- or made a declaration of belief -- as part of his conversion to Islam, Al-Arabiya said Friday. The religious ceremony reportedly took place at the Hollywood Hills home of Toto keyboardist Steve Porcaro, who composed music for Jackson's iconic "Thriller" album. Jackson's lawyer said the singer has agreed to testify in person next week at a $7 million breach-of-contract lawsuit brought against him in London's High Court by the king of Bahrain's son, Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa. The sheikh is suing Jackson for allegedly backing out of a business venture that was to produce an album, including songs the royal wrote for and planned to record with Jackson, as well as an autobiography and a stage play. However, Jackson contends he never signed an official agreement and insists the payments he received from the sheik were "gifts," claiming the royal's case is based on "mistake, misrepresentation and undue influence."

I remember somebody making fun of Serbs when a picture of Jacko, wearing a Serbian WW1 Army badge, emerged. Who's crazy now? LOL

What an illogical idiot, for someone that doesn't believe in their existing faith (how on earth are you going to have faith in a new one?) to convert is well an idiot.

Didn't they say the same years ago? I don't know if I believe it. In any case, good luck to him .

I'm sure he'll be accepted in the Islamic community. He was a Jehova's Witness before this. You know, the people that knock on your door when you are usually busy.

Zvone, lol, I know Jehovas Witnesses ;D. I invited a Jehova couple inside once ;D. Very nice people, actually...but I'm not so sure they liked talking to me that much...I asked them a lot of questions that they couldn't answer :S. In the end it was like they couldn't leave fast enough ;D.
But yeah...I think most Muslims get excited when someone converts. Which I don't understand...it's not like people convert for THEM :S. Who cares? lol.

I worked with a really really lovely girl once and she was a Jehova. Her family was always like that. We rarely talked about it, but it was good when we did to learn about what they are on about.
I just think MJ is just lost, anyone converting is lost, they think they will find something new by doing this, which they won't.

The whole Michael Jackson drama/ life is very sad, this is what happens when you have too much money and time on your hands also no real knowledge of life itself. Used and abused by the industry and then abandoned. Many go hard on drugs and Alcohol etc and are found dead in the rooms. I am surprised he has so far survived.
