Really bizarre--Michael Jackson to join Nation of Islam (true)

[Zuni]

Jacko X from the Australian

Jackson 'joins' Nation of Islam From correspondents in New York December 19, 2003 MICHAEL Jackson became a member of the black group Nation of Islam on the eve of being formally charged with child molestation, the New York Post reported today.

The newspaper quoted unnamed sources as saying Jackson became a member of the black Muslim organisation led by Louis Farrakhan on Wednesday night.

"The King of Pop is restyling himself Jacko X," said the newspaper.

"High-ranking members of Nation of Islam have been working to bring Jackson into Reverend Louis Farrahkan's flock - and Jackson's conversion is now well-known in the NOI community," said the report.

Farrakhan's organisation, which is controversial because of its leaders' anti-Jewish and anti-homosexual declarations, would not comment on the report when contacted by AFP.

5. I believe he was raised as a Jehovah's Witness

Can't imagine this is going over too well with his parents.

I can't help but wonder (if this is true at all) if this is a heartfelt conversion, or another (see marriages) PR stunt.

6. so lisa marie didn't convert him to scientology?

that sez something if scientology is too weird for jacko!

i figure she/they just eyed up his $$$ and wanted him in the fold

how else do you explain that marriage?

11. 2 kids with screwed up childhoods bonding together

and they had married soon after his first scrape with molestation charges.

3. If you cant do the time, dont do the crime asshole...

"Jackson was last month handcuffed and subjected to humiliating police mugshots and fingerprinting when he returned to Santa Barbara on his private to face arrest last month."

What a shit face.

14. "What a shit face"

who? The one assuming that he did the crime, or Michael Jackson?

4. who cares

Every time i see a Jackson thread on DU i say "who cares", because I will not be taken in by the conservative media's efforts to distract me from real news.

7. A question:

Is a Muslim Jacko more or less weird than the Jacko we're used to?

Discuss.

8. If he starts spouting off Farrakhan talking points

looking and acting like he does, I think so. can you imagine this effeminate, high pitched, plastic surgery scarred alleged child fondler spouting off afrocentric history and racial seperatism?

[Blue-Jay]

10. Will he demand reparations?

If so, I wonder if he'll float me a loan to make mine?

[Zuni]

16. Imagine MJ leading a reparations rally

while he himself had an amusment park and a zoo in his backyard.
It would be surreal

9. Q: How Does Michael Jackson Pick His Nose?

A: From a catalog, of course!

12. He better stay clear of the Sharia sects

They have a penchant for slicing off body parts for offenses to Islam.

Oh wait, maybe that's the point, Jacko needs free plastic surgery!!

And why is it people "find God" or in this case, Allah- only when times get tough ???
