| JACKO FINDS ISLAM |
| 2003-12-18 |
| EFL & You cannot make this up! The King of Pop is restyling himself Jacko X. Michael Jackson last night became a member of the Nation of Islam - and sources told The Post his religious changeover comes along with a shake-up of his personal staff. That’s how I converted from atheism to Christianity. You know, I was in the middle of firing all of my staff, and thought ‘hey, why don’t I convert’. High-ranking members of the Nation of Islam have been working to bring Jackson into Rev. Louis Farrakhan’s flock - and Jackson’s conversion is now well-known in the NOI community. En-shalla Exactly why Jackson converted wasn’t clear to The Post’s sources. This is called covering you ass, in anticipation for jail time. But Fox News’s Web site reported yesterday that Jackson’s brother Jermaine, who converted to Islam in 1989, has been seeking to win favor with his more famous sibling, and has brought Farrakhan’s chief of staff, Leonard F. Muhammad, into Jacko’s Someone needs to fend off all the children, no? That’s just one of many changes under way in Jackson’s inner circle, sources said. Other changes that have been leaked to the press include Mr. Ali Jacko being fitted for a new wardrobe. Rumored to be included in this new wardrobe are a lot of orange jump suits. |

| #28 Well, at least we know MJ isn't completely out of money: garregos and cochran are on the scene. Those bloodsuckers wouldn't be hogging the cameras if jacko couldn't pay their tabs. Sh'mon, inshallah, heee-hee, and all that. |

| #27 Also wondering what the Scientologists will have to say about this I thought Jacko was a Jehovah's Witness. |

| #24 I just remembered that the NOI believes that people were originally black and an evil alien from 10,000 years ago created the white race. If many whites actually looked like Michael Jackson one might actually believe this. |

| #22 seafarious: Expect to see the Scientologists and the NOIds meet in a dark alley for a ruthless yet exquisitely choreographed knife fight. |

| #20 Will Jacko now have to wear a bow-tie with his Sgt.Pepper-like uniforms? Despite the seriousness of the allegations, this just keeps getting better and better. |

| #19 But ohhhh, what a fine mutt. ;) |

| #18 Sorry, I didn't mean to get everyone off the important topic -- that Michael Jackson is certifiable. OP -- I agree. Mariah's a mutt just like so many other Americans, myself included. |

| #17 From Jet magazine: "Even though she didn't want to discuss it, Carey is hoping the topic of her ethnic identity will finally be put to bed. "Ethnically, I'm a person of mixed race. My father's mother was African-American. His father was from Venezuela. My mother is Irish. I see myself as a person of color who happens to be mixed with a lot of things. And no matter how I answer ... No matter what you say, when someone asks you the question `What are you?' and you say `Black' and you look mixed, they're going to ask what you're mixed with. That's what always happens. I think a lot of people who look at me and don't know a lot about mixed-race people are confused by it." |

| #16 Mariah Carey is black ? I didn't know. Which just goes to show how far the US has moved toward a color-blind society! It's the extremists that keep bringing up race as an issue. For most Americans, it was an easy transition, and we've moved on beyond skin color - now we hate for other reasons. The current nutcases pushing Aztlan and the Islamofascists have given us new people to concentrate on - for far more legitimate reasons than skin color. |

| #14 Am I just being paranoid? Seafarious, it's not paranoia when they're really out to get you. |

| #13 Brilliant PR move, Michael. Just when everyone is convinced that you're a crazy pedophile, you join an organization run by a crazy racist. And didn't you call Tommy Mottola a racist devil a few years ago? Farrakhan is less racist than Tommy Mottola (who, by the way, was married to Mariah Carey, a mixed race womanwho is more of a black woman than you'll ever be)? |

| #12 You may recall that there were some questions raised during the search of Neverland about the whereabouts of three Norwegian youths who were allegedly visiting with MJ at the time. I never saw any more about whether or not they were found, but one name struck me; Omer Bhatti, a Pakistani-Norwegian. My ears always perk up when I hear Norway, 'cuz that's where Mullah Krekar (Ansar-al-Islam) hangs his turban these days. Am I just being paranoid? |

| #11 Robert C. I've heard that Kandahar is a center of homosexuality and many love ballads of the NAMBLA type originate there. This may predate Islam (Kandahar is named for Alexander). Also, since I made the comment earlier, I've done some additional browsing and it does seem that some of the Koranic and hadithic content could be seen as permitting homosexual acts (although this is contradicted by other content). Of course, the NOI is wacko even by the standards of Islam. |

| #10 oops..muslims. |

| #9 I'm sure his performances will be welcomed by Muslim's worldwide. |

| #8 Well, it's only NOI. Not like he's becoming a real muslim, or anything. Tito, get me a fatwa. Jermaine, stop seething! |

| #7 Doesn't anyone else remember the Afghan tradition of love-songs to young boys? |
| Posted by: Robert Crawford 2003-12-18 9:42:34 AM |
| #6 Mohammad (posbuh)liked young girls, not, I think, young boys. |

| #5 Jacko Bin Diddlin. It sings. White folks in a jam go into rehab. Black guys in a jam join the NOI. I think it's in the celebrity manual. |

| #4 Islam is big in prison. He's just getting a head start. |

| #3 Don't forget, Muhammed (peace of sh*t be upon him)... ROFLMAO! Damn good one, Mike! |

| #2 He converted to the only religiion that would understand him. Don't forget, Muhammed (peace of sh*t be upon him) was a child molester to. |

| #1 I wouldn't have thought it possible, but surely Michael's conversion adds even MORE credibility to the Religion of Peace. |
