Western Resistance suggests that Jacko is doing this to cover himself after getting caught in a ladies' loo, headscarf and all, in Bahrain. "Jackson to build a mosque in Bahrain," from the Khaleej Times, with thanks to Fjordman:
MANAMA — World’s top pop singer Michael Jackson, who recently settled down in Manama has donated a huge amount of money, the figure was not disclosed, for building a state-of-the-art mosque near his luxury palace in the Bahraini capital, according to his spokesman. The proposed mosque would be designated for learning the principles and teachings of Islam, as well as teaching of English language, for which high-standard teachers would be brought from United States under his personal supervision, the spokesman said.Jackson did so as a token of appreciation to the Bahraini people, who welcomed him and treated him as if he was one of the citizens of their country....
It is noteworthy that Germain Jackson, the brother of Michael had embraced Islam at the beginning of 1990s, and he was one of former Jackson Five band and the solo singer[.]
Germain had felt his brother Michael has great interest and study of Islamic books, the tolerance of Islam and his dealing with Arab and Muslim personalities since long years. The most prominent among those figures is Prince Al Waleed bin Talal and the Bahraini royal family.
Bahrain can keep him.
RoP stands for religion of pedophiles. Jackson would be right at home. I suspect Iran would be even more welcoming.
Voletti,
Not sure if Iran would be more welcoming.
In the winter of 1986 child soldiers of the Party of Allah organized a massive campaign of 'purification' in northern Tehran against the fans of American, black singer, Michael Jackson. Hundreds were beaten up, dozens had their T-shirts ripped off and burned and many were thrown into prison for up to three months. Shops selling 'the miscreant's filthy discs' were closed down or burnt, and a bonfire was made of the hundreds of Jackson video-cassettes seized during raids on 'evil-harbouring homes'. The daily Jomhuri Islami (Islamic Republic), published by the President of the Republic, Hojat al-Islam Ali Hassani-Khamenh'i devoted several editorials to this campaign, which he described as 'an Islamic counter-attack against a conspiracy hatched by Reagan to lead our God-fearing youth astray'. Friday prayer leaders congratulated the young members of the Party of Allah on their 'splendid victory'.'You have shown that you have understood the fact that belief in Islam means readiness for perpetual Holy War', said Ayatollah Abbas Va'ez-Tabassi in Mashhad. 'Satan appears in all forms and guises. One of his latest manifestations is in the shape of that sodomite black boy from America whose senseless wailings have no place [in our land]'

Once he becomes a Muslim all his past misdeeds are erased.
He can then surround himself with raisins or small boys with impunity, marry small girls from age 9 upwards if he fancies a change. The only companion that might be a bit suspect is Bubbles the ape. And Liz Taylor might have to find a lilac abbaya.
Jackson is also in the news today at www.cnn.com for saying some crap about Jews.
A person, who can 'go down' on an innocent child,can stoop 'down' to any lavel on any thing. By the way,the heap of dollors he uses to build the mosque is earned in Christian America (the so called Great Satan to islamists.)
Rafia sez:
"...the heap of dollors he uses to build the mosque is earned in Christian America (the so called Great Satan to islamists...)"
Sheik Yer'mami seriously doubts that someone as deluded as Wacko-Jacko could connect in this nexus.
Like the Saudis, who believe "Allah" gave them the oil (and the undeserved wealth that came with it) this strange creature is rather inclined to give all credit to Allah.
Money matters, however, couldn't be left to 'his people' and like his friend, Saudi 'prince' Al Waleed, just naturally went to the Joooooozzzzz for guidance:
http://nydailynews.com/front/story/368275p-313343c.html
One suspects that the Joooozzz, like alchemists, were expected to make gold out of desert sand. When that didn't happen, they turned into "leeches"...
Let 'Allah' have him!
This was perfectly predictable. All the signs of the marginal personality are there. The only surprise: what took him so long? Perhaps he didn't quite want to burn all his bridges with Elizabeth Taylor.
Perhaps one day you will hear a soft voice muezzin call from an Islamic minaret. Sultan of Pop Michael Jackson becknoning Muslims to prayer.
I thought Jacko was bankrupt and cash strapped. How did he get the money to fund the construction of a mosque?
This would burn any bridges with Elizabeth Taylor, unless she belongs to that 0.00001% of Hollywood that has not been infected by Leftist PC.
Thought the 'Ladies Loo' incident was hilarious -
now seems to be turning into an Arab soap opera.
Bahrain is indeed welcome to 'Wacko Jacko' who is
neither one nor the other gender with his ridiculous lifestyle and predatory pursuit of little boys. The sick mores of Islam are well suited to paedophiles and perverts : Michael will
feel at home. Surprised about his lavish spending as thought he was cited as a bankcrupt?
With 'Jacko' on their side doing PR, well, we couldn't have paid for a better negative ad campaign than this.
The moon walker is in his element!
Michael has always been a weirdo incapable of logical thought much like muslims. From wanting to be white to wanting to be Peter Pan so he could play with tinkerbell. His latest foray into stupidity is not surprising.
In any event islam allows you to play with little boys if you so desire so I guess he is just finding a niche (so to speak). I also wonder where the hell he got the money, cuz I thought he was broke...?
You go get'em Michael...forget Liz, islam will give you everthing you want just.
Sick freak.
..."as well as teaching of English language, for which high-standard teachers would be brought from United States..."
Could this possibly mean that your command of our language has improved substantially since my residence in your (our) land 10 years ago??
He fits right in with the death-cult, he uses the word "ignorant" a lot.
His conversion is a conversion of hatred. He hates the US because we tried to convict him of pedophilia, so he joins the religion that gives him free reign to have sex with little kids and hates the US, win win situation for him. He has already begun his "hate the Jews" speeches. I wonder what Liz Taylor will think of that?
Jaco's plan of joining the islamic club was known to me much earlier as I was residing in middle east, and one of his brother,who is already a muslim,comes here to Dubai and Behrain and give reports about his (in)famous brother Jaco. News paper Khaleej times of Dubai used to give write ups about how this brother of Jaco is persuading him about Islam.
Jaco wants to bring U.S. english teachers to teach Behrainians english ,so that it will be easy for them to migrate to America to pollute. United States should cancell his U.S. citizenship and let him remain in the desert sand. Atleast Our children will be safe here. Probably,this Weirdo is following the footsteps of Cat Stevens (Yousuf Islam) of UK. I am glad this Cat was chased out of USA,when he wanted to come for promotion of Islam. Now,he (Cat) has bought a 1871 church building in London suburbs,and wanted to convert it into Islamic study center,and a mosque. Lot of opposition from the general public there for it,but he will succeed as the London"s mayer is supporting him. By the way, I was told Jaco is very friendly with the son of the Behraain king. Alla only have to save that guy!!
I still can't understand how singers convert. Isn't music illegal?
"son of the Behraain [Bahraini] king..."
-- from a posting above
Years ago, J. B. Kelly explained that the local tribal chiefs lording it over this or that petty sheikdom in the Gulf had an amusing habit of giving themselves promotions. Thus the man whom the British had always called, simply, "the Ruler of Bahrain," took to calling himself not Sheikh but Emir or Prince or something. And now, one discovers, a well-oiled ruler has climbed unopposed to the top rung of his very own ladder, and given himself the topmost possible billing in his privately-printed Old Charmer's Almanach de Gotha. And presto-chango -- the "King of Bahrain." Akin to being King of Monaco, or King of Marvin Gardens, or King of the Castle.
Michael Jackson has found just the right part of the world in which to settle, for what are the smaller Arab oil states turning into, with all their skyscrapers and teeter-tottering towers and grotesque luxury hotels, each more absurd than the next, if not one giant playground of the kind that Jackson has always favored, whether Neverland or Las Vegas. But those in the Jazirat al-arab come without the toy trains and petting zoos of the former, and without the gambling dens of the latter, but bristle instead with malls and mosques, and with a lot more weaponry, than either Las Vegas or Neverland.
Jacko's new song - "Just Beat it" becomes "hack It"
Wording would be something like:
So Hack-it! Hack It! Jews don't matter so hack it!
Cut off that head, Cause whacko jacko said-
Just Hack It!
It is fortunate for Jackson that his ancestors were taken by European slave traders to the Americas. Otherwise they might have fallen victim to the vastly larger arab slave trade out of Africa. In that situation, if they were the lucky 10% to have survived the journey, his male ancestors would have been castrated and kept as eunuchs and his female ancestors as sex slaves. All their half breed children would have been killed. If you think this is exaggerated, how else can one explain why the many millions of Africans who were taken into Islamic slavery left no progeny. Why are there no great Afro-Islamic communities in the middle east? Why is Cairo not the home of the blues?
African Americans are quick to condem the west but to convert to Islam is surely a vindication of the arab slave traders methods of leaving no witnesses or avenging children.
Pure marketing from Wacko Jacko. His customer base in the Western World is permanently ruined, by his standard of past sales at least, offering a steady decline in sales.
He needs a new market where he will not be judged - or if he is, will be forgiven for his services to Islam.
Building the Mosque & attacking the Jewish Community are the opening salvo's of his campaign to break a new market - Islam.
The writing has been on the wall for a long time now: the writing that Jacko would convert to Islam. Couldn't we ALL see it coming?
Converts - or should I say 'reverts' - are all of an ilk: ex-druggies; people who can't find their place in society; misfits, etc. Doesn't it all figure?
If he's going to bonk his head on the desert sand five times a day, he's got a lot to give up! Will he really be able to rise to the challenge?
Peterborough;
I'm not sure how far your lineage could progress with "castrated male ancestors"
DCWatson beat me to it, Jackson is a freak of nature. That's one mind I wouldn't want to take a walk through. Everything about him screams "freak", his altered physical appearence, his mannerisms, his thought-processes and opinions. Jeez, he creeps me out. Only in the sick world of the entertainment industry could such a "thing" be sheltered, supported, nurtured, and protected.
Converting to Islam is the most logical next step, it's the one thing he's done in twenty years that isn't surprising. The entertainment industry could only support his bizarre alternate reality to a certain extent, as it is within, and bound by the laws of, the US. The obvious next step is to go over to the dark side, where lies are truth, depravity is piety, the disgusting is adored, and "all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others".
As for his money, as I understand it he bought the rights to the Beatles catalog years ago. With public revulsion his own sales slumped and it was mentioned that the royalties from the catalog were the only thing keeping him afloat.
Additionally, while I'm sure it would make the news if he sold "Neverland", and it hasn't, he may realize his days in the US are over and he may be divesting himself of other, lesser known property.
IF I can remeber rightly Al-Jacko converted 2yrs ago

Osama Bin Laden Appalled Over Michael Jackson Member Of Islam
1/21/2004 - Marni Malarkey
Al Jazeera television has released another Osama Bin Laden video, this one clear proof the Al Qaeda leader is alive, as it deals in a direct way with current headlines.
In the approximately 12 minute video, Bin Laden expresses consternation that Michael Jackson may have joined the Nation of Islam, on the grounds that "someone like him could easily make Muslims look weird, threatening, crazy and dangerous. We don't need guys like that."
Jackson, charged with several counts of child molestation, has, according to media reports, recently joined the Nation of Islam and even hired members of the group to act as his bodyguards.
Bin Laden called Jackson's membership in the group "dangerous for Islam, dangerous for the world and dangerous for all the kids over here on the Afghanistani/Pakistani border." After adding the requisite "Death to America" segment to the video, Bin Laden again stressed that welcoming Jackson "into the fold could really do damage to Islam's PR. I mean, that guy's just scary, you know? I would not let even one of my 45 children near him. What are the average Mr.and Mrs.USA going to think of Muslims now? Before they probably just thought of us as regular folk, you know, like on an episode of 'Leave it to Beaver,' only maybe a little bit swarthier. But now, you know, if that whacko Jacko guy joins they're going to think we're unhinged and they're going to be really, really terrified of us. Thanks a lot, Jacko!"
Bin Laden expresses consternation that Michael Jackson may have joined the Nation of Islam, on the grounds that "someone like him could easily make Muslims look weird, threatening, crazy and dangerous. We don't need guys like that."
LOL. Nice one Shiva.
But as I recall, Jackson said a few years before that that he wanted to "leave the limelight, have some children and just sit around blowing bubbles".
He didn't leave the limelight, but he did 'have' a few children, apparently. As for the last part...anyone know what happened to that chimp?

Michael Jackson Has "An Anti-Semitic Streak" -- Tape Shows He Hasn't Learned From Past Mistakes
New York, NY, November 23, 2005 … Reacting to revelations that Michael Jackson referred to Jews as "leeches" in a voicemail to a former business manager, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today said the pop music icon "has an anti-Semitic streak" and hasn't learned from his past mistakes, including the use of anti-Semitic epithets in a 1995 song he wrote.
In tapes aired yesterday on ABC's "Good Morning America," Mr. Jackson was heard saying of Jews, "They suck … They're like leeches. … I'm so tired of it … It is a conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose."
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:
Michael Jackson has an anti-Semitic streak, and hasn't learned from his past mistakes. It seems every time he has a problem in his life, he blames it on Jews. It is sad that Jackson is infected with classically stereotypical ideas of Jews as all-powerful, money-grubbing and manipulative.
We had hoped that Jackson would have learned from his mistakes. While he apologized for, and later removed the anti-Jewish lyrics in "They Don't Care About Us," it is clear now that he never was able to completely remove the bigotry from his own heart.
It is important now for Mr. Jackson to stand up and acknowledge that his words are hurtful and hateful. He needs to show his fans that he rejects bigotry and is truly serious about stamping out, in his words, "the ugliness of racism, anti-Semitism and stereotyping." This can only begin with an apology to Jews everywhere, especially those fans who have been deeply hurt and offended by his words.
