Horrible thought but does this mean that Michael can no longer shave? Picture MJ with Saddam's beard *shudder*.

Your worst nightmare.

I wonder what the Iman says about robbing post offices?

Didn't Jackson used to be a Jehovah's Witness or Seventh-Day Adventist? From the frying pan into the fire...

Anyone know what Sharia says about people who desecrate a site holy to the god of Abraham?

Hmmmmm, I posted on the wrong comments.

From reading the article, I see that his brother Jermaine worked long & hard to get him into Nation of Islam & has seized the present opportunity to succeed. I hadn’t known that Jermaine was Muslim, much less Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam. I saw Jermaine talking about Michael on TV a few weeks ago, & he had a distinctive way of talking, something about his cadence & phrasing in responding to charges about Michael, & now I recognize it—it sounds like Farrakhan.

For you Aussies who don’t already know, Farrakhan is EVIL.

I meant: “I hadn’t known that Jermaine was Muslim, much less a member of Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam.”

The more involved Michael Jackson becomes in the Nation of Islam, the more he will become Farrakhan’s political tool. Farrakhan is into power. His people are commonly thought to have been behind the assassination of Malcolm X. They do NOT REALLY give a fuck about Michael’s proclivities, they care about his money-making potential, his popularity, & his usefulness for propaganda. Nobody will get past the Nation of Islam crowd to see what Michael does behind closed doors.

Unless this is just a passing fad for Michael.

Kind of gives the lie to the theory that the Nation of Islam is a racist and sexist group. I mean, to welcome a white woman like that...

I’m going straight to another Website & using that.

A motive in his joining Naton of Islam may be for protection during incarceration.

Didn't Mohammed have a 6 year old wife? ("Hadith" Volume 7, Book 62) - Aisha.

Paedophilia is a Muslim tradition.

Which,Paul J., raises the possibility: wacko Jacko moves to Canada and comes under Canada's new rule of law, as it were, Sharia.
Further possibilities are available too: visit Toronto zoo and bugger the camels and asses,enjoy carnal pleasure with a chimpanzee, spend a night with Glenda the 2 ton gorilla.

he sure won't be singing 'ben' any more

There is an old Afghani song which goes
"There is a boy across the river
with a bottom like a peach,
but alas, I cannot swim"

Sounds danceable, too.

Hi.

"For you Aussies who don’t already know, Farrakhan is EVIL."

Thanks for the heads up. Personally, I already know. He came out for Australia for a tour to stir up trouble. He listened to nobody, and just pushed his own line. I thought his best moment was at Redfern: inner Sydney, with a slum area populated by Aboriginals. He was out in the street with a microphone ranting about White slumlords and their racist oppression of their Black tenants. From the tops of the buildings, the Aboriginal owners were shouting at him that no Whitefellas owned these places, they owned them. He had a great voice and the mike: he just kept shouting them down, spouting the same racially divisive fantasy.

Helping Aboriginals get a better deal in Australia is morally important, and hard and tricky. But a liar like Farrakhan doesn't care about that. He just blew through like a hate-spreading tourist.

It's surprising for me to think of Jacko in this light, but I think Farrakhan will be a bad influence on him. Farrakhan would be a negative moral influence on almost anybody, from what I saw.

For the record, though, the Nation of Islam is not affiliated with Islam, not even the Wahabbist variety usually associated with Islamic fascism. It's basically a dumbed-down version of Islam that replaces the few virtues of Islam with the ugliest vices of Afro-American supremacy, forming a religion so foul even Osama bin Laden refused to be publicly associated with it (except, of course, when the NOI provides Al-Qaeda with funding and manpower on the sly).

It's worth noting that Malcolm X left the Nation of Islam after his first exposure to true Islam, during his pilgrimmage to Mecca, and became a fiery critic of the NOI after that (which led directly to his assassination at the hands of Farrakhan's hired thugs).

Jackson knows he is going to prison. The Nation of Islam will protect Jackson in prison in exchange for millions of dollars.

"Didn't Jackson used to be a Jehovah's Witness or Seventh-Day Adventist? From the frying pan into the fire...

He was originally JW. Quick, everyone, repeat the Athanasian Creed. Once you start denying the Trinity ...!

Yeah, prisoners don't tend to be too keen on the ole' pederasts. Jackson is going to need lots of protection.

Tim, you wouldn't happen to be Allah, would you?

Independent George - Since Allah likes the Red Sox so much, I'm guessing he's in my neck of the woods (New England) or grew up around here.

I usually don't encourage suicide bombers, but...

"Didn't Jackson used to be a Jehovah's Witness or Seventh-Day Adventist?"

Based on the charges, he appears to have been a Catholic priest!

When Jermaine told him he could have another 72 virgins, he leapt at the chance.

BTW, I think his last album was his suicide bomb!

Theologically, the "Nation of Islam" is to Islam about what Mormonism is to Christianity: a collection of heretical and even blasphemous gibberish (Founder W. D. Fard was God incarnate, successor Elijah Muhammad was a New Prophet). Elijah Muhammad's son and successor Wallace repudiated these heresies and led most of the NoI to orthodox Islam. Farrakhan took over the remnant. He hasn't made many converts, but his anti-white, anti-Jewish shtick brings in the money anyhow. Ironically, ultra-purist Moslems such as Gaddafi and the Iranian ayatollahs have welcomed Farrakhan.

"Ironically, ultra-purist Moslems such as Gaddafi and the Iranian ayatollahs have welcomed Farrakhan ..."

Weeeeeellll, not being a Wahhabi hyper-Sunnite I'll let you have the Ayatollah as "ultra-orthodox Muslim" (in the same way an impartial observer could get away with calling both the Pope and Ian Paisley "ultra-orthodox Catholics"). But G/K/Qaddaffiiyy isn't, by any stretch. His Green Book is just a tract of Nasserite/ quasi-Ba'athite secular pan-Arabism, like Saddam's; for example, he casts doubt upon the historical inerrancy of the Qu'ran (apostasy, in the eyes of zealous Muslims) and, for example, switched Libya from the 360-day lunar calendar to the Gregorian 365.249-day solar calendar.

AAARGH meant to write "calling both the Pope and Ian Paisley "ultra-orthodox Christians". Apologies to all my Irish friends.
