		<description>Rumors that Michael Jackson are false.  His name was definitely not changed to Mikeel...FACT.  His death certificate (on TMZ) labels his name as MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON...oh well he must of been Christian.</description>

		<description>Well, first, I don&#039;t give a rat&#039;s ass what Mr. Jackson does.  He is a pedophile, a shady business dealer and a classic &quot;weird celebrity&quot;.  I&#039;ll wager that the real reason for his conversion to Islam is on the advice of his PR people and less on any personal faith issues he may have.
That said, it only remains for Madonna to convert for the WEDDING OF THE NEW MILLENIUM! (after all, she&#039;s tried pretty much every other religion on the planet, hasn&#039;t she? including &quot;British&quot;?)</description>

		<description>I&#039;d like to know how we are &quot;exploiting&quot; him.

And since my English is apparently so poor that I misunderstand everything you&#039;ve said thus far, I have looked this up:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Exploit: to use selfishly for one&#039;s own ends.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Really...? How are we doing that? Because a few blogs chose to write about it? It makes absolutely no sense but I would like your take on why you arrived to such conclusion. Few blogs here and there don&#039;t speak for a 1 billion population or a whole religion for that matter. For crying out loud, it&#039;s Michael Jackson. When his brother converted, people also talked about it, is that such a huge deal to you?

FYI, there are no newsletters when someone signs up to our religion. You won&#039;t expect to see, &quot;Dear Michael, we represent the entire Mulsim population and would like to &lt;em&gt;WELCOME&lt;/em&gt; you to this &lt;em&gt;FANTASTIC&lt;/em&gt; path of life that we call Islam. Please, if you need anything, Skype us. We are here to help you Michael, not to exploit you, because the latter angers Kendall.&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You might then google “Islam” and “Michael Jackson” as to whether or not Islamic sites are “crowing” (again, not “crowning” about it).&lt;/blockquote&gt;Hmm... if you search for whatever word and whatever, youw ill get results. You know... thats how a search engine suppose to work... I did fey other searches..

Results 1 - 10 of about 592,000 for Christianity and Michael Jackson. (0.24 seconds)

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,470,000 for Islam and Michael Jackson. (0.21 seconds)

Results 1 - 10 of about 357,000 for Kendall and Michael Jackson. (0.08 seconds)

Ok ok so Islam and MJ has alot because of recent news so dont&#039; get all uppity but come on you and mj 357k? omgz omgz...

&lt;blockquote&gt;I would be interested to see a Jewish website crowing about anybody’s conversion to Judaism.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Results 1 - 10 of about 872,000 for Jews and Madonna. (0.24 seconds)

&lt;blockquote&gt;It MJ’s case, he is, by any reasonable measure, a deeply disturbed individual. If Muslim’s had his interest at heart they would be desirous of helping him rather than exploiting him. &lt;/blockquote&gt;So you want 1 billion people to make a joint statement about this dude now? You are more than an idiot.</description>

		<description>Kendall can you tell us what&#039;s not offensive about this remark:
&lt;blockquote&gt;I would have thought it confirms the worst people say about Islam.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Somehow, Michael Jackson&#039;s conversion and the way some Muslim bloggers wrote about it confirms the worst in Islam.

Is this not what you meant?

If not, then make yourself clear, and stop repeatedly claiming that no one here gets you.</description>

Since no one has understood my original posting, I have to admit to being obscure (though not intentionally so). It does not, however, make me an idiot.   That kind of Impairment lies elsewhere.</description>

		<description>Michael Jackson is on the news not mainly because he converted, there is a very long legal case against him and the settlement is what the media is talking about. If any famous person in the usa gets sued it is in the news, no fuss about islam there. I google &quot;michael jackson&quot; in the news. results are mostly about legal or his whereabouts.

with muslim blogging, any person, famous or not, converts to islam, always a reason to rejoice. same idea in every religion on the world. some of the most major muslim blogs did not care to address this. some little bloggers wanted to share this news and express their thoughts on this, why is this so bad? how is this confirming the worst ideas about islam? because he was disturbed from before? well, just like when a criminal in usa turns to jesus, i dont see people saying bad things about christianity. any disturbed person turns to religion for hope and answers. what religion, this is not your business. just because some religious bloggers celebrate, its not because they understand or like michael, or approve his past. even drug dealers here, they repent, become religius, to apologize for their crimes and mistakes. in usa, same thing. in israel, same thing. we here are not different from you. we get this news, we reacted. some are happy, some not caring. some think its rumor. we have bigger things to deal with usually.</description>
