Wow, \n\nI'm amazed at how people can be "So led Astray"!\n\nI have started to read the Quran that my Muslim friend gave me.\n\nIt has nothing to do with God, and everything to do with Muhammed, inventing his own fairy-tale god to suit Muhammed's purposes.\n\n\nWhy would anyone want to listen to a 54 year old man,{Muhammed}, that put his sexual organ into a 9 year old girl,{Aiesha}?\n\nThat alone disqualifies Him!

My guess is that he like all men just wanted as many women as he could. But then I am not muslim so I do  not know much about him. As to him not committing adultery, he didn't have to he just married them.

Yep, sure enough is true....the following is from Wikipedia link:\n\nMichael converted to the Nation of Islam on December 17, 2003.[52] Later in 2005, because of his links with the Bahrain Royal Family, he converted to Sunni Islam.[53] After this conversion, he decided to build a mosque on land near the palace of the Bahraini royal family.[54]\n\nAfter being acquitted of the child molestation charges, Jackson relocated to the Gulf island of Bahrain, where he reportedly bought a house formerly owned by a Bahrain MP.[61] Jackson allegedly spent his time in the Gulf writing new music, including a charity single dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina entitled, "I Have This Dream". Ciara, Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly, Keyshia Cole, James Ingram, Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine, Shanice, the Reverend Shirley Caesar and The O'Jays all reportedly lent their voices to the charity song. After many delays, the single was not released, despite being announced on 13 September 2005. At the time, Jackson's spokesperson, Raymone K. Bain, said the list included Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, James Brown and Lenny Kravitz. These artists later appeared to be no longer participating.[62] One year later, the Katrina Charity Single still remains unreleased.\n\nOn March 9, 2006, California state labor officials closed the singer's Neverland Ranch and fined him $69,000 for failure to provide employment insurance. The state "stop order" bars Jackson from "using any employee labor" until he secured required workers' compensation insurance. In addition to being fined $1,000 for each of his 69 workers, Jackson is liable for up to 10 days pay for those employees who now are no longer allowed to report to Neverland for work.[68] Thirty Neverland employees have also sued Jackson for $306,000 in unpaid wages.[69]

Peace on you....He never once engaged in sex outside of marriage, nor did he ever approve of it, even though it was very common at the time. His only relationships with women were in legitimate, contractual marriages with proper witnesses according to law. His relationship to Ayesha was only that of marriage. He did not marry her the first time her father offered her hand to him in marriage. He married her only after she reached the age of puberty and could decide for herself. Their relationship is described in every detail by Ayesha herself in the most loving and respectful manner as a match truly made in heaven. Ayesha is considered as one of the highest scholars of Islam and lived out her entire life only having been married to Muhammad, peace be upon him. She never desired any other man, nor did she ever utter a single negative statement against Muhammad, peace be upon him. May Allah bless us.

Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3310:\n'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.\n\nSahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64\nNarrated 'Aisha:\nthat the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).\n\nSahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88 \nNarrated 'Ursa:\nThe Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).

There are non-Islamic accounts of Muhammad.  Go ahead, google for them.

It is NOTHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT. But yes, sadly the man.., according to the scriptures which judge men, and not my word, Muhammad is in hell. It's a shame that he refused Christ Jesus as his Savior and instead opted for the lies of Satan.

Michael Joseph Jackson (born August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana), is an American singer, dancer, songwriter, and record producer. Jackson began his career as the lead singer of Motown act The Jackson 5 in the 1960s and 1970s. After beginning a full-fledged solo career in 1979, Jackson went on to become the most successful African-American solo artist in music history, and one of the most successful popular music singers of all time. He is also known as the King of Pop. Jackson's successful career has gained him legions of fans, both devoted and obsessive. He has, however, been dogged by media fascination with his transracially changing physical appearance and what some perceive as an eccentric lifestyle, resulting in his being nicknamed Wacko Jacko.\n\nJackson is fond of children, and, apart from having his own, he has had friendships with a number of other children, ranging from disadvantaged children to child celebrities. He has invited many groups of children to his ranch and has sponsored a variety of charitable activities. However, he has also repeatedly been accused of child molestation. In a 2005 trial for alleged child molestation and other offenses in Santa Maria, California, Jackson denied all charges, and was found not guilty of all charges on June 13, 2005.\n\nJackson has received numerous music industry awards including 18 Grammys. He has sold more than 200 million records worldwide as a solo artist and another estimated 100 million records with The Jackson 5. His Thriller video is considered the greatest music video of all time and a large step forward in artistic quality for music videos. MTV and Rolling Stone magazine in a list compiled in 2000 named four of his songs ("Billie Jean" #5, The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" #9, "Beat It" #22, and "Rock with You" #82) among the 100 greatest pop songs of all time. [1] (http://www.twin-music.com/lists/rsmtvtop100.html)\n\nHis hit album Thriller is the biggest-selling album of all time worldwide with over 58 million copies sold. The album is also the best-selling album containing all-original material in terms of domestic US sales--27 million copies sold. It is second to The Eagles' greatest hits collection Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975), which has sold 28 million copies.\n\n\nPersonal background\n \nThe cover to Michael Jackson's Thriller: Special EditionJackson was born the seventh of nine children in Gary, Indiana to Joseph Jackson and Katherine Jackson. The entire family--including older siblings Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, LaToya, and Marlon, and younger siblings Randy and Janet--lived in a tiny two-bedroom house, and Jackson's father Joseph Jackson earned a meager living working in a steel mill. Jackson and his sister LaToya both claimed that their father was cruel and physically abusive to his children. Jackson broke down and wept during a television interview when asked about this, and said that even as an adult just meeting his father often made him physically ill.\n\nAt the behest of their mother Katherine but against Joseph's wishes, the Jackson children were raised as Jehovah's Witnesses and practiced door-to-door evangelization. Jackson continued to do so after becoming famous, but then in disguise. His career and flamboyant style led to friction with congregation elders. At one point, his sister LaToya was shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses, and in 1987, he formally left the religion.\n\nDue to Joseph Jackson's strict rules, the Jackson children were kept locked in their house while he worked the night shift. However, the children would sneak out of the house to their neighbors where they practiced singing and playing music. Eventually, Jackson found out about their musical abilities and decided to capitalize upon it in order to leave Gary for California. Michael Jackson later attended and graduated from Montclair College Preparatory School.\n\n \nA map of Jackson's Neverland R

By Oct 15th, he was 13-months-old. So, he was born in September 2005.\n\nhttp://www.thisislondon.co.uk/showbiz/article-23370875-details/Madonna's+African+adoption+may+be+wrecked+unless+she+moves+to+Malawi+for+18+months/article.do

He married a girl (I think her name was Aisha) at six and consummated the marriage at 9. Because Muhammod did this, some Muslim men practice this today. \n\nThis should be condemned. A child's body is not ready for sex at that age. Poor little girl.

No, he did not convert to Islam.  This is a rumour that has been going around for years now and it has been disclaimed on several websites who have verified it by either speaking with Mr. Armstrong or his secretary.\n\nQuote [Zafar Bangash]:\n"The obsession with celebrities is not new. The most fantastic story was spun around Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon, beginning in early 1983. We at Crescent International received phone-calls and letters from Muslims around the world inquirying about Armstrong's conversion. The story was imaginative and rather fascinating: after returning from his moon journey in July 1969, Armstrong went on a world tour. It was claimed that when he arrived in Cairo, the Egyptian capital, he heard the adhan being called out. Intrigued by the sound, he inquired about it and was told that this was the Muslim call to prayer. He is reported to have said that he had heard the same sound when he landed on the moon. This led him to embrace Islam! When this story reached fever pitch, and we were inundated with calls and letters from around the world, we contacted Armstrong's office in Ohio. This writer personally spoke to his secretary, who revealed that although Mr Armstrong had great respect for Islam, he had not become a Muslim and that the adhan story was pure fiction. She also said that the many calls and letters from Muslims from different parts of the world had intrigued her. She in fact offered to send a letter confirming our conversation and even requested that we publicise the facts to put the affair to rest.\n\nArmstrong's secretary did write to us confirming that her boss had not embraced Islam. This, however, was not enough for some Muslims. Later still, some journalists arranged a conference call through the US embassy in Delhi to talk to Neil Armstrong personally and to hear from the horse's mouth, so to speak, that he had not become a Muslim. Only then did the story come to some sort of an end, perhaps much to the disappointment of the hero-worshipping Muslims."

This is a personal response, not a cut and paste, as I hope you will read the full reply.\n\nFirstly, 'Aisha (peace be upon her) was an adult when the marriage was consummated, though she entered into the Prophet's (peace be upon him) house several years before consummation. Her young age distresses many people today, and given the current climate, it is understandable why.\n\nHowever, I ask you a question, who is your frame of reference when you think of a nine year old? Think about this carefully. Have you ever had the experience of meeting a nine year old from Mauritania? Where individuals in their teens are judges and there is no adolescence?\n\nIt should be noted that adolescence is an artificial period that has been injected into the lives of our youth due to the current education system (you can read The Disappearance of Childhood by Neil Postman if you would like further details on this). The reality is that once individuals are pubescent, they are adults. If they act like children, then it is due to their upbringing and social environment.\n\nA key feature of Arabia fifteen hundred years ago is that they were an oral_ culture, and I wonder whether the neurologists you mention have ever met such an individual. They would develop a deep understanding and eloquence in language at a very young age – are you aware of the affect that language has on maturity? They would memorize massive amounts of information (thousands upon thousands of lines of poetry) at a very young age. Did you know that memorizing in youth actually creates more synapses in the brain? The youth of Arabia fifteen hundred years ago fought in battles, got married and took care of their families in their teens. This is historical reality, and was a norm of that society.\n\nTo respond to the statement that doctors say that the organs are not developed – then how is it that the youngest woman to conceive was only five years old? (Such relations are prohibited in Islam as the youngest a woman is considered to be an adult is nine.)\n\nIf you study the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) you will see the wisdom in the marriage. 'Aisha (peace be upon her) narrates over two thousand Prophetic traditions – second only to Abu Hurayra (peace be upon him). Of the one hundred thousand plus companions of the Prophet, she was from the less than ten that issued legal verdicts (Fatwa). She would question the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in a way that other people would not, and because of this, we have gained greater understanding of verses of the Qur'an.\n\nTo respond to the various accusations that are leveled against the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), remember that his first wife was twenty five years older than him, and every wife after 'Aisha (peace be upon her) was a widow.\n\nYou may contend that only someone that is eighteen (as an example) should get married. I ask why? If your answer is related to maturity, and I am pretty certain that it will be, then what happens if  maturity is found in some that is fifteen (or younger) – should they be allowed to get married? If the answer is no, then your problem with the marriage lies with the taboos of your society, and not because you think that a nine year old can't make any decisions for themselves.

Yes, escpecially if you had to share a room with like 5 people (siblings) young and old. Look at Michael Jackson, he was rooming with his brothers who always had sex with lots of girls, with him in the room watching. DOn't you think he was SOO glad to get out of there and build his own amusement park house thingy. "Weeeeeeee!" says Michael Jackson. lol

M Jackson is a Mormon. Oh wait that's wrong.\nHe was raised JW (Jehovah's Witness).\n\nBut it has been rumored that he was raising money for scientology.\n\nWho could guess what his faith is? Maybe, like Whitney, he believes the 'children are the future'?
