Do you mean Michael Jackson?  He moved to Bahrain and supposedly has converted to Islam.  His brother Jermaine had converted to Islam already years before.

Hi,\nI'm glad to get the opportunity to help you understand this situation.\n\nWhat happened to you is indeed very strange, from the books offered, the itch, the sore and the whole rest ot it.\n\nThe question here is: What does that person has to do with Islam? what does his reaction has to do too? As well as his behaviour to you and the kids? \n\nI studied Islam as a subject and can tell you that you have been very unfortunate to fall on a person that showed you a wrong image of a great religion.\n\nYour case is just one that could also happen to a muslim while visiting a christian family, isn't it?\n\nIslam is nothing of what you saw and heard!\n\nIt's very unfortunate when a person without or with only a little Islamic academic background try to call people to conversion...\n\nWould you care to read the following:\n\nFr. Theodore Pulcini, a priest of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, is Assistant Professor of Religion at Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA 17013. His articles have appeared in Diakonia, The Journal of Ecumenical Studies, Church Divinity, Commonweal, and St. Vladimir's Theological Quarterly. His essay is reprinted from New Theology Review. \n\n\nMuslims now constitute a significant minority in Western countries, most notably France, Britain, Germany, Canada, and the United States. Consequently, those in the West engaged in theological discourse and pastoral work can no longer consign Islam to the outer limits of their universe of religious concerns. Islam is no longer just "over there," an exotic feature of distant cultures; it is a well-established component of our own religious landscape and deserves attention from all who work to further the Reign of God in our culture. \nHaving taught courses in Islamic civilization as part of the religious studies curriculum at both secular and church-related institutions, I can give ample testimony to the antagonistic images of Islam obtaining in, and actively perpetuated by, many Western circles. In some cases, it is alarmism that fuels the antagonism ("Muslims are taking over the world!"); in others, the indignation of post-modern Westerners who resent the very existence of a powerful religious tradition which seems to foster "unenlightened" values ("Islam is intolerant, it oppresses women, etc."). It is a situation fraught with the real possibility of bigotry and violence.\n\nAs "people of religion," we can be particularly effective in shaping religious sentiment toward Muslims in our society. We can either stoke the fires of antagonism, feeding into the dominant societal trend of "demonizing" Islam and Muslims; or we can fight those fires, challenging people to come to a well-informed, balanced appreciation of this "other" in our midst. Most of us, I assume, would affirm the desirability of the latter option. I would like to offer a few suggestions as to how that option might be realized.\n\nFirst, expose the caricatures -- both our own and those of others. Such caricatures are usually based on the assumption that Islam is monolithic and that Muslim communities are homogeneous. Both assumptions are false. Just as there are many "Christianities," there are many "Islams" and most have very little to do with "Islamism," that militant, extremist fringe of Islam which, despite its claim to "traditionalism," actually violates such perennial Islamic values as tolerance, forbearance, hospitality, and broad-mindedness. A number of excellent resources can help you in this process -- see the attached reading list. All the recommended authors are Christians who have done much to dispel the rampant misinformation concerning Islam.\n\nSecond, reflect on what underlies our tendency to caricature Islam. Many in the Christian world have thrown themselves headlong into the process of challenging the traditional shape of our society an

Good for you for sharing that...\n\nThe Mufti of Marseille quoted the same verses...\nHe was angered by the muslim community for demonstrating against the Cartoons \n\nHe said that especially Western Muslims, have benefited greatly from Free Speehc and Free Press...\n\nHe said that those manifestations where the proof that Muslims were week in their faith because they got offended for just a few cartoons of bad tastes. He also says that Criticism helps make one strong and look at himself.\n\nHe also added: That the current problem with Islam in the West and Arab countries is that there are more and more Imam that dont have enough spiritual knowledge of Islam and they are too focused on the political aspect of Islam... Such as the Imam of Danemark that provoked the whole situation...\n\nSo you are right to ask that questions.... But very very very few Muftis and Imams voice the spiritual view of Islam...Mr. Benchek. the Mufti of Marseille is a rare gem (With Balls I might say...).

he did,it's just that a small minority of muslims chose to ignore his teachings and see things there own way ,and by doing that take things to the extreme.islam is a very peaceful religion,and like with most races there's good and bad in everyone.

Not interested in Islam.

No, this is taking away a persons basic human rights to make a decision for themselves, and to be allowed to practise whichever religion they should choose.\n\nIs it any wonder that many non muslims are wary of muslims.

I think he made fatal mistakes with Islam as he related it with terrorism. I believed that Islam encourage peaceful mind and hate wars.

I left Christianity (i.e. Roman Catholicism - RC) because my RC grandparents were murdered in 2002 by their own RC sons and daughters.  Those animals were never arrested because they held influence with the RC church and the town officials where I lived in.\n\nI embraced Islam in 2004 and never regretted my decision.  I'm definitely happier now as a Muslim.\n\nPeace.

If for some reason your portaining to that mr mojo usa guy just do yourself a favor and don't worry about him. He just dosen't want to admit to the truth.He has no better things to do in his life then hate Muslims. If you see his other questions he is one of the most anti-Islamic guys I have ever seen. I've gotten to the point were instead of letting him bother me so much him I just pray he won't die from some mental diesease.

NO. It is a myth created by the liberal media outlets. Islam is a fanatic religion. I invite anyone to go to any and every arab and muslim country and conduct a poll and ask them what they think of america? what they think of the west? what they think of christians? what they think of jews? i guarantee that majority of every muslim and arab country will answer negatively. \n\nThis is not a matter of opinion, just open your eyes, and take a look at the world. Islam is not being spearheaded by a few "extremists". These extremists are the people, and they are supported by the people. So moderate islam does NOT exist. Sure there are a few muslims that are less interested in terrorism, but for the most part, they are all brainwashed, and will all share the same fate.\n\nI said, the answer is NO!

Well, I'm Christian. There are a lot of Muslims who practice Islam. There's also Catholic, Jewish, Buddhism, Hinduism, and many more.
