Michael Jackson 'becomes a Muslim and changes name to Mikaeel'
By Daily Mail Reporter

Beleaguered pop star Michael Jackson has converted to Islam and changed his name to Mikaeel, it has been claimed today.
The 50-year-old singer, who has previously been photographed wearing a traditional Arab women's veil, reportedly became a Muslim in a ceremony at a friend's house in Los Angeles.
The singer, who was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, is said to have sat on the floor and worn a small hat while an imam officiated at the home of Steve Porcaro, who composed music on his Thriller album.

The way you Mecca me feel: Michael Jackson, pictured here wearing a traditional Arab women's veil in Bahrain in 2006, is said to have become a Muslim
Artist formally known as Michael Jackson: The singer has changed his name to Mikaeel, it has been claimed
He is said to have been encouraged by Canadian songwriter David Wharnsby and Phillip Bubal, a producer, who both approached him after he appeared 'a bit down'.
A source told The Sun: 'They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had become better people after they converted. Michael soon began warming to the idea.
'An imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief.'
His brother Jermaine Friday, previously hinted Jackson was considering converting to the religion.
'When I came back from Mecca I got him a lot of books and he asked me lots of things about my religion and I told him that it's peaceful and beautiful,' said Friday, who embraced the faith in 1989.
'He read everything and he was proud of me that I found something that would give me inner strength and peace.
'He could do so much, just like I am trying to do. Michael and I and the word of God, we could do so much.'
Meanwhile, Jackson is scheduled to give evidence in person at London's High Court to defend allegations that he owes an Arab sheikh �4.7 million.
His barrister, Robert Englehart QC, told Mr Justice Sweeney today that he was withdrawing his application for Jackson to give his evidence via video link from Los Angeles because of health fears.
'He has been cleared by his medical advisers to travel in two days' time,' he told the judge.
Jackson is expected to arrive in the UK over the weekend to give his evidence on Monday afternoon. |

Wow... the perfect religion for him... he can hide his face and look normal doing it!
Also, it could be a publicity stunt because of his current lawsuit. It would be harder for arabs to view him as a symbol of American devil horribleness if he were to become a moslem. |

| An absolute tragedy of a human life. From hero to zero! He's such a caricature of himself. I hope he finds his sanity but that seems very unlikely! |

Why this is totally weird. Hard to tell where this mans destiny lays. He's a real transmorphing changer.
His Thriller and Beat It back in 1982 was just so cool. I wish he'd kept that style up. |

| He needs to find something, but I doubt Islam is gonna cut it. He has more than spiritual problems because the man is a freak on virtually every level. |
