Earlier today Jermaine Jackson gave a press conference addressing the few known details surrounding his brother Michael's death. At the end of his emotional speech he says, "May Allah be with you Michael, always."
Interestingly enough, many media outlets, including The New York Times and ABC News Australia are misquoting this expression of faith.
The New York Times claims the quote was, "We all loved being with you Michael, always" whereas ABC News Australia says it was, "'May our love be with you always, brother."
Michael Jackson reportedly converted to Islam in late 2008 after he took the shahada, or oath of Islamic faith, in Los Angeles at a friend's home. He had been raised a Jehovah's Witness--which he spoke about in depth in an essay he wrote for Beliefnet in 2000. Jermaine became a Muslim in 1989.
Check out the video of the press conference. What do you hear him say?

Whatever Jermaine (or any other of the jackson's) say is a complete JOKE all nonsense about how close they are as a family. I mean they all should just shut up already. Michael is the only thing they have to "brag" about. Jermaine speaks with such a phony phony tone in his voice it's sickening! All they are doing is making fools of themselves, and so into denial how Michael DID NOT WANT TO BE BLACK. Altho it seems like all black people entirely ignore this, making themselves look stupid. Just law low blackones, you'll project a far better impression.
Why is the fact that michael jackson is a muslim even an issue? i guess because people are so ignorant just how many people are muslim. Wake up america, ah ya, there are a whole lotta NON CHRISTIANS in this country/world.
If MJ converted to islam it is a blessing for him,he will be luckiest person.I wish 1OOpy try to know a little bit of ISLAM before saying something stupid.
Why is it such a shock to everyone that Michael converted to Islam. Islam means peace and wasn't Michael trying to find peace. Well by converting to Islam he found it. The other thing is that when the slaves were brought to America they were not Christians. They were Muslims. If you do not believe me look at the movie Roots. Watch what
Kunta Kinta is saying on the ship. He is saying "Allah Uh Akbar" This means God is the greatest in Arabic. Black Americans don't continue to be fooled by the propaganda. Those slave masters beat your religion out of you just like they beat your names and heritage out of you. Do some research and find out who you really are. The American Black man was made, not born! Assalam Alaikim!
the luciferians created the popularity of michael jackson,and then michael of late had begun to become non compliant with these sub human skunks,so they trumped up charges and then a period of indecision and then very probably a reversion to the islamic faith which was a definite no ,no for the luciferians and a elimination was the only route for the soul sellers...like princess diana ...it seems michael paid the price at the hands of the skunks
