Associates of the legendary performer, Michael Jackson, who wish to remain unnamed, have confirmed to All News Web that recent rumours regarding Michael Jackson converting to Islam are in fact true. 'Michael might not have become a hard-core observer of all the precepts of the Koran but he has made a commitment to come to know the faith and be inspired by it.' the associate commented. 'He has undergone some form of ceremony. Michael has basically been a vegetarian for years and doesn't eat pork at all so the dietary rules are not a problem.'Another associate also confirmed that while rumours of Michael Jackson being at deaths door and in need of a lung transplant were wildly exaggerated, Michael is struggling with health problems. 'Michael does have health issues and his lungs are not in perfect condition' the associate commented.
'Michael does read the Koran at least once a day and is finding that it gives him massive strength and courage in dealing with the problems that life has thrown at him.' the associate, who is himself an African-American convert to Islam noted 'He has made the first baby steps into the Islamic way of life, whether he will continue on in this journey and grow in his Muslim faith remains to be seen.'
