Jackson 'needs to become a Muslim'
2007-01-30
Celebrity Big Brother star Jermaine Jackson hopes to convert brother Michael to Islam.
Jermaine told the BBC Asian Network that his Muslim faith helped him cope with life inside the Big Brother house.
"The Big Brother house"? Not the big house?
"If I didn't have Allah and my prayer rug, I would not have survived, and the reason why is because it kept me focused, it kept me calm," said the former Jackson Five singer, who now lives in Bahrain.
He woldn't have survived making a teevee show? Whudda delicate flower.
"Michael, I feel, needs to become a Muslim because I think it's a great protection for him from all the things that he's been attacked with, which are false. There's a strength and a protection there. I brought him a lot of books, and he reads everything and he reads a lot. I think he's probably given it serious thought because he's spent a lot of time in Bahrain. I was the reason why he had gone there because I wanted him to get out of America and just go somewhere peaceful and quiet, where people pray five times a day. It's a beautiful thing."
"And he really likes running around in a burka..."
Jermaine, who came second in the Channel 4 reality show, also denied branding Jade Goody, Jo O'Meara and Danielle Lloyd "white trash".

He said: "I didn't make that statement. I was repeating something that someone else had said and I was trying to let Shilpa know what some of the housemates felt was the reason why she was attacked. They didn't show who originally said it.

"I was raised no different from Michael and the rest of our family. We don't look down upon people because of their colour or anything. People are people to us. That's how we were raised, and I would never call anybody 'white trash' because it's just not right."

-well, it has been obvious for a while how much Jacko likes "fairy tales".

#21  I think it's surah 52:25 that promises little boys to Muhamhead's murderous islamics.

Jackson following the Pedophile for Profit makes sense. I bet the only think he can think about is children bending over 5 times a day. Trouble is that his Jesus Juice would be forbidden. But he can always fall back on Allah's Swine Sperm Beer.

#20  The only ones I recognize are Jermaine, Benedict, Leo Sayer, who did nauseating pop songs back in the 70's, and Donny Tourette, who I believe invented Tourette's Syndrome.

#19  My same thought, RJS. Dirk Benedict's the only name I recognized, besides Jermaine's.

#16  tu3031, Dirk Bennedict rocks. The original Starbuck, Face from the old A-Team. Cancer survivor. If he's anything like the characters he plays he'd be a blast to have a beer with.

#10  I dunno, he's kind of gray, with strange-looking skin... big eyes, but expressionless, kinda like a shark or a doll... no apparent nose or ears, not the kind you can easily see, anyway... no body hair... makes squeaky noises when he talks, and clearly isn't very familiar with what's considered normal life on this planet... Gawd, I think he might be an human- alien hybrid!

#8  "I was raised no different from Michael and "We don't look down upon people because of their colour or anything. People are people to us."

yeah, right:

Nov 25, 2005 - ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Tuesday broke a story about Michael Jackson that has received surprisingly little press. In a report about the pop star’s finances, as well as his relationship with financial advisors, an audiotape was played of a telephone message Jackson left for a former business associate:

JACKSON: They suck - they're like leeches. I'm so tired of it. They start out the most popular person in the world, make a lot of money, big house, cars, and everything, end up with, penniless. It is conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose.

#7  Hmmm....I like the idea of targeting high profile people for islamic conversion. Here are some others I think they ought to target:

Tom Cruise
Donald Trump
Cynthia McKinney

Mebbee they could declare a fatwa: "these peoople must convert, or DIE!"

#6  Ladies and gentleman, the cast of "Celebrity" Big Brother:

Jermaine Jackson, Danielle Lloyd, Ken Russell, Jo O'Meara, Leo Sayer, Shilpa Shetty, Carole Malone, Donny Tourette, Ian "H" Watkins, Cleo Rocos, Dirk Benedict, Jade Goody, Jack Tweed, Jackiey Budden.

With celebrities like this, who needs no-names?

#5  How about he adopt the name:

Mohammad Twinkle al-Motowni ?

#4  Michael Jackson a Muslim? Given the leanings of the original prophet, then it's the PERFECT FIT. Why not take the lead of Cassius Clay and change his name to Mohammed Jackson as well?

#3  "If I didn't have Allah and my prayer rug, I would not have survived, and the reason why is because it kept me focused, it kept me calm,

because I knew I could saw the heads off those dirty kuffars, sons of pigs and monkeys, at any time I chose, insh'allah."

There, completed that thought for ya. Or is he just in it for the grotesque sexual deviance?

#2  I brought him a lot of books, and he reads everything and he reads a lot. Under the covers with his friends.
