Michael's spiritual quest leads him right back to where he began.Rumor has it Michael Jackson will soon convert to Islam if he listens to big brother Jermaine. Taking responsibility for Michael's decision to flee the U.S. for Bahrain after being acquitted on child molestation charges, the star of this past season of "Celebrity Big Brother" said this week, "I was the reason why he [Michael] had gone there [Bahrain] because I wanted him to get out of America and just go somewhere it's peaceful and quiet and people pray five times a day which is beautiful."
In the spirit of Islam, Jermaine's heartfelt advice, and all things wacko, Israellycool has drafted a list of traits Jackson shares with Islamic fundamentalists.
1) Islamic fundamentalists blame the Jooos...so does Michael.2) Islamic fundamentalists have a thing for veils ..so does Michael.
3) Islamic fundamentalists are not too fond of monkeys... neither is Michael.
4) Islamic fundamentalists are into self-mutilation..so is Michael.
5) Islamic fundamentalists like to hang people...so does Michael.

There's a world of difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalism. Maybe I'm uninformed, but I'm pretty sure Jermaine Jackson is not a member of Hezbollah.

You are the ignorant!
Izzy, take it easy, and read The Qur'ān first.

Are you implying that Islamic fundamentalism is the true expression of Islam, as described in the Qur'an? Even so, there are certainly plenty of Muslims in the world today who are not fundamentalists.
The way I understand "fundamentalist" (and Wikipedia backs me up here), it describes someone who thinks that most of his co-religionists aren't religious enough. In other words, you can't even HAVE a fundamentalist Muslim (or Protestant, or Jew, or Hindu) until you have a bunch of not-religious-enough Muslims (or Protestants, Jews, or Hindus.)
So the fact that the phrase "fundamentalist Islam" even exists means that there are non-fundamentalist Muslims out there. And I think it's a safe bet Jermain Jackson is one of them.

Umm, I think that Jermaine is actually a member of the Nation of Islam. So not necessarily a fundamentalist, but kind of wacky nonetheless.
As an aside, he also named one of his sons Jermajesty.

His views on women, for one thing, are pretty hard to take. (I bet Janet really appreciated being told that she'd be better off as a "well-protected flower.")
Anon 2, do you happen to know if he's ever expressed any opinions about the Jews?

The Qur'ān divides the world to 2, Muslim and the enemy, and the great ambition is to make the Islam the only religion in the world.

Heard it before, not interested. There are tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of peaceful, awesome Muslims. Face it, religious people are usually shitty at their religion anyway. Waging war on everybody who isn't your religion is just too damn hard- for Christians, for Muslims, for Jews.

You remind me of a South Park episode where everyone stuck their head in the ground, as a solution. This hippy shit of yours is not valid when millions of Muslims cheer to every successful suicide bomber.

I think we might be debating two different things here. Regardless of what it says in the Qur'an, Muslims differ in their level of observance. So it's simply wrong to suggest that if someone is converting to Islam, then they'll immediately become a fundamentalist.

Well Izzy, i don't think it's wrong to suggest that, in fact, i belive that is what happens all the time.

Hey, I enjoy South Park's humour (mostly the first two seasons) as much as anyone, but if you get your socio-political analysis from a fart-joke cartoon, you really should read more, and also get to know some Muslims personally.

As long as you say you like south park...
By the way, most likely i know more Muslims then you do, but it's ok right? all they want is peace and love... may be you should read some more.

It's not the Muslims that are the problem, it's you, you little prag. Jesus, give me a jihad over this nonsense.

That's it ha? you can't win intellectually so you call Jesus? To this I can only say one thing, and it's in Yiddish (it's a Jewish language if you don't know): Kish mein touches und patch bien!
