Michael Jackson Converts to Islam

There have been several reports that Michael Jackson has converted to Islam. The Sun reports that he  wore traditional Islamic dress as he pledged his allegiance to the Koran at a friend’s home in Los Angeles.

Reports also say that Michael Jackson has changed his name to Mikaeel and that singer Kat Stevens, who has been a Muslim for many years and changed his name to Yusef Islam also attended the ceremony.

Jackson is currently involved with a lawsuit from a former friend, Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, who is suing him for not following up on a deal to give him an album and a musical.
