Al-Qaeda leadership has been informed of Michael Jacksons conversion to Islam
Unconfirmed initial reports are already filtering through that Al-Qaeda deputy Ayman Zawahiri has been notified and has welcomed Michael Jackson into his faith as he 'would any sincere new adherent' and hopes that this high profile conversion will prove to be the turning point whereby millions of young Americans, already disillusioned by the economic crisis that is sapping Americas confidence will turn to the Koran for inspiration. Pakistani news services also reported the open satisfaction of other senior figures regarding the pop star's conversion. One Pakistani news source noted that 'Jackson's contoversial past should not preclude him from sincere practice of Islam or acceptance by fellow Muslims as 'the ability to repent is a key belief'.
It is claimed that the Al Qaeda leadership were already most surprised by the fact that Americans were prepared to vote in as President a candidate with some recent Muslim heritage, even if the President-elect is a practising Christian. This did not stop Ayman Al-Zawahiri referring to Obama as a ‘house negro' recently, although Malcolm X was lavishly praised during the same speech he made the rather controversial comment in. Now with this latest celebrity conversion Al-Qaeda are hopeful that the west is finally moving religiously towards Mecca.
Most sources agree that Al Qaeda is very interested in attracting disaffected African-Americans into the fold and the recent criticisms of Obama were very much in line with this aim. Obama is unlikely to solve all the problems that exist within Africa-American communities and might not be seen as acting sufficiently in the interests of fellow Black Americans by some. Many observers confirm that Jackson's conversion amidst his financial troubles is something that Al Qaeda would welcome. Interestingly Jackson is off to London today to dispute a large debt supposedly owed by him to a Bahrani prince. Perhaps his new found faith will soften the heart of his alleged creditor?
Editors note: We have recieved many emails from readers expressing disbelief that islamic leaders, albeit those of Al-Qaeda, would welcome a person to their faith with a chequered past, such as Michael Jackson (allegedly). We have been assured by Islamic associates that Islam does indeed welcome any convert into the fold as does Christianity. Christians have been converting all sorts of people, many with far greater crimes to their name than Michael Jackson, for two thousand years on the basis of the concept of Penitence. Likewise Islam adheres to the same concept. Let's respect that.
