Pop: Nation of Islam ‘Infiltrated’ Life Of Michael Jackson?
Michael Jackson’s life was “infiltrated” by the Nation of Islam, according to his former publicist.
The ‘Thriller’ singer became a devotee of the controversial ‘black power’ Islamic sect shortly after child abuse charges were brought against him in 2003 – according to publicist Stuart Backerman, who left as Jackson’s closest adviser when the group “took hold” of him.
Backerman said: “I quit because the Nation of Islam had infiltrated Michael’s world. I was the only one who was left standing at that point because Michael wasn’t in his right mind.

A lot of things have been rumored about MJ, one of them his conversion to Islam. The Daily Mail:
“An imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief.”
Last year his brother, Jermaine Friday, suggested Jackson would convert having taken an interest in Islam since Friday’s conversion in 1989.
“When I came back from Mecca I got him a lot of books and he asked me lots of things about my religion and I told him that it’s peaceful and beautiful,” said Friday.
Global Voices Online wrote more back then about Muslim bloggers reaction to his conversion.
He also pledged to build a mosque in Bahrein.
Meee? No, thanks… 
But he is not the only singer who has converted to Islam in recent years, as I wrote here.
