Michael Jackson is now a Muslim
The Amboy Times: Michael Jackson converts to Islam
Pop singer Michael Jackson has converted to Islam and changed his name to Mikaeel.
The 50-year-old star pledged his allegiance to the Koran in a ceremony at a friend’s mansion in Los Angeles, the Sun reported.
Jackson sat on the floor wearing a tiny hat after an Imam was summoned to officiate — days before the singer is due to appear at London’s High Court where he is being sued by an Arab Sheikh, the paper said.
Just go over to The Amboy Times and read it all… Lord, this man is even more foolish than I thought… Or not?

Unholly alliance: Somali pirates ally with Islamists
BBC NEWS | Special Reports | Pirates ‘working with Islamists’:
# Islamists have used the pirates to bring in arms shipments and foreign fighters, providing weapons and training in their use in return. They also help with bases from which the pirates operate
# Hardliners, known as the Shabab, now have a degree of control over several pirate groups and provide operating funds and specialist weapons in return for a share of the ransoms being paid to free the ships and crew
# As many as 2,500 young Somalis have been trained by the Shabab at points all along the Somali coast
# The Islamists are using the pirates to train their own forces in naval tactics so that they can provide protection for arms being smuggled in Somalia from Eritrea.
According to Phastidio.net, Somali pirates are in talks to buy Citigroup!! (Ehh, no, this was just a joke!!! 😆 )
