Michael Jackson is going to convert to Islam. The Arabian newspaper
Khaleej Times reports that he decided to move to Bahrain with his three
children after the notorious trial in the USA.Michael Jackson

He intends to build a mosque near his new house. According to the
newspaper, he has appropriated  a round sum  for the construction. In
the mosque, the basics and principles of Islam, as well as the English
language will be taught. Michael Jackson has made a contract with
English instructors from the USA who will teach in that mosque in Bahrain.

At first it appeared as though Jackson was looking for a place in the
suburb of Berlin. But the rumors soon faded. In the end the singer
decided to move with his family to Bahrain and live there till the end
of his life. According to the Arabian newspaper Al-Sharq al-Awsat, the
residence permits are being drawn up for his family and himself. Michael
Jackson has already bought two huge villas on an artificial island,
established an account in the local bank and purchased two cars. The
singer might also have bought a palace and some ground in the vicinity
of the international airport intending to build a hotel. However, this
information is rejected by the government.

Two weeks ago, while staying in Dubai, Michael again managed to get
involved in an unpleasant incident. Wearing jeans, a T-shirt and an
Arabian kerchief he came into a lady s bathroom in the shopping centre
Ibn Batuta. His appearance frightened the Muslim women in there. When
one of them insisted on a compensation, Michael Jackson refused to pay,
saying that the reason he had done that was lack of knowledge of Arabian.

According to Jackson, while he feels much better in Bahrain, he is still
rehabilitating after the trial.

Jackson's recent song "From the bottom of my heart" is dedicated to the
victims of Katrina Hurricane. Right now the singer is busy looking for
the musicians to record the song. Meanwhile, he is working on the
charity single. The money collected from the sales will be given away to
the victims of the disaster.

However, according to the American press, Michael Jackson might face
another trial: this time he may be accused of having transported drugs
from California to Bahrain. Chris Carter, the ex-security guard of the
ranch house, accused of robbery, testified that Jackson had made an
excessive use of antidepressants, taking up to forty pills of  Skanax  a
day. According to the singer s friends, Sneddon had already known about
that before the search of the rancho in 2003, but decided to hold the
information back. And now the public prosecutor is about to accuse
Jackson in another misdeed.
