You have been gone all this time and when you decide to post something you post this? Jesus man jesus.

Long time no see, Drug! How ya been?

Pretty good, more or less..I had to study for a coupla exams, and since during my stay in North Dakota I've been on the internet for whole days at a time, I decided I should cut it down and live with as little of it as I could for a couple of months..that's why I haven't been here for a while

Somehow this doesn't amaze me at all. Jackson does the most random things and this goes right up there with the list of scarved children etc.

haha, yeah... well he was a black man once and ended up looking like a white version of Diana Ross.

LOL @ title. That's by far the most random thing I've seen you post Drug_Tito . Apparently he digs Arab kids now.

quote:

The singer said he decided to convert to Islam because he is convinced it is the closest religion to his personal beliefs.

So, is Islam tolerant with people who are suspected to "sleep with children in the same bed" ?

quote:

Jackson also noted he intends to soon move all his assets and his studio from the U.S. to Bahrain, and expressed his hope to be rid of various legal troubles and enjoy the kind of freedom he says he does not have in America.

Bingo !!

Not just any internet, I was there on a whooping 56k!

On a side note..what I found fascinating in ND is how they think that they're really progressive when compared to the rest of the world just because they're a part of the US. Granted there are worse places to live in, but it does get annoying when people there who haven't seen anything bigger than a 7 floor building start explaining you how a telephone works...

I think this is a popular thing in the entertainment industry.

Madonna was Catholic, now she practices Kabbalah, she even picked up an English accent for a while.

Speaking of Kabbalah, he's an interesting paragraph on their view of sex from wikipedia.

quote:

It is not recommended that men masturbate, as the sperm are abandoned souls that become demons. When a woman's insides come into contact with a man's sperm, they are coming into contact with the essence of their energy and are affected by this for several years. The man should not orgasm before the woman, as it injects selfishness into the act of love making. A couple should not engage in sex with the woman positioned above the man, as she is then drawing energies into herself from below, instead of above. The most Light is derived from sex that occurs in the early AM of Saturday morning.

Back to the topic, apparently there has been an increase in the black population converting to Islam recently.

I love North Dakota, I go there every summer! I had to do business work and needed internets, so I used the 56k (SLUGGISH). When I was talking to the motel manager, she said with a big smile on her face, "You should have come next week, because we'll have CABLE!" It was hilarious!

MUSLIM CONVERTS IN GERMANY Angst-Ridden Germans Look for Answers -- And Find Them in the Koran By Lutz Ackermann January 18, 2007 "The number of Germans who have converted to Islam has increased fourfold within one year -- despite the negative perception of Islam among the general public." In terms of his appearance, Kai L�hr seems out of place. L�hr, who is kneeling between bearded men in white robes and bowing in the direction of Mecca, is clean-shaven and wearing jeans and a gray jacket. He might pass as a member of the Christian congregation next door, sent here to cultivate inter-faith dialogue. But he clearly knows the Islamic prayer ritual too well for that to be the case. He bends over and prays in Arabic: "Allah listens to him who praises Him. Our Lord, to You is due all praise." L�hr bends over, stands up again, takes another bow -- up and down, 33 times. Kai L�hr, a practising doctor, converted to Islam with his wife two and a half years ago. Since then their names have been Kai Ali Rashid and Katrin Aisha L�hr. The 43-year-old regularly attends Friday prayers in the courtyard mosque in Frechen, near Cologne, where he prays together with Moroccans, Palestinians and two other German converts -- a former boxer and an engineer. "You'll meet a few German-born Muslims in any mosque these days," says L�hr. A soon-to-be-published study on Islamic life in Germany confirms the Cologne doctor's impression. The study sheds light on a phenomenon that may seem surprising given the image of Islam in Germany, where the religion is often associated with terrorism, forced marriages and honor killings: In Germany, some 4,000 people converted to Islam between July 2004 and June 2005. The study, which was financed by the Interior Ministry and carried out by the Soest-based Muslim institute Islam Archive Germany, reveals that the number of converts increased four-fold in comparison to the previous year. The figure of 4,000 conversions means the usual explanations for why Germans convert are no longer sufficient. The annual number of converts remained constant -- at about 300 -- until three years ago. The converts were mainly women "who married a Muslim partner," Muhammad Salim Abdullah from the Islam Archive points out. Today, people are increasingly converting "of their own free will," he says, adding that the converts still include many women, but also plenty of university graduates -- middle-class citizens like Kai L�hr. Baptized and raised as a Christian, L�hr studied at university and then opened a general medical practice with an additional specialization in naturopathic medicine. His income was good, he married Katrin, a professional dancer, and they moved into a loft apartment together. However, at some stage the couple realized something was missing. "When critically-ill people come into my practice after already having been sent from pillar to post, it makes you despair sometimes," L�hr says. He developed an interest in Christianity, Buddhism and the Dalai Lama. But he found no answers. "People want to be different." L�hr's conversion process seems typical. Many converts were originally practising Christians who began having doubts about their religion at some point, says Mohammed Herzog, a Berlin imam who used to be a Protestant minister until he converted to Islam in 1979. The number of German-speaking converts in his mosque has also risen noticeably, Herzog says. Some 10 years ago, the annual number of converts was about 50 -- now it is double that. "Only rarely do the converts include people who were complete atheists before," Herzog says. Monika Wohlrab-Sahr, a sociologist of religion, has investigated converts in Germany and in the United States. She says the "overcoming of a personal crisis" is often a prime motive, frequently in combination with a search for the Other: "People want to be different," she says. While fundamentalist Christianty also offers these possibilities, Islam allows a person to stand out from the crowd to a greater degree, in Wohlrab-Sahr's opinion. Moreover, Islam has become a perennial theme in the media thanks to today's frequent debates on Muslims. "Islam is more visible as a genuine alternative," Wohlrab-Sahr says. It's hard to find a common denominator for what exactly makes Islam so attractive to people from a Christian background. Salim Abdullah speaks of "defiant reactions" in the face of the constant criticism brought against Islam, although he's also familiar with converts who appreciate the "clear rules for behavior" provided by the Koran. L�hr, who always carries a prayer mat in the trunk of his Alfa Romeo GT, laments the "decline in values" that Western society, in his view, has suffered: "In Islam, values still count for something," he says.

So there are reasons may b according to lack of behaviours in societes or investigate really about wat's the Islam

I bet if he fudges up over there well I don't know.
Bahrain is fairly progressist but I would imagine they still live under some of the concepts of Islamic law

I checked on wikipedia apparently he already lived over there in 2005/2006.
But if he is escaping the United States because of his legal troubles he could get burnt so easilly. I can just see something going wrong in his plan.


DrUg_Tit0 I spent some time in South Dakota back in 98 or so. It was interesting that the dialup I was using in the middle of nowhere was slower than the dialup I had back home. gah
