Converts  vs:  Born Muslims - You should guess who are those  -   running forward with necks outstretched, their heads uplifted, their gaze returning not towards them, and their hearts a (gaping) void!- &   those - Righteous :   Allah will establish in strength those who believe, with the word that stands firm, in this world and in the Hereafter; but Allah will leave, to stray, those who do wrong: Allah doeth what He willeth.   There will come  a time that the converts would teach the BMs. -------Original Message-------   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 01/18/06 14:03:22 To: islamcity@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [IslamCity] Dialog : Michael Jackson Considering Conversion to I slam   Dear Brother,   Assalaamu Alaikum,   Don't you know that when some one accepts Islam, whatever sins he has committed before that will be forgiven by Allah Ta'ala.  So let us accept him as a Muslim, if has pronounced Shahada and leave him at that without try to judge him ourselves.   Jiffry/Sri Lanka ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: islamcity@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, January 13, 2006 1:50 AM Subject: [IslamCity] Dialog : Michael Jackson Considering Conversion to I slam ASA,  Man yall sho can be cold on poor  ole mike, haha.  Of course I too condemn what he has admitted, that as a grown azz man, he was sleeping in bed with other peoples children overnight.  However, I have to respect the court's decision that he was not proven guilty of molesting any of them.  And as a Muslim, we are taught to give people the benefit of the doubt.  So I am hoping Mike has learned his lesson, and that his interest in converting to Islam is sincere, and based on his true belief that Allah is the One and Only God, and that Prophet Muhammad is his servant and messenger.  Until he does something that is inconsistent with Islamic principle, I can only admire him for turning his focus to the religious realm.  I am not predicting that he is going to do wrong, or judge his motives and/or intentions, because those can not be proved or defended.  I wll observe reports on his behavior, to witness whether they are within or outside of the boundaries of Islamic principle.   Peace, Brother Curtis   "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ASA All, if MJ is sincere, then who am I to question it? But since I DON"T KNOW, then I question it!   I'm not at all impressed nor surprised at his comments, if he did say them. This is the same m/o that he used in a previous instance when he got into trouble w/Sony records. He teams up w/ Al Sharpton [I guess thinking he's getting in touch with tha brotha's] and levies charges of racism against Tony Mattola [Pres. Sony] I'm not saying that Tony's an alright guy, but he was married to Mariah Carey. Now, this flap about Jews. It is amazing to me that he seems to think [if he indeed said these comments] to be Muslim, there is an imperative to be anti-Jew. It seems to me that the pattern is to try to "get in" with anyone he thinks will protect him and say what he thinks they want to hear to gain acceptance. MJ, if you want to build a masjid in the Middle East [because we all know there are too many of them in the US and not enough masajid there :)], then go ahead. Maybe [unsuspecting] parents will send their boys there and we can compete with the Catholic Church in scandals. Yeah, that would be good. Something to think about. Walijan Hadid Yahoo!
