    micheal had converted to islam and his name was yusuf -
    but i suppose that does not matter to anyone at all as currently all muslims have lass rights than dogs or cats in america and thanks to the american media for not pointing out that fact in its vulgar exploitation of a tragic death .
    shame on everyone ,
    and i hope allah blesses micheal,s soul and gives him peace and harmony however they dispose his remains .
    for that is irrelevant compared to spiritual gratification .

    I believe the statement made claiming that Katherine is worried about Michaels soul is just another media lie. As Jehovah's Witnsses we do not believe there is a soul that survives after death. So I for one do not believe that statement. As I said before, she may be worried about decomposition and then there are sickos who would steel the body just for siick kicks. I believe this " Family Friend or Source " Isnt anyone with any sort of info or connections. Just another lie in the mounting lies made against Michael in his life. As for his children, I hope Katherine does get them. As Deborah Rowe never wanted any parental rights before but now that there is possible 500 million dollars at steak.. she feels she can get it if she takes those kids. She is a woeful excuse for anyones mother. At this point Bubbles the Chimp and Louis the Lama would be better parents those kids then Deborah Rowe would be. She didnt want them before and she doesnt now.. she wants money like all the other leaches!!.. Michael should have used serrogate mothers all along.. that would have prevented this kind of problem. Debbie Rowe... GET LOST and dont coam back you money grubbing leach!! Let the family take care of its own... Joe is no part of that family as he would want everyone to believe and so those children will be safe!

    Sorry misspelling.. She knows his Soul isnt ding anything...

  • Posted By: Pixidoll65 @ 07/03/2009 12:48:15 PM

    Being that his mother is one of Jehovah's Witnesses.. She knows the condition of the dead and knows his "Sould" isnt doing anything. Michael is mearly asleep in death. She also knows that when the time is right and God himself is ready he will wake Michael and many others from that sleep into a rightious new system of things free from the pains and illnesses he suffered in this system. I feel bad for her right now so many people claiming to know her and what she is thinking. If anything she is worried that his remains will start to decompose as it is summer and the body naturally does decompose after death... There would be a smell. As for public viewing... maybe they should stick to video and use the footage from his last rehersal. We dont need to see his body. He was on display enough in life... why should that be in death. Let the family have thier moment and allow them to burry their dead loved one. We are just the public who adored him and loved his music. We have no rights to seeing him in a casket. I am glad that Joe has NO say in these matters as he is a glory hounding ass who comes across as a heartless dufass who should be the dead one and not Michael. Mikes death has me very sadden as I can measure my childhood in his music. I remember seeing him and Janet on the Andy Williams show.. And she was immitating May West... it was cute and Michael just smiled at her... Very cute!! Off the Wall, Thriller, Black and White, Billy Jean, ect ect ect... All have fond memories for me. his music was my escape from a very unhappy family life... He brang me allot of joy. now he is gone and I feel as the public we should do as he once asked and " Leave Him Alone". Much love and respect to his mother,.sisters, brothers,children. As they are the ones truely feeling the loss.... Sleep well Mike... i'll see you soon!

    I am in agrrement with Mother Katherine and Janet, Michael should be eulogizied by his family and close friends, privately. He should not be viewed by the public at large This should take place before a publc memorial and many celebrations world wide. As far as his interrment, I suggest Neverland, because that is where he was his most happiest. I am not in favor of Forest Lawn. Neverland should be restored and made into an exclusicve park and resort for terminally ill children and their families. It could be aplace of enjoyment and fantasy to children in their last days . Michaels' home could be made into a museum of his most prized possessions and accomoplishments. It would be open to the public for visitation by appointment only and then at only certain times of the year. There could be a hospital and hotel exclusively for the children and their parents. A full time medicla staff and nutrionists could be on the premises around the clock to see to the needs of the children and their families. The monies generate from the sale of Mjs' present albums,etc.. could be used to foster this after all expenses and trust funds were satisfied. - What does Mother Katherine meanby" his spirit wandring throughout the earth" ?

    What does Mother Katherine Jackson mean by "cause his soul to wander" ? I am in agreement with Mother Jackson and Janet that there should not be a public viewing of MJs' body.
    And what do they mean his body isnot prepared for viewing ? He has been dead for a week now. What about body detoriation? A private , and I mean private, secluded funeralwith only family members and family close friends should be held and soon. Then a public memorial and several celebrations world- wide may be held. I also have a suggestion as to the interment of MJ. He should be interred at Neverland or take him home to Gary, Indiana. If at Neverland, that should become an exclusive playground for terminally ill children to come and enjoy their last days in comfort and fun. The home itself should be made over into a museum of some of MJs' possessions and accomplishments. There should be a bed and breakfast for the families of the patients and a full time around the clock medical staff and nutritionist to attend to the patients'needs. Hopefully the residents ofthe surrounding community will not object to this. The museum would be open to the public at certain times of the year and then by appointments only.

    Why IS Joe Jackson walking around smiling and waving to the cameras. I don't understand any of this. Why does the family put up with this? Everyone knows what he did to all of the kids, particularly the boys who performed, so NO one wants to see or hear from him, at all!

    • Posted By: runCMD @ 07/02/2009 11:05:50 PM

      It's sad to see you guys still making unfounded accusations for which you have absolutely no evidence that anything you say is true. I'm beginning to think that your slings and arrows are gross over compensation for your own misdeeds. Throwing stones to hide your own hands ? Have you ever been accused of being a pedophile ? If I were to make an accusation against you - and others came to believe it just on my word ... would that make it true ? would you then BE a pedophile ? I think the same consideration should be paid to Mr Jackson. He is dead. You have issues of your own to deal with.

      "Joe Jackson, is basically out the loop--the entire family is mortified by Joe's presence and TV appearances. His input is being ignored, according to the family friend."

  • Posted By: liliz2 @ 07/02/2009 9:49:34 PM

    I hope they don't do a public funeral. I don't want to remember Michael Jackson laying lifeless in a casket. Give him some privacy for once and last time.

  • Posted By: The Messiah @ 07/02/2009 3:16:15 PM

    The good news is this dead pedophile will never molest another child. God got even!

    • Posted By: Allen19 @ 07/02/2009 6:46:25 PM

      dont be stupid we all die, and God those not get even by us dying, you are ignorant, shame on yourself you are no body to judge only our father in heaven!

        Then why would you read and reply to the article ? There are those of us that do care and are paying attention. So - go find something useful to do and let the rest of us mourn.

    MJ???s doctor should be held responsible. He was hired to provide 24-hour care, knew the medications, even watching Michael while he slept, and he didn???t even call 911? CPR on a bed? Even the most elementary students know you can???t do CPR on a bed! Charge him criminally, the money-hungry whore didn???t care about Michael and violated his hippocratic oath.

  • Posted By: JWT9988 @ 07/02/2009 7:25:53 PM

    Can we get this circus over with?? Who gives a sh*t?? I am not glued to the TV or the internet. I want to read and hear more serious news that affects or will affect my life. He is dead, so what?? All of us is going to die. I don't like being bombared by a bunch of garbage praising a pervert!!!

  • Posted By: kenfromillinois @ 07/02/2009 3:10:17 PM

    Michael Jackson, an icon, a drug using, child molesting pedophile could be eulogized by the adulterous Jesse Jackson. How fitting. If Al Sharpton, the racist, joins JJ the people of the world will see the three biggest black perverts in the world on the same stage. With the other hot news, why not add Sandford and Bill Clinton and make this a jumbo pervert forum!

    • Posted By: Jwilson5564 @ 07/02/2009 6:20:52 PM

      I agree with you... Are we really celebrating the life of a pedophile Holy Mary Mother of Jesus what is wrong with this world. I will admit he was talented, but his bad morals out way that.... God help us all

      • Posted By: Allen19 @ 07/02/2009 6:41:35 PM

        you are the one who is sick. God forgive you.

  • Posted By: zerb30 @ 07/02/2009 4:07:33 PM

    He was my hero. Now he's gone and a piece of me is gone too. I hope they make Neverland a momorial.
    I am sure his kids will be thrusted into the tabliods and i hope and pray that they can live life to the fullest.

    • Posted By: Jwilson5564 @ 07/02/2009 6:26:21 PM

      " Hero " MJ was not a Hero here is correct discription of a Hero: 1. a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.
      2. a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal: He was a local hero when he saved the drowning child.
      3. the principal male character in a story, play, film, etc.
      4. Classical Mythology. a. a being of godlike prowess and beneficence who often came to be honored as a divinity.
      b. (in the Homeric period) a warrior-chieftain of special strength, courage, or ability.

      He was a mental case thats what he was

    I have always loved and adored Michael Jackson. My being close to his age, he was an ICON. Michael seemed to have been a wonderful and loving man. The love showed in his eyes...in the way that he dealt with his children and his mother. He will be missed. I pray that now, Michael is at peace...I pray much for his family, especially his mother, Katherine ,who reminds me much of my now deceased mother. Like my mother, Katherine appears to be a strong matriach. I trust that Michael's children will do well and prosper. My prayers and thoughts go to the Jackson Family...BE STRONG. God loves you. Peace be with you all.

  • Posted By: Jwilson5564 @ 07/02/2009 6:07:59 PM

    I will agree that he was very talented, I will also say he was a pedophile and a whole lot of strang.

  • Posted By: bonzarel @ 07/02/2009 3:42:36 PM

    Judge not let ye be judged. The mortal realm has lost an amazingly talented and generous soul. Aside from human failings that promote tablloid reporting, morbid curiosity, and continued accusations for which MJ was acquitted, we need to celebrate his music and kindness. Let him rest in peace so that his mother can be at peace, too. Bless her and her family.

    Michail Jackson was an incredibly talented artist. I have always loved his music and he could dance like no other!! He will be missed!

  • Posted By: FredWilma @ 07/02/2009 3:11:53 PM

    Those poor children, first they had to live with him, now they have to live without him...I hope someone steps up and gives them some kind of normal life.
