MR. ADNAN OKTAR'S COMMENTS ABOUT TALKS ON MICHAEL JACKSON'S BECOMING MUSLIM BEFORE HE DIED

PRESENTER: "Adnan Bey, I am watching you from Germany. I am curious about your opinions regarding Michael Jackson. The other day his brother said, referring to Michael Jackson, 'had he not died, he would have become a Muslim. That was apparent from his life and behavior'.

Reports stating that Michael Jackson was a Muslim, were already circulating. Do you think that it is possible that he had already converted to Islam but had concealed it?" Zafer Alyılmaz.

ADNAN OKTAR: Michael Jackson, yes, normally there is no need for his brother to issue such a statement. He was a regular Muslim. He was someone who travelled in Muslim countries and made researches and talked to people there. Especially in his last days, after he had revealed his behavior and made it felt that he had become a Muslim, a counter-attack had been developed against him. The false accusations and other events began.

The only reason for that was that, it was secretly known that he was a Muslim, although he never revealed that. Even so the intelligence agencies were informed about him. For that reason before he had announced his being a Muslim, they wanted to bring him down. And, as you already know, they eventually assassinated that young fellow.

And that was grave cruelty. I mean, he did not die a normal death. He was murdered. What went on behind the scenes needs to be carefully investigated. The only reason is that he was a Muslim. That is the reason for the anger and hatred towards him. They first plotted against him, a conspiracy, but that did not work out. Then they assassinated him, just when he was about to announce he was a Muslim. He was getting prepared to do so and that incident happened.
