Didn't MJ convert to Islam? Should he be addressed as Mikaeel or Michael?
Hi!
Many believe Michael Jackson converted to Islam some time back and changed his name from MICHAEL to MIKAEEL. If that's true, then he should have been addressed as 'Mikaeel' instead of 'Michael' to comply with his wishes. What do you say?

RIP, Mikaeel Jackson! 
Leave him alone in his death without controversies.
He would be remembered for him music , performances for ever not religion . His music is the religion. Fan across the world , irrespective of nationality , religion , caste , creed follow his music religion. Thats wat matters.
RIP MJ !
Thnx for your views guy! My intentions are never to put MJ into any controversy, even after his death. I guess he had enough when he was alive.
All I mean is whether we should address him as he desired during his last few months, i.e., Mikaeel.
No where he mentioned officially that he wished to be called by that name .. and the fact he converted is also not officially declared by himself either... And the promos and the conference he had for his world tour mentioned his name as Michael Jackson and not Mikaeel Jackson. So that would answer your topic.
Anyways as i said , he would himself if alive be wished to be remembered for his music and not for any other controversies ..
There is no fight and there is no doubt that he would be remembered for his work and not his name.
The only point left to be discussed is if he converted to Islam by his own desire then why are we not complying with his desire. Why are we not calling him Mikaeel if he himself changed his name by his consent and in complete consciousness?
