Samaneh: Has Michael Become a Muslim?
Has Michael Become a Muslim?
For some time now there has been a rumor going around that Michael has become a Muslim, but this matter has not yet been confirmed or denied by Michael himself.
Michael’s bodyguards, when he arrived at court sessions, were part of an Islamic group. However, in one of the court sessions, hours before the court hearing, Michael attended a church to perform charitable acts and pray. In any case, by examining these issues, perhaps we cannot understand anything with certainty.

In the past, Michael followed the Jehovah\'s Witnesses faith, which is in fact a branch of Christianity, and his mother also follows this faith. According to the rules of this religion’s followers, certain celebrations are not considered desirable, and for this reason Michael, until a few years ago, never had a birthday party or Christmas. Now we don’t know what ideology Michael follows. But in any case, Michael has always said that his belief in God is one of his most fundamental beliefs. He says: "I believe in the Bible, and I try to follow the path of the Bible. I know I am not a perfect person. I’m not trying to make myself into an angel, because I’m not an angel; at the same time, I’m not the devil either. I try to be as good as I can, and I try to do what I think is right. That’s it. And I believe in God. I pray every night. I don’t just pray at night. Whenever I see something beautiful, I say, Oh God, how beautiful it is! I love beauty."
In early February 2006, when the media reported the rumor about Michael building a mosque, Michael’s spokesperson denied it. But nothing was said about Michael’s belief in Islam.
