Michael Jackson, who recently settled down in Manama has donated a huge amount
of money, the figure was not disclosed, for building a state-of-the-art mosque
near his luxury palace in the Bahraini capital, according to his spokesman. The
proposed mosque would be designated for learning the principles and teachings of
Islam, as well as teaching of English language, for which high-standard teachers
would be brought from United States under his personal supervision, the
spokesman said.
Jackson
did so as a token of appreciation to the Bahraini people, who welcomed him and
treated him as if he was one of the citizens of their country.
Michael
Jackson has moved to reside in Manama after the long-judicial battle, which
ended up with being acquitted of the charges of child molestation.
The
court hearings were followed up by news agencies for many months, and the number
of reporters who attended and covered them was estimated at more than 2000 from
all countries in the world.
It is
noteworthy that Germain Jackson, the brother of Michael had embraced Islam at
the beginning of 1990s, and he was one of former Jackson Five band and the solo
singer Germain had felt
his brother Michael has great interest and study of Islamic books, the tolerance
of Islam and his dealing with Arab and Muslim personalities since long years.
The most prominent among those figures is Prince Al Waleed bin Talal and the
Bahraini royal family.
