Michael Jackson’s Death, a Great Tragedy
By Dr. Aamir A. Salaria

The passing away of Michael Jackson is a great tragedy indeed. He was a real legend of the music world and will remain so forever. I had the honor of meeting this great American icon and a humble human being in person, in the Middle East.
Most of what is propagated in the biased US and the Western media about his personal life is nothing but false. For sure, many people tried to take undue advantage of his wealth and when they failed, filed sham charges against him.
His legacy encompasses the maximum and the best utilization of "Equal Opportunity" by a minority person in America, which eventually paved the way for Barack Obama to be the first ever black American President in the short 234-year US history.
His greatest legacy is the endless inspiration he provided to all global minorities in general and the black and other US minority folks, including me, in particular.
May God Almighty bless his soul in peace and solace and provide his family, friends and fans the fortitude to bear this great loss. Aameen, Tsum Aameen.
