Daily Mail: Tony Blair’s sister-in-law has converted to Islam after having a ‘holy experience’ in Iran. Broadcaster and journalist Lauren Booth, 43 - Cherie Blair’s half-sister - said she now wears a hijab head covering whenever she leaves her home, prays five times a day and visits her local mosque ‘when I can’. She decided to become a Muslim six weeks ago after visiting the shrine of Fatima al-Masumeh in the city of Qom. ‘It was a Tuesday evening and I sat down and felt this shot of spiritual morphine, just absolute bliss and joy,’ she told The Mail on Sunday. When she returned to Britain, she decided to convert immediately. ‘Now I don’t eat pork and I read the Koran every day. I’m on page 60. I also haven’t had a drink in 45 days, the longest period in 25 years,' she said >>>

Great news
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Mon Oct 25, 2010 04:22 PM PDTI knew this Islamic thing was gonna bite the Brits in the rear. For many centuries they pushed "khorafat" on Iran and others in Middle East. Now the stuff has become a part of them. Chickens are returning home to roost: back to Britain.
I really *love* this. It could not happen to a more deserving people.
Cover your hair, sister!
by Simorgh5555 on Mon Oct 25, 2010 04:04 PM PDTCover your hair, sister! Never mind going to the shrine of Msaoumeh - try going to the streets of Tehran with your hair exposed at it is and shout at, "I am Lauren Booth, and I am a Muslim" - Let's see how far this gets you!
She's only on Page 6O! Let
by Simorgh5555 on Mon Oct 25, 2010 02:39 PM PDTShe's only on Page 6O! Let her finish the Koran and read the kill! kill! Prophet, kill! passages and the derogatroy reference to Jews and lets see what she then thinks of the religion she converted to.
Before converting to any religion you should at least read its holy text.
welcome to religion of retrograds

Stupidity needs no reasoning
by bihonar on Mon Oct 25, 2010 09:31 AM PDTReasoning is when you follow a logic to arrive at a conclusion which will decide your decision making. But stupidity need no reasoning and logic. This is the cause of a stupid religion with a stupid view of the mankind and the universe to last and even flourish for 1400 years.
See her in a year's time...there would be no sign of Islam

Way to go Ms. Booth!
by Kooshan on Sun Oct 24, 2010 11:39 PM PDTMs. Booth is the oe who started her journey from deep inside her heart out to accepting the formalities.
If Ms. Booth is enlightened, I feel so happy for her. I'm sure some will
love her and some will ridicule and try to put her down. The fact of
the matter is she is a wise lady who has traveled the world and is
politically aware of her sorroundings, unlike many of us who gets their
news from the sources that resonate with our belief.
The article says:
"Has she considered that there is not a single Muslim country where its
citizens enjoy the same measure of civil and human rights as in Western
Europe & North America?|"
I need to say that it is so naive and arrogant for us to close our eyes
on the rising tide of Muslim population. Every nation has their ups and
downs. Islamic golden era had passed few hundred years ago. When Europe
was going thru dark ages, Muslims had their time of their life. Were we
able to put down China rising? NO! We, as a matter of fact, helped China
to become a giant! .....And now we can ridicule and arrogantly bash a
once vibrant civilization (just like China was during Haan's).
My point is, it is naive to summarize Mislims as barbars, but the fact
of the matter is the civilization is finding out it's way to come out of
ashes and plat it's vitality.....AND...Ms. Boothis aware of that!
I guess it runs in the family
by Bavafa on Sun Oct 24, 2010 10:08 PM PDTWhat ever her motivation was/is, a shot of spiritual morphine or Seeghe ye akhoond shoodeh, runs in the family.
Toney Blair, the criminal puddle got a shot of spiritual morphine and became a Catholic her sister-in-law became a Muslim as if there is really much of a difference between these fanatic, brainwashing religion!!!!!
