Tony Blair's sister-in-law Lauren Booth converts to Islam!!

[sesame]

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’.

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.

’The strange thing is that since I decided to convert I haven’t wanted to touch alcohol, and I was someone who craved a glass of wine or two at the end of a day.’

She said she hoped her conversion would help Mr Blair change his presumptions about Islam.

Cool!

Why not! All the more for Allah! Alhamduli'llah!!

Inshallah, I hope that she continues with her path in Islam. It's a beautiful religion when placed in the right context.

I thought this happened quite some time ago (when Blair was still PM)? Even so, I don't see how it's especially relevant.

Barak Obama's parents are muslims as I know, and they live in Africa and I don't think he cares about them. Folowing a certain religion is for ownself for first reason, and as long as one know that the religion he chose is right for him, nobody can convince him otherwise. Good for Cherie for choosing Islam, indeed it appeared the right path for me.

She's only on page 60? It seems you'd want to read a little more before taking the plunge, but whatever.

Iam not sure that LDS people are allowed to complain about missionary work of other faiths.

As you do the exact same thing.



@topic

You misunderstand. sesame said Islam is "good for everyone". Clearly, he is wrong in that respect, just as I would be wrong by saying the same thing about Mormonism. I believe the Mormon Church is good for those who are inclined to follow the Savior in the same way we LDS do.

Yes, good for her, if she's truly found what she is looking for.

Tony Blair cared so much he converted to Catholicism,in either case it has little meaning,people impose all sorts of things on themselves.

I can kind of relate to that; when I finally became a full Hindu, I just stopped eating beef. It wasn't deliberate or anything; I just stopped. I haven't really wanted any since.
