Not "Brainwashed": American Women Who Converted To Islam Speak Out
NBC News ^ | April 26, 2013 | JoNel Aleccia

Posted on 04/26/2013 7:16:11 AM PDT by Biggirl

When an American convert to Islam was revealed as the wife of the dead Boston bombing suspect, Lauren Schreiber wasn’t surprised at what came next. Comments from former acquaintances and complete strangers immediately suggested that 24-year-old Katherine Russell, a New England doctor’s daughter, must have been coerced and controlled by her husband, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died last week in a firefight with police.

I still remember one of the alphabet network did a segment a while ago.

All the women wearing drab colored hijab, covered head to toe except their eyes, and ALL OF THEM assured the ‘woman reporter’ moooooslem women were treated very well and respect in their society.

Gave me the creeps.

It should be required for women to watch the Sally Field/Alfred Molina shocker “Not Without My Daughter” before converting to Islam to marry a Muslim man.

I do question a women’s SANITY why they would convert to Islam.

There’s a difference between stupid and crazy. Even a very stupid person may instinctively not put their hand in a roaring fire; but a crazy person will, then slowly remove their smoldering hand and complain that the fire is not hot enough.

What makes it even creepier is that there are several flavors of crazy, such as self destructive or suicidal, psychopathic, schizophrenic, paranoid, etc. And they are not necessarily exclusive, so someone might be a “Neopolitan” crazy.

I don’t see a place on this article to comment. I don’t think nbc news wants to allow comments for this article because they don’t want to hear them.

American women and the Muslim religion.

**************

Just do a little reading...

A little side-by-side study on the major tenets:
Bible v. Koran....

It's no contest as for authenticity /inspiration/ historicity...

Koran & Sharia Law:
....Leads to disfigurement, amputation, stoning of women and hanging of children, rape, brutalization, or execution of non-believers....

**********

Bible & God's Law:
...Leads to conviction of sins, repentance, forgiveness in Christ...
God's love and mercy pouring grace for all who believe, and always extending kindness, compassion, and charity to non-believers.

Plus also the Christian faith has seen great growth in the global south, which includes Africa. The Gospel of Christ FREES people.

Not surprised. They do not want to read any possible comments either.

Yes it does. Christianity is very much underestimated as to how many people follow it, to some degree.

This is why the Bible now and forever will always be the number 1 best selling all time book.

The literal meaning of Islam is submission.

The popularity of Fifty Shades of Grey shows that a lot of women fantasize about being submissive.

Well, I think it’s just plain old gullibility, rather than craziness. Most women aren’t converting to Islam on their own; they fall in love with some guy and then let themselves get conned into converting. So, they are just plain old suckers, as far as I can tell.
