Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s sister-in-law, Lauren Booth, has converted to Islam after a trip to Iran. The 43-year-old broadcast journalist, who works for Iran’s English-language Press TV, said she had a “holy experience” while visiting the Fatima al-Masumeh shrine in the city of Qom, a “shot of spiritual morphine.” ') Upon her return to Britain, she told British publication The Mail in an interview published Sunday that she decided to immediately convert to Islam. “Now I don’t eat pork and I read the Koran every day.

I hope she likes the part of Islam that allows her husband to beat her. He’s probably looking forward to it...

I wonder how Tony Blair feels about this. Were this my sister, I would be in “alarm overload” by now.

Maybe she should have joined A.A instead.

Was it the oppression that drew her in? Or perhaps she witnessed a stoning and saw the light?

Nope. More than likely, she was influenced by a demon of Satan that influenced her with ‘a strong delusion’.

She’ll find out the truth....someday.

Everywhere you look there’s pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness. What color ribbons are there for finding a cure for STUPID?!

Right after her Imam convinces her it's Allah's will for her to blow up a palace or something.....

shot of spiritual morphine.

Morphine basically deadens the senses, doesn't it?

So, is this a good thing, sister?
