In my life, I've known three female converts to Islam (one Irish, the other two white Americans). In their cases, they did it to make their Muslim-by-birth husbands happy. I understand that this is true of many female Brits who convert as well. It will be interesting to see how this phenomenom plays out as the Islamic population grows and intermarriage becomes more common.
It is no myth: There are now more practicing Muslims than Anglicans in the London area.
If they wanted God and traditions, they should have become Traditionalist Anglicans or Catholics. Unfortunately, having been taught to hate Britain and the West and to revere foreign cultures, they seek enlightenment and trancedence elsewhere.
