Tony Blair's sister-in-law has converted to Islam after having what she describes as a "holy experience" during a visit to Iran.

Journalist and broadcaster Lauren Booth, 43 – Cherie Blair's sister – now wears a hijab whenever she leaves her home, prays five times a day and visits her local mosque whenever she can.

She decided to become a Muslim six weeks ago after visiting the shrine of Fatima al-Masumeh in the city of Qom.

Remember the moonies and the hare krishnas about thirty years ago? Now it’s the mostlems. If these people were adults back thirty years ago they would be converting to moonies and hare krishnas. Now islam is the flavor of the month for those who really must belong to some cult. Don’t forget the Jim Jones cult, that really ended well.

I hope her daughters will be turning 18 very soon so they can be adults free to do as they please.

These converts seem much more into the Islam than as mere cult-adherents. There’s a video posted above. Pretty disturbing, if you ask me.

Now her husband can beat her to a pulp. Would she consider that a holy experience?

Some great observations and also, islam is very ritualistic so it keeps people busy and preoccupied to keep their minds away from their problems—sort of like obsessive-complusive disorder.

Not true for everyone.

I think in this woman's case, she's just a plain idiot.

If the koran told her to hate the Eskimos she would hate them too.

She will change back ,

She may have another epiphany if you pull out a knife and say she has to have her.(ahem) private parts cut off muslim style.

Isn’t she the one who went to the Gaza Strip and was claiming everyone was starving & just like the holocaust, and then photographed at fully stocked supermarkets markets buying whatever she wanted to eat?

Another typical liberal psycho moonbat who can’t stop lying to justify her beliefs.

She even looks like there’s nobody home in her head. Idiot woman. I hope she has to lead a life of Sharia.

No Surprise!

Blair himself was Islam’s chief enabler - bombing Christian Serbs during Easter in 1999- along with his boy toy slick Bill.

He helped create the monstrosity called Kosovo - so more Zombie Mooslems can get their kicks chopping off Christian heads.

The money paragraph, sums her up nicely. She suffers from Rachel Corie disease.

“Before her awakening in Iran, she had been ‘sympathetic’ to Islam and has spent considerable time working in Palestine. ‘I was always impressed with the strength and comfort it gave,’ she said of the religion.”

She has no idea what she’s getting herself in to.
