Lauren Booth conversion to Islam

If many of you do not know who Lauren Booth is, well she is the sister-in-law of Tony Blair. She is a journalist and has written for the Daily Mail newspaper..She has two children

In October 23, 2010 she converted to Islam live on Islam Channel during an event called the Global Peace and Unity event, which is held every year in London.

When these new converts speak about their conversion to Islam it really touches your heart and makes you realise that we are born Muslims and yet we do not have as much love and respect for our faith. Isn't that quite shameful? She is newly converted and talks about her hate for alcohol and automatically she feels like alcohol doesn't seem right. She has started wearing the scarf herself and without anybody telling her to, from her own choice. I was listening to her interview and she also said that when she told her children that she is going to convert to Islam. They went and made an interview for her. They asked her a few questions, which were.....

1) Will you drink alcohol?? She said I will never drink alcohol...the kids said yeaaa in hapiness
2) Will you smoke? She said I am thinking of quitting smoking....again kids were pleased
3) Will you wear low cut dresses or tops? She said do you think Muslims would. Then her kids told her well you have been and we didn't like it. Then they said we love Islam. And her 7 year old daughter wakes up at 6am and prays.

As most people claim Islam is oppressive towards women and do not give women their rights. Women still converting to Islam is a clear sign that this is not the case and why would anyone want to give up their free life, able to dress how they want, drink what they want and have no rules put on them...and instead accept Islam which has rules and you are submitting to the will of Allah rather than the will of your desires!

If you wanna know more about her conversion watch it on youtube....
