As most of the Tundra Tabloids’ daily readers know, the pro-Hamas stooge Lauren Booth during her stay in Gaza, helped all of us here in the pro-Israel blogosphere to prove that the Hamas run enclave isn’t facing a humanitarian crisis.
Tony Blair’s sister-in-law has converted to Islam after having a ‘holy experience’ in Iran.
Broadcaster and journalist Lauren Booth, 43 – Cherie Blair’s half-sister – said she now wears a hijab head covering whenever she leaves her home, prays five times a day and visits her local mosque ‘when I can’.
She decided to become a Muslim six weeks ago after visiting the shrine of Fatima al-Masumeh in the city of Qom.
‘It was a Tuesday evening and I sat down and felt this shot of spiritual morphine, just absolute bliss and joy,’ she told The Mail on Sunday.
When she returned to Britain, she decided to convert immediately.
‘Now I don’t eat pork and I read the Koran every day. I’m on page 60.
‘I also haven’t had a drink in 45 days, the longest period in 25 years. The strange thing is that since I decided to convert I haven’t wanted to touch alcohol, and I was someone who craved a glass of wine or two at the end of a day.’
Refusing to discount the possibility that she might wear a burka, she said: ‘Who knows where my spiritual journey will take me?’
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.
Miss Booth, who works for Press TV, the English-language Iranian news channel, has been a vocal opponent of the war in Iraq.
Oh, the 'spiritual' inner peace of not having to think for oneself!
In my view, Tony Blair is cut from the same schizophrenic cloth. He can't decide whether he hates Islamic doctrine or whether he loves the problems (and opportunities) it invariably causes.
So she's long been a fan of islam – but never read the koran? She converted to islam without having actually read the koran?! Only after converting did she pick up a copy of a book she's been a fan of for so many years – a book that will now dictate how she's to live her life. She basically signed a contract that will control her entire life without reading said contract! Is this woman insane? Legally insane I mean. As in – time to remove her kids from her custody?
