Tony Blair’s sister-in-law has converted to Islam
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.
“It was a Tuesday evening and I sat down and felt this shot of spiritual morphine, just absolute bliss and joy,” she said in an interview today.
When she returned to Britain, she decided to convert immediately.
Booth – who works for Press TV, the English-language Iranian news channel – has stopped eating pork and reads the Qur’an every day. She is currently on page 60.
Booth has stopped drinking alcohol and says she has not wanted to drink since converting.
Before her spiritual awakening in Iran, she had been “sympathetic” to Islam and has spent considerable time working in Palestine, she said, adding that she hoped her conversion would help Blair change his presumptions about Islam.
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,’ she said.
‘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.
In August 2008 she travelled to Gaza by ship from Cyprus, along with 46 other activists, to highlight Israel’s blockade of the territory.
She was subsequently refused entry into both Israel and Egypt.
She said she hoped her conversion would help Mr Blair change his presumptions about Islam.
The men, women and children around me withstood a day of no water and no food (it’s called Ramadan, Tony, it’s a fast),’ Booth wrote.
‘Coping with hunger and thirst in the hundred degrees heat, as if it were nothing. They can withstand deprivation in the Muslim world.
‘Here in Iran they feel proud to suffer in order to express solidarity with the people of Palestine. It’s kind of like the way you express solidarity with America only without illegal chemical weapons and a million civilian deaths.’
She adds: ‘Your world view is that Muslims, are mad, bad, dangerous to know. A contagion to be contained.
‘In the final chapter [of his autobiography] you say we need a “religious counter attack” against Islam. And by “Islam” you mean the Al Quds rallies, the Palestinian intifada (based on an anti Apartheid struggle Tony, NOT religious bigotry), against every Arab who fails to put their arms in the air as the F16 missiles rain on their homes and refugee camps and sing a rousing chorus of ‘Imagine all the people…’

you can’t talk sense to a muslim,
if say something from quaran they wills ay u read the wrong translation or you got the wrong message
they will say you have to use ayats in whole context of quaran,
they say they have the truth you will have to accept it,
if u say u have the truth u are wrong just because they said so.
they make claims based on dreams, based on a persons conversation with an angel
no one saw it , but still u have to believe it coz he said so.
yes they made all the medicines, that is why they are so advanced in that field.
yes earth is flat, sun sets in a muddy pond
but still scientific miracles of quran are subhan allah
regards
i will rather burn in hellfire

to aldo,
i can see that u are only trying to cause trouble. well do u even believe that there is God? if yes better for u. let me remind u that many people had hated islam in the past but resulted into accepting islam. ponder over hw u came into existence and hw u would leave this world. think of what u would tell HIM who created u in the first place. well it is never too late to seek repentance from Allah because HE is all forgiving

It is really a great thing to hear that such kind of person from such kind of family can convert to a religion that the family hates so much,let people take a queue from her and try to understand the real beauty of the religion instead of bastardizing it.All the same let us don’t make a mountain out of this because so many people convert from one religion to another daily.In all we say that is just one reason why we all need to accept ourselves as been great creations from God Almighty,who chooses what we will become at any point in our lives.
