Lauren Booth Converts to Islam After 'Holy Experience'
inn ^ | 10/24/10 | Chana Ya'ar

Posted on 10/24/2010 3:20:16 PM PDT by Nachum

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s sister-in-law, Lauren Booth, has converted to Islam after a trip to Iran.

The 43-year-old broadcast journalist, who works for Iran’s English-language Press TV, said she had a “holy experience” while visiting the Fatima al-Masumeh shrine in the city of Qom, a “shot of spiritual morphine.”

Upon her return to Britain, she told British publication The Mail in an interview published Sunday that she decided to immediately convert to Islam.

“Now I don’t eat pork and I read the Koran every day. I’m on page 60,” she told the publication. “I also haven’t had a drink in 45 days, the longest period in 25 years.”

45 days to read 60 pages? She sounds like a real genius.

Not exactly a theological scholar. LOL!

Can you imagine saying, “I read the Bible every day. I’m on page 60?”

>She is giving up so much for so little.<

.
Ever counted the number of Catholics that were Nazis of the worst kind during WWII, starting with Hitler? This woman is not giving up anything — she never realized she had something.

This “Twelfth Imam” will probably “cause fire to descend from the sky”, either him or his prophet, so as to deceive, if it were possible, the very elect. We must watch.

Because people like her do not understand their faith and are looking for something that is in the news and is different. If you listen to the darkness darkness will be given to you. She certainly never understood Islam, giving up Christ is just stupid and she will come to know that.

She is clearly an exhibitionist, alcoholic and wannabe celebrity.

This has nothing to do with spirituality or finding faith. It has everything to do with an empty head.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1
