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.

I hope she stays there. Or otherwise she should get a nice tar -and-feather experience and be kicked out of Britain.

‘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,' 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.’

lol. Eeeevil alcohol.

By the way, how does she know what morphine feels like ... ?

Her poor, poor family ... I pity them.

Tony Blair has my sympathy. I don't even want to think about how I'd feel if my sister-in-law converted to Islam.

It will certainly make for interesting table talk, Blair who has killed more Muslims than the Crusaders and his sister-in-law who has converted……I would love to be a fly on the wall at that dinner party….

Maybe she does not crave alcohol. But has she craved a bacon sarnie? This is important.

Another candidate for the death penalty, wrong thread?

I doubt her love affair with Islam will last. She'll probably cave into the next spiritual trend that comes along when Islam loses its lustre, if she isn't killed first for apostasy.
