An interesting take on Lauren Booth's conversion to Islam

Tony Blair's sister-in-law has joined a growing number of independent, educated, middle-class, western women who have chosen to convert to Islam.

Much as it pains me to link anybody to the Daily HateMail, the analysis in the Femail section (yes, really. Can you hear my teeth grinding?) is very interesting.

It's written by a 'Born Muslim' woman who rejected Islam. I found it compelling reading, but there are bits that just made me want to bang my head against a wall. Then again i tend to feel like that when i hear people explain their reasons for accepting any religious faith :P

Some really interesting perspectives though.
