Lauren Booth becomes a Muslim

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgXedDnVbBs

Lauren always does things in a quiet, unassuming modest way ...

"Gaza. Bloody Gaza? Have you ever tried shopping in Wapping? I'll give you, Gaza."

"And as for your "New Labour", he that was the Prime minister, sun-tanned brother-in-law. Smiling like a raving mad Cheshire cat. And poncing his way round the Middle East. Getting millions... new bloody Labour, I'd say."

"Lauren, I saw that video of you on "Islam Live"... all about how you converted on your trip to Iran. But did you get to meet the President... Madmaniniran? And any political prisoners?

Nice to see your daughter up there with you. No point you converting and leaving her out of the show."

This is for real:

"Anyway, yesterday, I stood in the midst of more than one million Iranian Muslims all chanting in unison 'Marg Bar Isre-hell!' and 'Marg Bar Am-ri-ca!' You know what that means Tony I'm sure; 'Down with Israel, down with America'. 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). 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, except without illegal chemical weapons and a million civilian deaths.

Some mothers at the rally wept, not out of hatred for 'the West' but out of empathy for the mothers of Rafah, Khan Younis, Nablus and Jenin. Do you recognise these place names Tony, as Middle East peace envoy you really should. Israel has massacred children in all of these cities in recent years. Didn't you know?

Today when the streets of London reverberate with cries of 'Allahuakbar!' and 'Down Down Israel.' Christians and Jews will join the thunderous cries of 'Down Down Israel, marching shoulder to shoulder with the 'political' Muslims you say you fear so much.

Perhaps you believe that I am in danger in Iran, especially on a day like Al Quds. Well here again Tony, you've been fed and have consumed in its entirety, a massive lie. The lie that says when Muslims express an opinion in groups, in public, it is always spurred on by hatred of 'us' infidels. As if all protests that are led by Muslim communities are a kind of long held grudge against the Crusades. ..
Iran is indeed the place where Islamic tradition meets political action."

"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?’

Her shameless use of the family connection to Tony Blair is disgusting

(In the Middle East Monitor article you link to)

This would be the same Iran where they chop off thieves' hands? Progressives like the repugnant Ms Booth.

Jonathan the allegedly great anti-racism campaigner is starting to sound like his mates in the EDL/BNP. That's why his claim to be an anti-racist sounds so hollow.

Jono, maybe we can get Lauren Booth to attend the next Ahava demo. If she accepts, I'll email you so you can ask your EDL mates to bring the swastika placard. That really turned heads and attracted photographers yesterday. And in the same pen as the Zionists! Disgraceful!

Jono, the most honourable thing to do is resign now. Give it a rest already. Time to go.

Thanks to you, the ZF's reputation is already at rock bottom. Resign now.

Go for it Brucie. Get her to bring her brainwashed kids too.

And Lauren will no doubt agree with you that “They should dig Gilad Shalit up and kill him again”

Since I was just re-elected, I don't think I shall be resigning. Especially since we need to keep up the pressure on lying anti-Israel irrelevant cowards such as you two.

But thanks awfully much for the suggestion.

Philo,

Of course, Lauren Booth would be keen to attend the Ahava demo and you should invite her. I presume that she will carry her placard stating..

"Iran is indeed the place where Islamic tradition meets political action."

I am sure that the boycotters (including yourself) would agree with that statement.

So you have to really wonder whether The EDL or the boycott lobby are the more dangerous fascists...don't you?

Philo,

Just to confirm, I agree with Lauren Booth that "Iran is indeed the place where Islamic tradition meets political action."

Do you?

And she also informs Tony Blair...

"Today when the streets of London reverberate with cries of 'Allahuakbar!' and 'Down Down Israel.' Christians and Jews will join the thunderous cries of 'Down Down Israel, marching shoulder to shoulder with the 'political' Muslims you say you fear so much."

I have to coclude that Lauren Booth is a star performer. You must get her down to Covent Garden. I reckon, that you will be greatly admired if you can get her to pull that stunt off, so you should contact her at Press TV asap.

Brucie, steady on, did you forget to take your medicine again?

You forgot 'ethnic cleansing' and 'colonialism'.

We are still waiting for your explanation of your comment about Gilad Shalit: “They should dig Gilad Shalit up and kill him again”.

Why don't you volunteer to go to Gaza and do some healthy digging yourself? I'm sure we could help with the fare provided the ticket is one-way.......

Philo,

I note that you haven't answered my question or responded to my suggestions.

So I have to reiterate: Do you agree with Lauren Booth that "Iran is indeed the place where Islamic tradition meets political action."

Please also answer the following questions which have been posed by an Iranian...

http://www.iranian.com/main/blog/kaaveh-aahangar/ms-lauren-booths-conver...

Since she works for Press TV, and in effect, for its owner, government of Islamic Republic of Iran; has Ms. Booth considered how this government has been treating its own people for the past 31 years, particularly those among them who have had the courage to stand for human and civil rights?

Has she considered that there is not a single Muslim country where its citizens enjoy the same measure of civil and human rights as in Western Europe & North America?; and for that very reason, we have seen large migration of Muslims into these Western countries in the past 3 decades, including a substantial percentage who are very fervent and practicing Muslims. If Islam was so great, why these fervent and practicing Muslims abandoned their Islamic homeland to seek a better life in Western Europe & North America?

As a journalist:

Has Ms. Booth ever bothered to wonder why the Islamic Republic of Iran has the highest number of imprisoned journalists in the world?

Has she wondered why the Islamic Republic of Iran has the highest number of executions per capita in the world?

Has she wondered why the rights of women are so curtailed in the Islamic Republic of Iran as well as nearly all Islamic countries, and how their governments treats their own female population?

Has she wondered why only women are subjected to stoning in Islamic Republic of Iran, Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, and certain regions of Islamic Republic of Pakistan?

Anthony

Why on earth do you engage with these trolls.

Harvey,

Philo did bring up the possibility of Booth going to Ahava. I actually think it it is an excellent idea and I want him to contact her.

However, I also want him to ensure that Booth brings her placard "Iran is indeed the place where Islamic tradition meets political action." as well as ''Down Down Israel."

Moreover, Philo has revealed the link between Islamofascism and anti-zionism and I think that he should be congratulated for doing so. Well done, Philo!

If Philo is just going to post anti-zionist invective and refuses to engage with the subject (Lauren Booth) one has to seriously wonder whether he is participating in the debate. I would suggest that he isn't and is just using the site for propaganda purposes.
