Tony Blair’s sister-in-law announced her conversion to Islam last weekend.
Journalist Lauren Booth embraced the faith after what she describes as a ‘holy
experience’ in Iran.
She is just one of a growing number of modern British career women to do so.
Here, writer EVE AHMED, who was raised as a Muslim before rejecting the faith,
explores the reasons why.
Rejecting her faith: Writer Eve Ahmed was raised a Muslim
Much of my childhood was spent trying to escape Islam.
Born in London to an English mother and a Pakistani Muslim father, I was
brought up to follow my father’s faith without question.
But, privately, I hated it. The minute I left home for university at the age of
18, I abandoned it altogether.
As far as I was concerned, being a Muslim meant hearing the word ‘No’ over and
over again.
