Die Konversion von Tony Blairs Schwägerin Lauren Booth zum Islam ist Anlass für Herbert Londons klugen Artikel auf pajamasmedia.com, in dem er seufzend die Frage aufwirft, aus welchen Gründen sich Bürger westlich-säkularer Gesellschaften - zumal Frauen - entscheiden, Muslime zu werden:
"Some poor souls unable 'to find themselves' seek refuge in self-selected slavery. They are prisoners of their own vision. The West they see is morally bankrupt; Islam may be violent and harsh, but it does prescribe moral parameters. [...] what converts often confuse is culture and religion. The warmth a family confers is not the same as the demands of religious obedience."
