People in Islam: Lauren Booth

Lauren Booth is a sister who converted to Islam in September 2010 while visiting the Fatima Masumeh Shrine in Qom, Iran giving surprise to those who had not known her until recently. Her political connections in England made her conversion to Islam a big topic to discuss, since she is the sister-in-law of former Prime Minister Tony Blair, where she opposed his inter-faith working groups which were designed to “silence the voices of Muslims”.

As a journalist Sister Lauren has traveled through many Muslim nations and speaks often at events on how Islam helps humanity and the innate characteristics of the faith in pursuing peace and justice. She currently works for Press-TV in Iran.
