The Saudi Gazette:

Two years ago, Lauren Booth announced her conversion to Islam. Lauren Booth is a British broadcaster, journalist, and human rights activist. She is the half-sister of Cherie Blair, wife of the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. She is currently penning her eagerly awaited autobiography ‘Journey to Islam’.

In her writings, Lauren Booth tells how she embraced Islam and how one day she realized that she was a member of the Muslim Ummah, and no longer a spectator from the outside.

Back in 2005, she set off on her first trip to Palestine.
