Lisa Bauer is an American woman who converted to Islam. She posts quite a lot on the Dawkins forum under another name, I guess the name that she used as a Muslim. The first link is Richard Dawkins' introduction to her story. The second is Part I of her story as a Muslim. Part II will be in the next issue.

Wow! At first I could totally relate to Lisa's reasons for converting as my experience was very similar and I was around the same age as she was when I took the shahada, but then....WOW!

Thanks for sharing this with us Manat.

Really good stuff, thanks for posting.

I mean, really -- it is an important account of the mangling of a free mind and spirit by Islam. Deeply compelling stuff.
