I received a call from my brother last night,he was in a right tangle let me tell you.
Apparently his sixteen year old daughter (called nominally Sarah) last week told he and his wife that she was now a Muslim.
My brother comes from a born again Christian background , and to say it has sent him into a spin is an understatement.
On the phone he related how yestterday morning she came to breakfast wearing the full Burqa.
At first he wasnt sure it was her but he recognised her voice.
I told him she is probably just going through a teenage phase, trying to get attention, but he is adamant she is serious and wants to transfer to a Private Islamic College.
On a wider scale this must be happenning to other western parents the world over?
How should we handle the conversions?
By law parents cannit stop their children converting?
Is this a positive or negative development?
I believe it could be a pathway to peace and harmony , because if more and more western Europeans become muslim, perhaps the cultural divisions can be bridged?
Olease no racist bigoted replies, this is a thread seeking answers and genuine opinions on what may be a common day reality in the coming years.

I'm done with all this nonsense. Good-bye.
edit: Can we hang this in the HOAX folder now? Or at least make a 'Waist of Time' folder to put it in?

IT seems you are the one wanting attention, not her.
Why was she wearing Burqah in front of her parents?
You only cover yourself when you are amongst male strangers.
Burqah is not an Islamic dressing, it is cultural. Islam doesn't mentions covering your face.
These things in your story seems off, therefore it smells fishy for me at the moment and allows me to conclude that you are seeking attention rather than the supposed Sarah who converted to Islam.

In case anyone reading this has missed my update post, after half choking on a Chicken leg a few hours ago(whilst still Burqa clad) Sarah broke down and confessed she wore the Burqa to conceal a pregnancy to the son of a scientologist she had a brief encounter with at a party.
She had got unknowingly drunk( she thought she was drinking diet coke) , my brother however is not 100% sure she isnt still wishing to be a muslim.
She now confesses that the Burqa has been worn to conceal a ...beer belly.
Apparently her and a couple of friends , ordered a home brew kit on the internet and had it set up and brewing ale under my brothers house.

16 years old?
That burkha would come off so fast her head would spin around like The Exorcist. Not in my house.
18 and out of the house? She can do what she wants....
If she was really serious I'd have her committed. Seriously.

Islam is the most destructive religion? Shame on anyone who thinks this. Seriously, making this kind of remark or anything like it is a sign of PURE IGNORANCE. I'm supposed to know less about history - especially Eurasian history - than the generation that came before me, but I don't see it. For the sake of this website's motto, I implore everyone who thinks the above, to examine the 500 year period of history known as The Islamic Golden Age.
Islam has been the target of subversion and hardcore manipulation for over a hundred years. Suicide bombing in Arab culture was unheard of before the late 1800s, when European interests began systematically impoverishing millions of Arabs. It continues to this very day. Don't you see it? It's right in front of your eyes. Through subversive propaganda and economic warfare, we have turned hundreds of millions of people into uneducated, hopelessly poor wretches, whose lifely passions have been reduced to protecting their families, and seeking bloody revenge.

Maybe she will get tired of it, after living with certain freedoms, I don't understand why a women would want to go backward,
Maybe when bikini season rolls around she will figure it out.

To me it sounds more like she is rebelling against parents by doing what she feels is the oppositte. trying to create a barrier so they leave her alone and she feels she can become herself if that makes sense
Oh God will i ever sleep again(Iam supposed to be on ....Holidays... in Kathmandu) .
First my poor Brother tells me Sarah his daughter has become a muslim a d came down to breakfast one morning wearing a full Burqa( he says at first he wasnt sure it was his daughter but he recognised the voice.
Then just as my poor brother was contemplating this a s permanent, she almost chokes on a Chicken leg at meal time , and then shortly afterwards confesses that she is pregnant to a Scientologists son and that is why she is wearing the Burqa.
But she never renounces her conversion to Islam.
Then later in the day Sarah confesses that the pregnancy is made up and the reason for the full Burqa is because she stole her Dads credit card to go order a Home brew kit and TIns if various brews.
Her and a couple of Girlfriends guzzled so much beer that they developed Taxi driver sized beer bellys and stubbly moustaches hence the Burqa.
But strangely she still didnt renounce her conversion to Islam .
And I believe this is the final saga of this disturbing day.....my Brother has just rang ina frenzied state and told me that the person under the Burqa isnt ......Sarah at all.
Sarah has run away, she paid the neighbourhood bum to dress up in the Burqa to give herself time to get away fully.
The voice my distraught brother thought he heard was a MP3 recording.
The cunning Sarah had it all worked out from start to finish.
The only reason they found out was as Sarah mm The street person tripped going to the Fridge for another Chicken wing and the Burqa tore off.
I dont know what to learn out of this,except mmm a burqa sure is a good disguise?
Now my brother is worried big time about Srahs whereabouts"apparently she has cleaned out all of their bank accounts.
