Muslim Convert, Lauren Booth, Loses Debate About Israel
Via YNet
It's not every day that Israel marks a victory away from home, especially not on hostile grounds such as University of Cambridge in England. But on Thursday, Israel secured an unexpected triumph in the institution's prestigious debate club, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Monday. The university's debate club is a forum that gathers regularly to discuss different topics relating to the academia and international media[...]
Last Thursday, the debate club hosted an event titled "Israel is a Rogue State."
The debate's starting point was that Israel is a problematic country, which does not obey international law. Due to the preeminence of the hosting institution, The Israeli embassy in London decided to send representatives Ran Gidor, the embassy's political advisor and a Cambridge graduate, and Shiraz Maher, a former radical Islamist that has become an enthusiastic Israel supporter.
The opposing side was represented by journalist and publicist Lauren Booth Dumb Blonde, the sister-in-law of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Booth, who is considered as one of the most prominent and outspoken pro-Palestinian activists in Britain, converted to Islam after visiting Iran six weeks prior to the event.[Emphasis mine...ed][...]
After both sides concluded their arguments, the audience was asked to vote for the side that they deemed more persuasive. Surprisingly, the Israeli side won with 74% of the votes, marking an important PR achievement in what could be considered one of Europe's main anti-Israeli strongholds.
So much for converting to Islam, eh Lauren? Islam makes a convert even more dumbed down than they were before.
