Why ARE so many modern British career women converting to Islam?

People instinctively know there is a God of some sorts. Career women are have inquisitive minds, so they are also seeking truth. They learn there is emptyness in debuachery. They also want structure from a faith. The Church of England has been saying "believe what you feel like" for the last several decades.

Muslims are aggressive in prostalytizing. When learning about Islam, these women hear about all good things. Of course, some women who marry Muslims get a rude awakening into the finer points of their new subservient role.

People are also converting to Catholicism, because the Catholic Church still stands for things and resists pressure from secularists to modify their belief system. Catholics are also moving Catholicism towards orthodoxy rather than the liberal Catholicism that was prevelent in the 1970s. Look at the surging interest in the old style (Tridentine) Mass.

Tony Blair’s sister-in-law announced her conversion to Islam last weekend. Journalist Lauren Booth embraced the faith after what she describes as a ‘holy experience’ in Iran.

She is just one of a growing number of modern British career women to do so. Here, writer EVE AHMED, who was raised as a Muslim before rejecting the faith, explores the reasons why.

Predicting November 2nd.

When looking at predictions for election, I think looking at the betting can be better than the polls. Intrade lets people bet on the election. Right now, the odds are 89% that the Republicans take the House. There is a 72% the Republicans will get 48 seats, but only 18% that they will get 51.

Of course, after the election, the media will circle the wagons. The media is already asking Democrats questions like, "how come you could not get your message out?" We've gotten the message. We don't like it.

After the 1994 election, the media talked about "angry white men." This time we will see a similar line of dialogue. Voters will be classified as either irrational, emotional, or impatient. Essentially, all voting was illogical.

Men Vs. Women Salary Differential Explained.

This dumb statistic again. They try to use it to show some sort of systematic discrimination. All it is, is the average of all salaries.

If a man in West Virginia goes into the coal mines, and a woman answers telephones for the coal company, the man will make more. It's more dangerous, it's hot, it's dirty. There's compensation.

Show me a male and female college graduate in accounting who hire into the same firm, doing the same job, and get paid different salaries.

As careers progress, people make different choices. With lawyers, some men work 100 hours a week and make a lot of money. While some women do as well, more women choose to work 50 hours a week and make less money. This is a lifestyle choice, not discrimation.

ABC NEWS: In fact, from Alaska to Rhode Island, only women located in one place brought home more than the estimated $45,485 average median salary for men in all 50 states -- the District of Columbia, where women earned an estimated median salary of more than $54,000 in 2009.

While the women earners in D.C. trailed men in the same area by more than $7,000, the capital is likely to pay women 88 percent of the earnings of men -- a high percentage for the United States.

Yawn: New Spitzer / Parker show on CNN

Spitzer has no credibility and poor ratings will show for it. Who wants to listen to commentary from a man who wrecked his family by sleeping with countless prostitutes?

And where supposed to listen to his commentary on Palin? She's a idiot? She didn't wreck her career over a fling like Spitzer. That's pretty idiotic.

All Spitzer will do is spout the party line. Look for Geitner to be sacked in a couple months. He will be the fall guy. It's the entire administration headed by Obama that is pushing bad economic policy after bad economic policy.

Parker is a pretend conservative. She's too interested in being liked by the Washington elite (read: liberal) that she doesn't have any true principles. She's not conservative enough for conservatives to watch and not liberal enough to bring in liberal viewers.
