 People to Women: Convert to Islam, Like Angela Collins  Islam Convert Angela Collins Before
Take Angela Collins, 30. The sexy blonde with blue eyes converted to Islam because she felt she missed something growing up as a latchkey kid, and the religion filled a void that existed since her parents divorced when she was 5. "As I'm reading [the Koran], I almost feel as if I am being parented."Well, she may have felt parented, but she also felt violence: In 2003 she married a Kuwait-born Muslim, but their marriage was rocky. They are currently going through a divorce, and she had to obtain a restraining order.Restraining orders are not exactly a very attractive feature for joining a religion.   Islamic Convert Nicole AeschlemanThen, there is Nicole Aeschleman, a 25-year-old lawyer. She converted to Islam in 2004 after emerging from a six-month partying spree-getting drunk and dating men who weren't interested in relationships [DS: or getting green cards].To the rescue: Nabil Michraf, a Morroccan studying in France. Guess where he lives now? Well, he married Aeschleman. He's here. She had to compose a marriage contract enabling her to get a divorce if her husband doesn't let her work or takes additional wives. In most other religions -for obvious reasons-you don't need this kind of "pre-nup." Most other religions don't permit multiple wives and only allow the husband to grant a divorce, a la Islam.Then, there's Timna Valore-Schulze, 24, who wanted to become a nun, but converted to Islam in 2001, after she determined that "it was the most feminist religion I had ever seen" because of its support for women's rights.HUH?! Earth to blind, deaf, and dumb chick . . . . After she converted to Islam, her mother jotted down her friends' phone numbers from her cell phone after the 9/11 attacks and reported them to the FBI as potential terrorists.This is People Magazine at work, doing the work of Adam Gadahn for him. People's post-9/11 prescription (and Gadahn's) -If you can't beat 'em, join 'em—will be the death of us.
