Broadcaster and journalist declared 43-year-old, now he's wearing a headscarf when out of the house, pray 5 times a day and visit a mosque when there is opportunity.
He decided to become Muslim 6 weeks ago after visiting the Mosque of Fatima al-Masumeh in the City of Qom, Iran.
"It was Tuesday afternoon and I sit and feel the injection of spiritual enthusiasm, only absolute happiness and joy," he said as reported by British media, The Mail on Sunday (24/10). After he returned to England, he decided to move the conviction.
"Now I do not eat pork and I read the Koran every day. Now I arrived at page 60," he said.
"I also do not drink (alcohol) for 45 days, the longest period for 25 years. The strange thing is that since I decided to convert, I do not want to touch alcohol, even though I was the one who longed for a glass or two glasses of wine at the end day, "he explained.
Whether he will be wearing a burka? "Who knows where my spiritual journey will take me?" he replied.
Before you get enlightenment in Iran, Lauren has been 'sympathetic' to Islam and spent lots of time to work in Palestine. "I am always impressed with the strength and comfort provided," he said about Islam.
