1. and brainwashing - officially completed.

2. A burka would greatly improve her looks!
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (01.26.11)
3. What village has lost its idiot ?
Avi ,   Israel   (01.26.11)
Dont suppose they ask her for christmas any more.
4. the truth is...
tom ,   toronto, canada   (01.26.11)
the truth is that more moslems are killed by moslems, worldwide, than by the "crusaders" as the islamists insist on calling them. so why isn't she also calling for the islamist leaders, who send suicide bombers to blow up mosques, to be put on trial for their crimes? somehow that gets lost in the rhetoric of victimhood, and the incessant demands of islamists for the very rights which they systematically deny to non-moslems in moslem countries. this idiot does not feel oppressed, but somehow not showing her face in public is a sign of her "non-oppression". as is her status, under sharia law, of being worth half as much as a man, but far more than an infidel (or any other "dog").
5. "Western women are bored, lonely and oppressed"
eporue ,   europe   (01.26.11)
yes, possible... but islamic women are far MORE bored, lonely and oppressed... due to oppression, they cant find distraction in pubs, in studying, politics, travelling... nobody listens to them anyway. so, lauren booth converted, to not longer be bored ? or did she convert, because nobody listened to her ? if they do now, then only because she made herself part of an islamic curiosity cabinet...
6. the woman is an idiot and she has never liked Tony Blair
zionist forever   (01.26.11)
She has no love of Tony Blair and he has no lover of her and never did. Ahmadinejad, Bin Laden, Saddam they are the kind of men she looks up to with admiration. I was never a big fan of Blair and his policies but his honesty at the Iraq inquiry has made me have real respect for the man. Unlike most politicians would he is saying I did it and I an proud I did it despite the contrevery around the legality of the war.
7. Is this really a news? Who cares?
leo ,   usa   (01.26.11)
8. Why not?
Hostage   (01.26.11)
Unless the members of the Bush and Blair administrations committed acts that are punishable as crimes under international law, they have nothing to fear from a court that provides the defendants with all rights recognized by civilized peoples. It certainly appears as though the bulk of the Iraqi civilian casualties occurred after Sadaam was no longer in power. There is no doubt that they targeted an identifiable national group with false propaganda and incitement and that hundreds of thousands died or became refugees.
9. what should we expect from the likes of her?
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (01.26.11)
Of course she is baised. She is a typical islamic hatred filled muslim that must hate all things western.
10. Her friends are right - and she trades on her family ties
rebecca ,   Modiin   (01.26.11)
and she trades on her family ties. She would be of no interest without being related to Toni Blair. Like many "western" women, she'll do anything for a bit of attention.
11. News?
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (01.26.11)
This woman has serious personal issues. Defining all western woman as lonely and bored is obviously a broad and purposeful comment, designed to deflect her of the real truth; she was (is?) the one bored, lonely and without direction. Essentially an excellent candidate for domination by a cult or a religion. In this case Islam. What is just wrong here is that she is news. And, the reason she is news? Distant family. Does everyone whose last name is Freud or Einstein inherit the capacity of the famous person with the same name? I think not. You want people to try for war crimes, crimes against humanity, cruelty and violence against woman? All this woman need do, is look around her own company!
12. Competition time!
Inez ,   UK   (01.26.11)
...from the perspective of "Western women"? Definitely no. Rename the address she gave "Islam from the perspective of............."
13. Booth bankrupt, traveling on others' dime
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (01.26.11)
Lauren Booth would be just another deluded, middle aged woman were it not for her relation to Tony Blair. As it is, she's reportedly filed for bankruptcy in the UK but - like so many other losers - she's got a new gig. For some, it's as an Israel basher. For Booth, it's promoting Islam.
14. Only a fool embraces feudalism
Cameron ,   USA   (01.26.11)
Never heard of the woman, but she sounds like one of those Leftist twits who thinks naively thinks she can enjoy both worlds without penalty.
15. DRUGGED UP
Michael ,   California, USA   (01.26.11)
She doesn't sound totally crazy. What makes people become so obsessed? She is obviously jealous of her half-brother in law. And she sounds like a person who is high on some drugs. High on the "opium of the masses," I am certain of that. All those "masses" make this world a very dangerous place.
16. Hey Tony, when you converting to Islam man?
usa   (01.26.11)
17. Phyllis Chesler, American psychologist
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (01.26.11)
and famous early feminist, points out how shockingly uncaring are modern feminists regarding the state of oppression and slate of family abuses experienced by Muslim women in the mideast and Asia given the spate of executions and "honour killings" they endure. Such women would rather take the side of the liberal hoards which castigate Israel due to its socalled lack of human rights. Dr. Chesler does her homework, calls a spade a spade and is not now, nor was she ever, afraid to be "politically incorrect". You can check her out on her own website where her articles are published. Lauren Booth is obviously one of the many women who misuse feminism and an example of the kind of woman whom Phyllis Chesler upbraids. Pitiful as Lauren Booth is, she also causes a good deal of misery while gaining the fawning attention of the liberals of the western world and the false friendship of terrorist entities.
18. I live in the UK, I can assure you that Booth..
Barry   (01.26.11)
is considered as an egoist and a fool by the vast majority of people
19. Baruch H', she hasn't converted 2 judaism
Eli ,   Raanana   (01.26.11)
20. Who cares?
Observer 1 ,   Chrangbegbo, Ghana   (01.26.11)
Had it not been the mention made of it here who'd have cared what another shithead says or does?
21. For once i agree with this needy nutter.
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (01.26.11)
Blair is a mass murderer and thief. But silly Lauren Booth just wants to be loved by her father ... but isn't. If she wasn't such a warped individual i would feel pity for her as she is very pathetic.
22. We all got to make a living!
(01.26.11)
23. One might forgive this...
tiki ,   belgium   (01.26.11)
Jewish (had a jewish mother), now Muslim woman, to get a bit confused. Who wouldn't be with her background.
24. "Western women are bored, lonely and oppressed"
(01.26.11)
in other words: "I couldn't find a husband or a boyfriend on my own, so i blamed the society, and decided to move to a society where I'm forced to have one."
25. She never should take this scarf off! Huge Improvement!!!
Noa ,   Israel   (01.26.11)
26. Its called "Stockholm Syndrome"..
Andrew ,   Miami,FL   (01.26.11)
27. Converts can't be trusted
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.26.11)
28. #19 hahaha great answer )))
Joav ,   Germany   (01.26.11)
29. The Booths are a strange family
Sagi   (01.26.11)
very idiosyncratic to say the least. Extreme practicing of Catholicism always leads to strange behaviour. Jesuits are unbalanced people by any meassure. A not too distant relative, a certain Booth was the man who shot and killed President Abraham Lincoln. Need I say more.
30. Tony wants to get tough with Iran..(i.e. militarily).
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (01.26.11)
What will the silly sister-in-law say about that?
