Tampa woman who lost eight relatives in the attacks converts to Islam as tensions simmer from the memories and new terror plots.

Her mother named her Elizabeth after the queen of England. More than four decades later, she took another name: Safia Al-Kasaby, reflecting her new identity as a Muslima.
Safia, 43, is an unlikely candidate for conversion. She claims Jewish and Puerto Rican ancestry. She is a former sergeant first class in the Air Force National Guard. And she lost eight relatives — one uncle and seven cousins — in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.
She found Islam in 2005 on the third day of a Moroccan vacation.
“I just felt like God was there,” she said, recalling her visit to a mosque during the call for prayer. “I said, 'This is it. I believe there is only one God. His name is Allah, and his messenger is Mohammed.’”

Wow, (goosebumps in their full effect).
This is beyond luck.. Its heavenly beautiful.
Allah has chosen her to see the light before it is too late.
God bless her and us all.
"I bear witness that there be no God but Allah, and that Mohammad (pbuh) is His messenger"
P.S: Why do some christians think we can't accept or believe in Jesus (pbuh)!? We do, he is a prophet (not God, not son of God) who was lifted to the heavens (not crucified, did not die) and shall return to take the believers and the fortunate to through the path of rightousness, to Allah (swt).

She isn't the first person to convert from one religion to another. Should it be a big deal because she converted to Islam??

She said "'This is it. I believe there is only one God. His name is Allah, and his messenger is Mohammed.’”
Ok, that is what the terrorist said before they crashed into the buildings that killed her relaves...
Sounds to me that these radicals are trying to get us christians to convert or die...so to them I say
"Good luck trying to get me to convert...I will not belive in your false God, allah and his messenger because your God tells you to kill and MY God tells me to love and do unto others as you would do unto yourself...and much more...nothing of hate to other religions but my God does warn of false religions (like yours)...you may try to get me to convert by your threats at gunpoint but I must warn you I will not go with out a fight...for I have weapons and guns of my own as do many americans and we have religious values that we will not convert to muslum...we will prevail in this battle and I will stay loyal to my God throughout even if it mean I die for him by not converting to the evil radical muslum allah movement".

so if she converted to any religion other than islam, it wouldn't be "grief has driven her mad"?

Bush gave up alcohol and cocaine for Jesus.
