Lauren Booth – When I read the Quran for the first time

If you're not Muslim, you'd recognize the opening of the Quran is sounding a bit like the Lord's Prayer. If you read surah baqarah

and you're in a sinful disbelieving state, it's gonna it's gonna hit you like a brick. It hit me like a brick as an ayat in there that says

they, you know, it's to do with they pretend to be believers, when they're with believers, but when they're on their own with their shaytaan, complete hypocrites, and I realized I was a hypocrite.

I told people I believed in God, but I didn't pray.

I said to myself, oh, all my children, let's believe in God, but I didn't act like a believer. I acted like a non believer. And this book told me I was a liar and I was going to * and it's scared me.

So without picking up the Quran again, I took my Shahada and then I had to go back to the Koran
