My name is Alexandra Jane Norton. Also known as Fatima Abdul, which is the Arabic name I changed my original ( Christian) name to. Asalam Alaikum, my brothers and sisters. Here I am. Standing five-foot-eleven, chubby, with reddish blonde hair, alabaster skin and pale blue eyes. Clad in my burka you can't tell me apart from any conservative Muslim woman...save for my blue eyes which give me away as Caucasian. I bet when you think of a Muslim woman, I'm definitely not what you think of. For starters, I'm White and I was born in liberal, feministic, secular and egalitarian Europe. I joined the Islamic faith after a life of indulgence, wildness and sin. I was once a Porn Star and a Dominatrix to boot. However, like many White women in the Continent profound change? Sometimes, even when you're indulging yourself, you feel a deep emptiness inside. For me, Islam is about fulfilling the strange void I felt in my life ever since I could remember.
Now I provide a unique service for Muslim men and Muslim women. I am in charge of the recruitment of White women into the wonderful faith that is Islam. To many White women living in the mostly secular and deeply liberal Western world, Islam equals oppression, male domination, patriarchy and mistreatment. To a great extent, White women's fears that Islam basically subjugates women is largely true but I have to make it more palatable to them. Sometimes, lies are necessary to bring people to your side. I can't bring up subjects like the fact that women are excluded from leadership positions in Islam as a matter of sacred Sharia Law. The laws of Islam as dictated to the Prophet Muhammad by Almighty Allah Himself, many centuries ago. Women and men can't even pray in the same room inside the Mosques, truth be told. They have to be in separate rooms. Women are considered a distraction in the most sacred tenets of Islam and they are not given the same rights and privileges as men.
