Accomplished Greek women embrace Islam. Have they lost their mind?

Find out yourself. Below is a translation summary of an interesting article about Muslim women published by the Greek newspaper “Eleftherotypia” on November 22, 2008 about Greek women who chose to wear the hijab.

Two Greek Muslim women were interviewed, the first was a 25 year old computer teacher, who reverted at her 22 by her personal inner search, she had to leave the small town she lived in to move to Athens to have access to the Islamic community. Today she works at an airway company, her boss is an Arab, and her feeling is that under the hijab all women have a lot in common. Her family reacted negatively, telling her that “you are no longer a Greek” but in time they have learned at least to accept the fact of her choice.

The second woman, 42, accepted Islam at 35 years old, is a midwife and teaches her profession at a technical high school in Athens. She reverted by reading the Qur’an and states that she would not like to marry an Arab because she is not fond of them and, anyway, they are just the one quarter of the Muslim population.  She understands the reasons for polygamy in Islam.
