Muslim Women Converts: Are they scapegoats in Europe?

Muriel Degauque, a Belgian convert and a suicide bomber, blew herself up in a suicide attack on US troops in Iraq last month. The single incident was enough to change the mindset and has triggered an ill-will against all women converts in Europe.
The truth is, it’s not just an incident, but a ever present malign in people’s mind against certain sections of society, which just need a spark to set the fire.
Today more and more European women are converting to Islam. The phenomenon is proliferating and the main reason behind it is none other than 9/11. There is no point in suspecting each and every convert by the authorities, in fact, it shows their narrow-mindedness. I’ve come across many stats claiming a tremendous increase in conversion rate. But the reality is, you can count them on tips and that too they have done to marry a Muslim man rather than any radical inclinations. Others do it to understand Islam.
It is terrible to punish others on the basis of a single incident. The authorities are unnecessary being skeptical, after all it’s one own free will.
