Religious conversion
El Aroud was born in Morocco but her family emigrated to Belgium. She was a free-spirited and rebellious teenager. At home she was required to dress in Islamic garb; outside the home she shunned her religion, drinking with her friends and wearing tight miniskirts.

Her life changed dramatically after she was expelled from school for striking a teacher who el Aroud said uttered a racial taunt. She descended into a whirlwind of unsuitable men, drugs, alcohol and nightclubs until she tried to kill herself with a drug overdose.

She said she then became a born-again Muslim and embraced a fundamentalist interpretation of the religion. The strict laws gave her a sense of boundaries. It was in this circle that in 1999 she met and married the man who would kill Massoud.



Must be nice to run around and claim devotion to a religion for...well...no apparent reason. BTW, I feel the same about born-again Christians, and anyone else who thinks its okay for them to live it up when they're young, but then decline others the same right as they get older.

In Portugal we've call such people "Rabo de Palha"; which roughly translated means people whose ass is made out of (inflammable) straw..

It's actually the stuff a lot of Fundamentalists are made of.

WTF. Ran to the Belgium Embassy? Are you kidding me? Too bad those journalists didn't have a bomb in their cameras...
