A PRETTY blonde teen has stunned her mates by converting to Islam and covering up with a full veil.
Catholic Danielle Jones — now Safiyah — ditched her mini-skirts and crop tops and now wears the full face niqab of Muslim women.
The 19-year-old made her shock decision after her step-dad died of a brain tumour. She said it was her Muslim pals and their faith who helped cope with the loss.
And she revealed the decision to convert made her feel “a million times” stronger.
Safiyah, of Bolton, Lancs, said: “I couldn’t stand the way men stared as I walked down the street. Now I feel a million times more empowered wearing my full-face niqab. Nobody is judging me on how my body looks.
“More and more, the Muslim faith seemed to make a lot of sense to me.
“It’s as if I have found the missing piece of a jigsaw.”
The 19-year-old wears the hijab, which covers her head, and sometimes the controversial niqab, the veil which leaves only the eyes visible.
Safiyah, who hopes to act as a mediator between the Muslim and British communities, added: “I don’t miss drinking. I’m happy.”

Comment: Praise be to Allaah, he guides those who are sincere.
I wonder why it's mentioned in the Sun Newspaper?
