An American lady, "Elina Emily", converted to Shia Islam in Imam Reza (AS) holy Shrine on Thursday, and then adopted Zaynab as her new name.
"4 years ago I began researching on Islam. Since then I've found that Islam is a comprehensive religion," Emily said.
Expressing her hope to show the truth of Islam to her family and friends she said: "It's my desire that one day my family and friends, by finding more about Islam, became unsure about their religious beliefs, especially Christianity, and seek to understand the facts."
"Unfortunately, what is being available for the modern followers of Jesus and Moses, as the Bible and the Torah, are distorted books and no longer God's word. So they do not have the comprehensive book that we have in Islam," Emily added.
