JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia – Former American socialite, Paris Hilton has converted to Islam, her spokesman, Ian Brinkham, has revealed to CBS news.

The American socialite’s personal spokesman Ian Brinkham, announced on CBS News that “She has been toying with the idea for quite a while now and when she was imprisoned at Century Regional Detention Facility in 2007, she encountered a few people who had already converted”.

No one knows for sure whether she converted or not, but Paris claims that she’d like to spread the words of the Qur’aan around the world, while opening an Islamic school in Beverly Hills this July to encourage more Hollywood celebs to go on a spiritual quest. The hotel heiress decided to ditch her old life.

Speaking from an Islamic study retreat in Jeddah, she said: “I have now found total peace in my life. Before, I used to be known as an STD-ridden streetwalker , a ‘hoe’ and a person of loose morals, but now, things have changed. Allah be praised.” “Forget Scientology or Kaballah.

“Forget Scientology or Kaballah. This is the religion to be in now. I’m not going to be wearing a piece of red string on my wrist or walk around like a robot talking to Xenu. Islam is the new
must-have religion, and I’m going to spread the word of the Koran to everyone,” an excited Paris Hilton said.

Paris Hilton also plans to change her name to ‘Tahirah’ which means ‘Pure, chaste’ in Arabic. Her Islamic school will open in July and is set to become a popular Hollywood spiritual haunt for many celebrities.

Well, I guess we’ll all have to wait and see if she really wants to be Muslim, or just thinks its “hot” to convert!
