Tali Fahima Joins Islam

Follow Israel news on and .

Tali Fahima, a Jewish Israeli who served a jail sentence for security offenses, converted to Islam Tuesday in a mosque in Umm El Fahm. According to the local Islamic Movement website, Fahima said that “when I saw Sheikh Raed Salah for the first time I felt that something touched me inside. The man did not speak to me, not even once, but the expression on his face and his modesty called me to Islam.”

Fahima, now 34, was placed under administrative detention in 2004 after she crossed the lines into Palestinian Authority territory at the height of Great Terror War launched by Yasser Arafat. She began spending her days in the company of Zakariah Zubeidi, a wanted Fatah terrorist leader from Jenin. She was charged of assisting Zubeidi by translating an IDF document that had fallen into his hands.

She had also declared publicly, upon hearing that Zubeidi was wanted by the IDF, that she intended to serve as his human shield.

She was convicted in December 2005 of supporting a terror organization, assisting the enemy during wartime, contact with a foreign agent, passing information to the enemy and disobeying a legal order, and sentenced to three years in jail. She was released in early 2007.

Fahima follows in the footsteps of Uri Davis, another well known radical leftist who converted to Islam in 2008. Davis has been a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council for decades.

Fahima's name came to mind recently, for many Israelis, when journalist Anat Kam was arrested for suspected treason. The main reason for this, beside the similarity in their alleged deeds, was that Kam sported glasses with the same kind of thick black rims as Fahima. (IsraelNationalNews.com)

i'ad encounter missionaries back in my country who are working under umbrella of NGO's, and they are pretty good in sponsoring to any European country after converting to christianity, but being my personal interest to your suggestion into Judism, i'm more interested in that, rest of the factors, i'll manage. ;)

Is that such a rare phenomenon that needs to be reported? Or is that part of the so needed almost desperate political propaganda? People join and leave religions and political parties by the thousands if not millions every single day!

This "free choice" won't make her life easier, she will be looked upon with suspicious and subject to continuous discrimination.

About 20% of Israelis are Arab, either Christian or Muslim. Although they are not really considered "first class", they are citizens.

Good for her. I believe in freedom of choice. Good that she lives in a country that she is free to convert

Comments every knows their own path and will follow it, if she thinks that is the right thing then good for her, for me I think the religion is our own no one to fix it for us we pray only to Almighty God no one else, and that is the purpose of our being, May God bless us all
