A different type of conversion....

Jews who convert to Islam always make good copy. Religious Jews who convert to Islam even more so (one example I remember from a couple of years ago involved a clearly confused former Satmar Chossid who moved from Brooklyn to Israel, became a follower of Ovadia Yosef and then was converted, together with his wife and four kids, by a Muslim cleric he met on an Internet chatroom). Now, we have the 'extremist settler' who began by debating religion with a Palestinian garage owner and ended up converting to Islam and moving to a Palestinian area of Hebron.
My favorite quote from the AP article:

After his conversion to Islam and marriage to Sabena [a Muslim -- MS], Mahadi's life among the Jews of Kiryat Arba became increasingly fraught.

Wow. Who could have seen that one coming?
