questions about God she grappled with during her Catholic upbringing This thread has taught me lots of people brought up Catholic drop their faith for an alternate. Like you, for instance. I don't know enough about that church to know why.

she struggled with Christianity and was attracted to what she calls Islam's simplicity. Another one.

slaves to the ideals of feminine beauty dictated by society I think we can understand what sort of woman is attracted to a faith that hides her.

Speaking personally, one of the kids had a friend, Jewish, who converted to Islam. His mother is Orthodox and his father is a guy who is a hustler (the kind that sues over slips and falls) who apparently turned Messianic Jewish after getting into trouble fencing stuff at his pawn shop. After having a son convert to Islam, they made sure the younger daughters got Jewish educations. The kid had a terrible self-image, though he's very bright. Thin, premature balding, can't get a girl. I believe he figured he'd be able to get a wife as a Muslim but the Muslims hate him.
