A former party-lover has given up cocktails, cigarettes and burlesque dancing and converted to Islam after falling for a Muslim man nine years her junior. In her days of burlesque dancing, she would parade around in nothing but knickers and nipple tassels.
UK DAILY MAIL Mother-of-three Claire Birkill, 37, from Nottingham, overhauled her lifestyle after a trip to Gambia in January where she met fiance, Sarif Jallow, 28.
But since converting, she now covers up in a hijab and says she is ashamed she was once such an exhibitionist. She’s also changed her name by deed poll to Jameela. She said: ‘Before I enjoyed weekly burlesque classes. I would strip down to silky corsets and do sexy dances. Now I’m so ashamed of my past, I can barely look at old photos. I feel like I’ve been reborn.’
Jameela, who has three children aged six, 16, and 18, met her fiance, Sarif, following the breakdown of her first marriage and said it was love at first sight. She explained: ‘My eight-year marriage broke down in 2013 around the time I decided to study tourism at college.’ As part of the course last January, she travelled to the Gambia, West Africa, where she met Sarif.
‘He was a teacher and nine years younger than me but it was love at first sight,’ Jameela said. ‘He was so intelligent and kind. On the last day of the trip in March he told me he loved me. ‘As I left the airport I cried and cried for three hours straight.’
Back home, Jameela, then still Claire, spoke to Sarif on the phone every night and he proposed weeks later. She used to be a Methodist but after listening to Sarif talk about his religion, she decided to research it on the internet and ‘immediately felt a connection’. She said. ‘It’s about peace, empathy, love and kindness, all things I believe in. I realiZed I needed to become a Muslim.’ (Wait’ll they tie you down to perform genital mutilation)
She converted in a special ceremony in June and changed her name to one that’s traditionally Muslim. She has not asked her children to convert, leaving them to make their own decisions on whether they want to follow a path of religion.
She also began observing Ramadan, explaining: ‘It’s a month-long period of prayer, fasting, charity-giving and self accountability for Muslims. It was difficult but incredibly fulfilling. Romantic thoughts are forbidden during Ramadan, so I banned myself from talking to Sarif in daylight hours because I got too turned on by his voice.’
It’s a far cry from her former hedonistic lifestyle. As a young woman, she had a weakness for cigarettes and alcohol and was often promiscuous. She said: ‘Before becoming a mum I’d think nothing about bringing a man home after a night out. Normally it was alcohol-induced but I’d never do it now.
She’s also now given up her hobby of burlesque dancing, which she started in 2012 after signing up for classes at a local dance studio. ‘I wanted to improve my body confidence. I would perform routines, starting off fully dressed and ending up in just silky pants and nipple tassels,’ she explained. ‘I’d never dream of doing it now.
‘Looking at pictures of me in a pink silk basque I see it is very un-Islamic. Islam believes a woman’s body is just for her husband.’
The way she eats and dresses on a daily basis has changed dramatically too. ‘I travel ten miles to ensure I only buy Halal meat from a specialist butcher. I used to joke “don’t wake me up in the morning unless bringing me a bacon butty and coffee” – I’d never say that now. Giving up bacon has been the hardest thing but Halal prohibits it.
‘I always cover my legs as requested to by Islam. I found the headscarf quite restrictive at first. But now I wear it tighter because I want to.’ Jameela said Sarif was ‘heartbroken’ when she told him about her past but she said: ‘He knows how committed I am now and believes I’ve changed.’
Sarif is still living in Gambia and the couple will continue to have a long distance relationship after they marry because Jameela does not want to disrupt her youngest son’s education.
She is often mocked or abused when she goes out in public wearing a hijab. She said: ‘Some friends don’t want to know me anymore and others are refusing to call me by my new name.
‘In the street one person asked why I wasn’t wearing a letterbox, meaning a burkha. It’s so disrespectful. I’ve heard sniggering in the playground when I’ve picked my son up from school and laughed at in Primark by teenage girls.

muslim perverts will drool all over her even if she is covered from head to toe. Honor killing candidate?
Is it just me or do a lot of these women that convert to Islam look like guys? This one has got to be about the 10th case I’ve read about on this site like this.
So sad. I think her kids are the real victims here.
poor stupid girl. there are far different ways to change one’s lifestyle than becoming muslim
does she have that lack of confidence in herself that she has to marry a muslim to be fulfilled
what a doofoos
I just bet that the research she said that she did on islam was guided by HIM, and that HE gave her pro-islamic sites to study. These sites lie, (as they all do), about how good islam is to women, children, and that it promoted brotherhood with all people. I have read/seen some of these sites. They really pile it on.
Starwish, he can’t read or write and she cannot comprehend.
Ah, Shameela….she’ll have rings on her fingers and bells on her toes and a bone in her nose….Ho Ho!…..Only 37?! The stupid skank looks closer to 57!……She now has something to be MORE ashamed of than her past as a burlesque queen; and if not yet, very soon she will awake and find out just what kind of sick twisted demonic ideology she has bought into!….

So he’s a Muslim, and she marries him and converts to his death-cult. Talk about Dumb and dumber!!
She sees “true love”, and he sees a British passport, which is of course a lifetime of leisure on benefits.
Any woman that converts to Islam is actually saying: ” I have totally lost whatever ounce of sense that I ever had.”
The only advantage I can see is that she has now moved from being an educationally sub-normal British citizen , to being possibly one of the brighter Islamic morons, after all, I bet she can read and write after a fashion.
Oops, I just remembered that I mustn’t criticise her now because that would be ” racist” !!
I’d love to hear what her opinion about being a Muslim woman is in a couple of years time ( if she’s still alive ).
Muzzo.
p s Muslim party games:
Islamic hide and seek. Not very successful as no-one can count beyond three.
Islamic pass the parcel. Now this one goes with a bang!!
Islamic musical chairs. Every time the music stops a chair is added. The winner is the one that doesn’t die of exhaustion. This one does go on a bit, though.
Muslim crossword. ( apologies to Spike Milligan ): It has only one square.The clues are: 1 down:-The first letter of the alphabet . 1 across:- The indefinite article.
Muslim puzzle: Comprises only two pieces. ( Not every Muslim can figure this one out.)
Muzzo,
I heard they play a game very similar to pin the tail on the donkey!
( Just a silly comment, so the count doesn’t stay at SIXTY NINE, I shudder to think of this old bag at it. ) 😀
Good taste forbade me, Tee tee!!
No excuse for marrying a Muslim man now- not with websites like this one, Atlas Shrugs and Jihad watch, just to name 3.
My advice to her – DON’T travel to any Islamic country. I am sure that, somewhere, there is a nice pile of stones awaiting her arrival, and a whip being oiled up as we speak.
Heartbreaking what is in store for her children.
Let’s hope there all grown up and not as thick future killer.
Oh, God. Another of allah’s many faults; creating stuff like that. He needs better quality control.

They like ’em fat. i remember years ago when an A—RAB wanted to marry Brooke Shields, but she would have to put on weight. He didn’t get his wish.
This was hilarious.
The author should be writing for Family Guy, Two and a half men.
Stuff like that,
His intentions are more than likely a British passport by virtue of his marriage to this stupid bitch, then marrying three more women as his cult permits, siring loads of kids, obtaining free benefits and free housing, then he will leave her with the lot and be free to do it all again. Stupid is as stupid does, welcome to la la land.
She probably got herself fixed a long time ago so he won’t be getting any kids outta her. Muslim men prize three things- four if you count the ability to get a visa- youth, beauty and fertility and if any of these is missing then she’s bounced out on her butt. He’s gotten his piece of azz and I wouldn’t doubt that he’s got other wives in his home country. It’s like the white trash white woman (also usually grossly overweight) who dates or marries a black man and ends up with a house full of mixed kids and no white man will touch her. I’m not little but I’m 70 pounds lighter than when I was muslim and I had high standards- which is one reason I left Islam!
One ugly fatty, tart, mornon, wooed by a scammer who will marry any old fatty to get a chance to come to England. I am confused. I thought that muslums could have nothing to do with fatty pigs dressed like hookers.
I thought muslims didn’t like dogs?
or Pigs..
Stand him on the left side and her on the right and you have a 10! I’m with Bonni on this one.
I take it that you are refering to their combined IQ as neither look as though they would be the brightest light bulb in the socket
I’m sure this old whore is in love with this freeloader Muslim,but unfortunatly the Muslim is in love with passports and benefits and jeeehad.I can’t see any future for this imbalanced old whore,nothing nice for sure.some people are just so thick it is hard to fathom.will she join him in cleansing the world of infadels. Why can’t the two of them just fuck right of to sandland.
Does anyone in Britain have any brain’s left??? What an idiot.
It is not a religion. It is a primitive cult followed by degenerates.
Why do fat, ugly white women go for the blacks? And a Muslim too. I guess they feel important….for a while until he beats the hell out of her or murders her…according to Allah’s rules….poor foolish girl.
All too familiar- nothing new here to see. She’s either going to be whining that he “married me for a visa” in a few years or she will be like other muslim women I knew who went from muslim man to muslim man trying to find that “good Muslim husband” the mosque promised them. To any woman who wants the handsome muslim man who “loves them for who they are”- get a clue! The only reason he’s with your fat butt is because other women know what he’s up to and will dump him like a hot potato when he shows his true colors and starts controlling and abusing behavior. Go to the gym, learn to dress in a flattering manner and stop acting like a tramp in the bars.
She wanted someone or something to help her develop some self-discipline, quit the drinking, get her life under control, etc. That’s understandable – but why Islam? As you say, there are other things she could have done to work on improving herself. Why was Islam so darn attractive to her? In the long run, she won’t find what she wants or needs there, or with her Muslim husband.
I wonder if many of these women ever realize that and end up leaving it?
I did- it took three years but I got away. It’s been almost 20 years and I hear the same story over and over again.
Ch_ex, that must have been a hard decision and taken a lot of courage (probably rather more than I realize). I very much respect you for your decision. I only wish more Muslim women would look for self-fulfillment, freedom and dignity outside of Islam: It seems to me that it is hard on all its followers, but on women in particular.
was her uterus purified yet?
Hey, when your decision-making in life is so shit, why not revoke it all together by converting to Islam?
Islam: attracting sociopaths, rapists, murderers, pedophiles, and sub intelligent morons for 1400 years.
C’mon you have to admins she looks better in a hijab. Some people are just better off covered.
Spot on! Funny!
This exipper is so fat and ugly She ought to wear a full bhurka, so as not to put normal men of women. She probably couldnt get a decent non muslim husband so she got a scummy muslim…hope he beats her like a good muslim husband should LOL. then dumps her and has a few more wives,,he-he..wonder how she will get on then, cos she cant and wont be able to complain…
She is a desperate despicable woman who is willing to endanger the lives of her kids to marry this UK passport benefits seeking African muslim… My god could she have made a worse choice?! But gathering what we have been told about her life style it sounds about right.. A western pig of a woman meets muslim savage is struck by his “piety” regrets her slutty past and with him will see redemption… Yeah RIGHT! He will rob her blind although she’s on benefits most likely but he’ll get his share, beat her up several times, get another younger wife or suggest marrying her daughter and that’s her life… Very deserving of it I would say.. Not an ounce of pity for this pig of a woman.. Only scorn..disgust for exposing her kids to this lifestyle .. And for bringing in another mouth to feed to the UK! Shame on you! Shame shame!
As disgusting on the inside as on the outside. She does deserve what happens to her.
I’ve never seen two people who deserve each other more.
And, as Samuel Jackson as Ordell Robbie, with a ‘possum-eatin’-sh*t grin on his face, said in “Jackie Brown” describing his druggie girlfriend, “An’ she white too”.
You hit the jackpot there, Sarif, yeah, buddy.
Once with a black……Muslim.
Never go back……. to slim.
Ugly inside, ugly outside. Islam suits her.
I also don’t believe for a second she quit drinking. Wait til she gets busted for booze by her Islamic masters. Whipping time at the Mosque, the Muslims will so enjoy that show.
Right, it’s the cruel and sadistic nature of islam.
Hey ! Don’t knock the lady for trying to better herself ! I’ll bet she’s a lot warmer now that nipple tassels and thongs have been replaced by a headbag, gloves, and layers of long robes.
Besides, all that bumping and grinding is hard work. It’s much easier to be a stand in for the goat.
Classy.
She has what we call over here in my neck of the woods Bonni “a council house grid”. Which translates as facial features like a bag of spanners.
Passport marriage, she’ll be dumped at the earliest opportunity, she’ll probably have another 2 to 3 more children to support too when he disappears.
Just another UGLY OLD BAG in an UGLY OLD BAG.
Fatty also has thee ready made terrorists for the raptor lizard muz. Pedophiles like Morris Dees go to Thailand for young boys. Is Dees a mohammedan ?
Oh oh oh , I am soo oo o o jealous , well , can’t I dream ??
What a smasher , so beautiful . A real colder shower making girl .
Umm m m mm —- perhaps , what do donkeys look like , or , can goats cook ??
eww eww …………..
O dear female minger alert. In fact female bellend alert.
Actually read story again & point I missed was that she has three kids, what a shame for them & us as the UK gets another 3 Ali Bongo converts.
I worry most for the six year old. Her other two kids are 16 and 18, so at those ages hopefully they have enough sense NOT to convert.
some of those pics, i almost puked, i am used to beheading but the destruction of skin in this way, this is still over my power.
Laughed at this a few days ago when it appeared in Daily Mail?
In some ways quite glad she’s converted as it spares the public ever seeing her fat arse again. Also I hope she gets a full burka so her ugly face gets covered.
Best wish would be she pisses of out the country to live in his shithole but just have this niggling feeling that he may want to come to Blighty!
LOL. Why is it always these party animal women that convert to Islam claiming how much they’ve changed? They haven’t got enough sense to realise that other religions like Christianity and Judaism also have women who choose to be modest. As if modesty is an Islamic thing. ‘Victory’ for Islam. Converting a bunch of wayward tarts who are ‘victims’ of western culture (by their own design). What an idiot…
This isn’t going to end well, I suspect. Sad on one level, in that I think this is a story about a fat, ugly, useless slapper past her best-by-date looking for attention in all the wrong places. If she survives, I’m sure by 60 she will look down at her butchered clit and “wonder why?”.
Dumb woman. She once was a tart but now she’s private property of a black guy who is after a green card. Let her piss off to Gambia, never to return. She is a shame to all British. Off course people are laughing behind her back, what does she expect? She made the worst choice she could in her life and wants to be respected for it?? Dream on, you moron.
There are tons of British women married these Gambian. Many Old lonely, women marry these chaps believing the undying love they claim. My sister-in-law a Muslim married a Gambian, 15 years her junior. All her friend are old white women, with young black men carrying their pensions.
What a dreadful shame!
Oogely Doogely, thank heavens she’s covered herself up! Has to be a Daily Mail story – they love these old tarts “falling in love” with some gigolo from Crapsville. Bad news for him is he has to stay married to her for 12 months after he gets his visa, his social security, imports his other wives, mother, father and the rest.
Still attention seeking, loves being stared at in her headsack. Wait for the followup story…coming soon…. “he just used me to get a visa”. Duh.
Assuming he hasn’t offed her first.
Wait until the silly bitch tries to leave when she has grown disillusioned with islam and finds out the real truth, she will get a shock then. Serves her right. If she thinks her children are safe and able to make their minds up about islam, she has another shock in store.
NoMoreMulti – you are correct. All he is after is a visa and all the entitlements, then it will be bye bye Claire.
Exactly. A visa and the rest follows. He worked her real well using a well-known strategy. They target the vulnerable lone female tourist and the rest is easy.
Her, she’s in love with the ‘sex’ and a younger male body. In a couple of years, it’ll wear off.
Ummm yeh can see why the fatty couldn’t find a husband on home soil.
I have read a number of articles about the men from Gambia over the past number of years. 99.9% of them are looking for a green card and tend to target middle aged woman much older than them. Usually divorced foreigners or fat unattractive never been married foreign woman. Gambia is an attraction for these particular women mainly from the UK. Like Thailand and Phillipines is for middled ages and older Western men.
The stories I read were a warning to Western women to be careful as many have been scammed and lost a lot of money marrying these MMohammedan turds. The ultimate goal of these savages is the Green Card to the West.
Looks like this fatty has fallen for one of the many scammers. I can guarantee this story wont end well. Don’t be surprised Bonni if you post another story about this moron. But a “told you so” story.
She deserves what she gets.
This woman is seriously, mentally disturbed, in my opinion. God forbid, if she wants to get herself imprisoned , and forced into a life of forced enslavement and prostitution, that is her business. But she will get her children murdered!! She is such an idiot. She obviously has 2 brain cells and one does not work. I beg her to read the wildly popular book, “A Father’s Betrayal” by Gabriella Gillespie, about her Yemeni , muslim father murdered her English mother in Wales, and then kidnapped , Gaby (Gabriella) and her 2 sisters and took them to Yemen where he sold them into sex/marriage. slavery. One of Gaby’s sisters committed suicide rather than be sold into such a horror-she jumped off the top of a building. After years and years of brutal rapes and beatings, Gaby finally escaped from Yemen with her five children and returned to England in 1992. Gaby will still always have to look over her shoulder out of fear that her father or some other male member of her father’s family could/would murder her!!! There was a case last week or so where a son from a woman’s (I think that it was in India or Pakistan) first marriage came back 30 years later and hacked to death his mother, her husband and two of his half siblings. One half sister survived to tell the authorities who had committed the hatchett job!! Two other excellent books along this vein, are, Betty Mahmoody’s story, “Not Without My Daughter” and Phyllis Chesler’s current book entitled, “An American Bride in Kabul”. Both books are about the disastrous , horrific , bizarre turn of events when 2 American women married muslims from third world countries and returned to those 3rd world countries with their “supposed” Westernized , Islamic husbands. Betty’s story happened in Iran, and a movie staring , Sally Field, was made. Phylli’s story happened in Afghanistan, and I can not wait for the movie to come out. Both Betty and Phyllis can be seen on You Tube!!!
Pam, was Gaby’s other sister able to escape? I hope so.
You people are very disrespectful , R@cist and disgusting , People come in all shapes , sizes & races . I wish the ASTEROID that will Flyby the EARTH this month do land on EARTH just to wipe out you SCUMB@GS
Lol woah we are shaking in our shoes. My guess is you are a big fat assed ugly as shit Trump hating Muslim loving Liberal retard. Do us all a favor go play in some busy traffic…. boom!
