Arlen Specter Converts To Islam, Becomes Woman
Arlen Specter Converts To Islam, Becomes Woman

Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA), fresh on the heels of his conversion to the Democratic Party, switched religious and gender affiliations to Islam and female, respectively, on Wednesday. Once one of the most senior and influential Republican Senators, Specter has suddenly become the Senate's most junior Democrat Muslim female.

"My differences with the Christian religion and the male sex were irreconcilable," said Specter, who legally changed his name to Habibi al-Jazeera on Wednesday. "And with Allah's help, the Senate will re-grant my seniority and power."

The decision to switch parties, religions and sexes confused many members of the legislative body, as al-Jazeera was originally slated to become the chairman of a powerful appropriations committee. As a junior Muslim female senator, however, many more senior, male, Christian Democrats voiced concern about al-Jazeera's leadership experience.

"Personally, I think it is a great step for a Muslim woman to join the Democratic Party," said Senator Harry Reid (D-NV). "But to let a new Senator take control of a powerful committee before she has proven herself is irresponsible. We have no way of knowing if Habibi al-Jazeera will legislate like Arlen Specter."
