Taylor became a Muslim about 20 years ago and chose the Shia religion, she considers unity among different Islamic communities to be a basic need for all Muslims, including Australians.

• She states one of her beautiful narratives about how she became a Muslim and says:

I was fascinated by the personality of Ali bin Abi Talib (a.s).

This attraction caused me to start my studies about the religion of Islam and the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and eventually I became a Muslim.

Then I wanted to choose my religion, so I went to the different religions of Islam, including the four Sunni religions, I did not find Ali (a.s) whom I knew in any of them until I came to Shiism.

I had just reached that true beloved and that original spirituality that I had been looking for long time ago
