Islam - Current Day > Forcible Conversions; Temple Becomes Mosque - Pakistan

Muslims Forcibly Convert 102 Hindus to Islam

and Convert Their Temple into a Mosque

BY FAISAL MALIK

Muslims in Pakistan continue to subjugate minorities; recently they have converted 102 Hindus, men, women and children, to Islam in forced conversions. The Hindus were converted in a town called Golarchi in the Sindh district. Furthermore, the Hindu temple was converted into a mosque and all the idols were destroyed, in order to demonstrate to the Hindus that they are inferior. As the Koran states, it’s the Muslims’ religious duty to get rid of “fitnah” (Surah 8:39), which is “affliction,” “conflict,” or “strife”.

It appears they interpret that as being the authority to abolish all non-Muslim religions.

All of these barbaric practices and the Islamic aim of global domination originates from the Koran and its hatred of non-Muslims. In the past, Jihadis such as Aurangzeb conquered and enslaved Hindus. A great book to read on this subject is Robert Spencer’s The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS. The Koran repeatedly states that non-Muslims are the worst of creatures (8:55 and 98:6). The Koran states that Muslims have to “kill the polytheists wherever you find them’’ (9:5). The only way religious groups such as Hindus, Sikhs and others who believe in multiple Gods can live securely in an Islamic state is through conversion to Islam. If they reject an invitation to convert to Islam, then the penalty is death. This is unlike the situation of the People of the Book, such as Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians: polytheists are not given the option of paying the jizya. They only have one option, to convert or face the Islamic zulfiqar (sword) and be beheaded.

Kill or subjugate non-Muslims

Moreover, Islam also commands that Muslims wage war against those who worship idols, because they are the “allies of Satan” (4:76). The message of domination and tyranny within Islam is quite clear. Muslims have to ensure that Islam prevails and that “fitnah” is destroyed. Muslims are rewarded for killing disbelievers, as it is an act of “sunnah,” accepted practice as established by the Koran and the teachings of Mohammed. The aim of Jihad is very clear: its goal is to kill or subjugate anyone who is considered to be opposed to the will of Allah.

Imran Khan 

Meanwhile, in the case of mass conversion and the rape of religious minorities that is all too often perpetrated by Muslims, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan has been silent. He is a terrorist sympathiser himself: he was allied with the notorious Taliban and referred to Osama bin Laden as a “martyr”. In addition, Imran is also gradually preparing the Pakistani Jihadis to infiltrate and destroy India, in order to complete Mohammed’s prophecy of Ghazwa -E-Hind. Imran Khan supports terrorism himself, but is enraged about heroic freedom fighters such as Geert Wilders drawing a cartoon of Mohammed; Imran is trying to enforce blasphemy laws in Europe. The mentality of the Jihadi is never to compromise in working to fulfill Islam’s aim of global Jihad in order to impose Sharia everywhere. The forced mass conversion of Hindus and other religious minorities is horrific, yet none of the international mainstream media will focus upon or even highlight this barbaric issue, because of political correctness. They don’t want to appear ‘’Islamophobic’’, so there is no outrage against this Jihad.

Pakistan, and some neighbouring areas, are full of devout Muslims who can be triggered into radicalism, and terrorism, at the drop of a hat. There are so many stories on this blog as well as my Child Sex Abuse blog, documenting the madness of Muslims in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and elsewhere in South Asia. 

War on Christianity - Pakistan Christians Denied Food Aid in CV-19 Lockdown

International Christian Concern (ICC) reports Pakistani Christians were denied food aid amid the COVID-19 crisis in the fourth incident ICC has documented since Pakistan was placed on lockdown by authorities seeking to combat the pandemic.

According to a video post on Facebook, Christians were denied food aid on April 2 in a village situated on the Raiwind road, near Lahore. A local pastor confirmed the incident to ICC.

In the Facebook video, a young Christian man claims that a local mosque committee distributed food on April 2, however, village Christians were told to leave the mosque compound because the food aid was meant for only Muslims.

“If this is the situation, then what are the arrangements for Christians?” the Christian asked in the Facebook video. “Who is going to feed them? Are we not citizens of the same country?”

“Denying food aid and discriminating among citizens is a crime,” Aftab Hayat, a Pakistani NGO leader, told ICC. “Christians often face discrimination and are victims of religious hatred. However, the situation for Christians in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis is alarming and becoming worse. Therefore, the authorities must take note of the developing situation.”

Jihad Watch previously reported on two other such incidents, one on April 1st and one on April 7th, as well as on April 11th an incident in which Christians were forced to make the Islamic profession of faith to get food aid.

Was Forced Conversion to Islam Really “Historically Rare” in India?

BY HUGH FITZGERALD Jihad Watch

Max Rodenbeck

Here is an exchange between Todd Caldecott and Max Rodenbeck in the Letters Column of The New York Review of Books, on the latter’s claim (in a previously-published review of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Heretic: Why Islam Needs A Reformation), that the Muslim practice of forced conversion was “historically rare” and “revived only recently by ultra-extremist groups such as Boko Haram in Nigeria or ISIS in Iraq.” Caldecott provides, by way of answer, an impressively horrifying list of just some of the recorded instances of mass murder of Hindus in India and the mass destruction of Hindu temples and libraries:

For example, in the thirteenth century, Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khilji destroyed the ancient university of Nalanda, killing all the Buddhist monks and nuns, taking literally three months to burn every single book in the university’s library. Imagine if ISIS or al-Qaeda killed everyone on campus at Harvard or Yale, and burned all the lecture halls, libraries, churches, synagogues, and cultural institutions: such was the untold impact on India, in almost every part of India, for a thousand years.

If you are looking for a reason for 'the dark ages' that is a pretty good clue.

Similar examples of forced conversions and brutality can be found during the reigns of Mahmud Khalji of Malwa (1436–1469 AD), Ilyas Shah (1339–1379 AD), Babur (1483–1530 AD), and Sher Shah Suri (1486–1545 AD), all of whom destroyed temples, killed non-Muslims, and forced the conversion of entire communities. Even during the so-called sulah-i-kul (“peace with all”) initiated by Mughal Emperor Akbar (1542–1605 AD), his son Shah Jahan, known for his supposed monument to love, had almost a hundred temples destroyed in the ancient city of Varanasi alone. Jahan’s son Aurangzeb brought an end to any pretense of this institutionalized peace, and went on a rampage, killing Hindus, destroying temples, and placing severe restrictions on already impoverished Hindu cultural institutions.

Caldecott concludes: “Hopefully, in light of this evidence, Mr. Rodenbeck can reevaluate his claim that the forced conversion in Islam is a ‘historically rare practice.'”

In his reply, Rodenbeck concedes the point at once:

Regarding forced conversion and Islam, it is far from my intent to whitewash a long and mixed record. I stand corrected in my injudicious use of the word “rare.” There are indeed numerous instances of forced conversion to Islam…

But then he goes on to insist, backtracking from his backtracking, that in the case of India, the large number of Hindus who remained testify to an absence of “forced conversions.” What they testify to, in fact, is not to Muslim mildness but to the following:

The Hindu population of India was very large, the number of Muslim invaders comparatively very small. Conversion of such numbers took time; what impresses is not how few Hindus became Muslims but how many. There are now 840 million Hindus in historic India (India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh) – lands once almost entirely Hindu (with a small admixture of Buddhists). And there are now 502 million Muslims in historic India (India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh), where at the beginning of the eighth century there were none. Caldecott thinks the more telling figure is that of the 502 million Muslims; Rodenbeck would have us be impressed that the Muslims left so many Hindus alive, which he thinks shows the “absence of forced conversions” rather than being simple testimony to the size of the task.

The definition of “forced conversion” ought to include not only conversion at the point of a sword or a scimitar, but all those conversions by Hindus in India to avoid the jizyah and the host of other disabilities imposed on those Hindus who were allowed to live as a matter of policy. But why were those Hindus allowed to live? Not out of the goodness of Muslim rulers’ hearts, as Rodenbeck implies, but in order to have enough people to continue paying the jizyah, on which the Muslim state relied.

Rodenbeck seems to think that the survival of any non-Muslims under Muslim rule, no matter how few, testifies to Muslim mildness. He swerves from his discussion of India to the East Indies (present-day Indonesia), where he claims – correctly –that on the island of Bali, 85% of the 4 million Balinese are Hindus. But that is the only island, out of hundreds, where the Hindus held out. Surely more meaningful is the fact that Hindus now constitute less than 2%, and Buddhists 0.8%, of the overall population of Indonesia (now 260 million) that, before the Muslim traders arrived, was 100% Hindu and Buddhist.

K. S. Lal and other historians, both Indian and Western, have calculated that more than 80 million Hindus were killed by Muslims during 250 years of Mughal rule in much of India. Rodenbeck does not address this issue of genocide at all. Perhaps, since those tens of millions of Hindus were not subjected to “forced conversion,” he may think these figures are not relevant to the discussion — after all, they were quite dead.

And this discussion didn't even touch on Islam's march across North Africa or the middle east.

Nigeria’s Anti-Christian Jihad in Numbers: 11,500 Dead, 13,000 Churches Destroyed

Two points to take home with you from this report:
1. Christians are being martyred today, probably as much as at any time in history
2. The Islamic crusade to convert all of Africa is still ongoing

A new report offers some startling statistics on the devastation wrought by Muslims on the Christian population in Nigeria, with 11,500 Christians killed, a million displaced and 13,000 churches destroyed or shut down in the last 15 years.

The 48-page report titled “Crushed but Not Defeated: The Impact of Persistent Violence on the Church in Northern Nigeria,” documents the extent of Christian persecution in Nigeria due to targeted violence by Islamic extremists as well as other more moderate Muslims. The document was released after extensive on-the-ground research by Open Doors, a non-profit group devoted to assisting persecuted Christians throughout the world.

The comprehensive study reveals that decades of religious violence directed at the Christian community has had an even larger impact on the Church in Northern Nigeria than previously thought. The violence against Christians in the region has resulted in the deaths of “between 9,000 to 11,500 Christians,” which the report calls “a conservative estimation.” A large number of Christian properties and businesses have been destroyed, the document continues, “including 13,000 churches that have either been destroyed or closed down.”

Moreover, according to the report, 1.3 million Christians in Northern Nigeria “have become internally displaced or have settled in other areas of Nigeria in search for safety and security” since 2000.

One of the more frightening revelations from the report is the finding that the executioners are not just from the well-known Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram, but comprise many other more “moderate” Muslims as well.

The sources of violence against Christians in Northern Nigeria are diverse, yet have one thing in common. They are “connected through a common religious denominator: defending northern Muslims’ interests, Muslim identity and the position of Islam,” the report states.

“Not just radical Islam, Boko Haram being the most notable example, but also Muslim Hausa-Fulani herdsmen and the Northern Muslim political and religious elite are also major actors of targeted violence towards the Christian minority,” the report continues.

In part, this violence derives from the historical “migration of Muslims into non-Muslim territories in northern Nigeria to promote the Islamic religious and missionary agenda in Islamizing all parts of northern Nigeria,” it states.

Between 2000 and 2001, twelve Northern states implemented or began more fully enforcing Sharia law, which created fear and marginalization among the substantial Christian minority population of around 30 million.

Radical Islamic groups did not emerge in Northern Nigeria until the 1980s, when Nigerian scholars and students returned from Arabic countries influenced by Wahhabi and Salafist teaching. Each year, thousands of West African Muslims get free scholarships to pursue their studies in Arab countries, which has had a major impact on Nigerian culture.

Nigerian Muslims were also encouraged by the successful Islamic revolution of Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran (1979), which many took as evidence that radicalization can bring about social change. “The ideal of a pure form of Islam in which Sharia was applied to society in order to create justice and equal opportunities for all, appealed to the imagination of those outside the privileged Northern elite,” the report states.

Though the document goes into great detail, analyzing the situation in a number of specific towns and cities and examining numerous individual cases, the general picture that emerges is one of ongoing, systematic persecution of Christians by Muslims in the Nigerian north.

Such data will make it more and more difficult to assert that the violence committed against Christians in Muslim nations is not religiously motivated.

Some quick history

Islam spread across North Africa in the 7th century - the first century of Islam
Early in the 8th century they crossed the Strait of Gibraltar into Spain
Their MO was to force conversion and slaughter those who refused

In the tenth century Islam spread down through west Africa mainly through peaceful means
It reached the Horn of Africa in the 9th century and Mozambique in the 12th century


Islam only crossed deeper into Malawi and Congo in the second half of the 19th century

Now it is trying to employ the tactics of the 7th century to take over Northern Nigeria as well as parts of Chad, Niger, and Cameroon.

Islam is moving into southern Africa through immigration. 

It took the Crusades to stop them from conquering Europe, but there doesn't seem to be any will to embark on a crusade in Africa. 

We seem content to let Boko Haram and other fanatical groups slaughter Christians by the dozens or hundreds, and raze their villages til there is nothing left.

Man Shaved, Paraded on Donkey for ‘Forcefully Converting’ Hindus to Christianity

Members of militant Hindu group Bajrang Dal kidnapped and maimed a Christian man in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh for allegedly converting Hindus to his own faith. The mob shaved off the man’s hair and eyebrows and paraded him through the town.

The crowd accused Awdhesh Kumar Savita of luring Hindus on the pretext of attending a satsang, a religious group meeting traditional for Indian religions, where they were allegedly forced to consume beef and made to walk on pictures of Hindu gods and goddesses to prove their conversion to Christianity.

The victim of last week’s attack was eventually rescued when local police superintendent N. Kolanchi reached the spot of the incident in Jalaun District, Uttar Pradesh. In a statement to local media, Kolanchi said that five assailants were arrested, along with a barber who had been hired to shave Awadhesh’s head.

Awadhesh denied that he had forced anyone to convert to Christianity and filed an official complaint against some 25 Bajrang Dal members and 200 unidentified people, who witnessed his torture.

“I have been practicing Christianity for the last few years. But I have never insisted on converting anybody,” the 35-year-old was quoted as having told the police.

Sangam Jatav, one of the assailants who filed a counter-complaint, alleged that one month ago Awadhesh and some of his friends “promised me a job and financial help if I agreed to meet some of their associates. But on reaching there, they took me to a church and forced me to walk on the posters of Hindu gods and goddesses and eat beef,” the 30-year-old said. He added that there were six persons in the church at that time and they declared that he had been converted to Christianity because he had eaten beef.

This 'militant Hindu group' obviously knows nothing about Christianity except that they don't like it. There is no possibility that this guy's story is true, but we shouldn't be surprised, they made up lies about Jesus too, before they crucified Him.

Rejoice Awdhesh, you have been counted worthy.

So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for His name. Acts 5:41.

The police superintendent said that the rest of the group involved in the proceedings “are currently hiding out” while the police are “conducting raids to arrest them.” He also said the police are probing the charges that Awadhesh was forcing conversions.

Jalaun District is home to many religious communes, and is sensitive in terms of religion, with even minor incidents apt to spark unrest. There are 41 big temples in Jalaun town, compared to only 33 schools and colleges.

The Bajrang Dal group is known for enforcing a program of reconversion to Hinduism in the area. Forced reconversion, no doubt!
