Recently we have been hearing a lot of the “Love Jihad” concept in which Islamic Terrorists are converting Hindu/Christian girls by pretending to be in love with them. But if you look at certain events related to the “Love Jihad” concept you will be forced to doubt the existence of “Love Jihad”
The argument for the “Love Jihad” concept is that its a Muslim conspiracy to increase their follower base. How efficient is a system in which you pretend that you are in love, just to get a convert. Even if you convert a girl for marriage, will you be able to change her mind ? Will she continue to be a Muslim when she finds out that she was cheated ?
I dont think “Love Jihad” exists. Its a propaganda against Muslim youth who might be genuinely falling in love with Hindu/Christian girls. Its a fact that majority of the Muslim youth look much handsome than their counterparts in Hinduism/Christianity; something that can be attributed to the Arabic genes in their community.
How can you say if someone’s love is genuine or not ? The supreme court has asked the police to look into the matter. This is going to be misused by parents of Hindu/Christian girls who has got a Muslim lover. They will exploit the situation to harass and break up the relationship. Consider being charged with POTA or some other anti terrorist law, just because you loved a girl.
The Kerala Catholic Bishop Council is even willing to cooperate with the RSS to prevent such conversions. What a great partnership !!!! Maybe we should ask RSS to give armed training to Jesus youth and KCYM kids.
Love Jihad is not real. Its created by the RSS/Christian master minds to prevent conversions to Islam due to marriage. They are exploiting the “Terrorism” Tag associated with Islam to their own benefit.
A Muslim friend of mine who is in love with a Christian girl recently said to me that he is afraid to disclose their relationship to the girls parents cos of this “Love Jihad” concept. What if the girls father files a complaint accusing him of being a love jihad terrorist ?
Even if u get converted to a Muslim,you can always convert back to your original one isn’t it?So whats the big deal???The issue is cheating gals,thats all.

I’ve never heard of this before. But wow, I’m incensed that the Court, which is a ‘secular’ institution even decided to give this preposterous concept any of it’s valuable time.
Though, has a law come out as such? I’d like to read the court case history.

It is funny! Conversions and moves against them were always funny irrespective of the religions behind it. I always wonder why people of any religion needs bigger number of followers to prove that they are the ‘right’ ones. On the contrary every leader let it be Buddha, Mohammed or Jesus had only a minority of the society as their followers at their peak time. Once the religions started increasing membership they started getting diluted.
It would have been great, if our constitution had a clause to not force any religion on children until they are 18 and let them choose their own at 18.

well said..
felt like the same..
Muslim friends of mine (I’m at Saudi Arabia) were laughing..
and the same fear with few guys, whom are in love with girls of other religion..
But there may be some cases.. as there are crooked minds every where in our society..

Tried Googling Love Jihad. It’s the ‘for’ argument everywhere.

Good god Kenney! Love Jihad?
Scarcity of Topics to blog?
Loved your punch line. Beautiful! “The Kerala Catholic Bishop Council is even willing to cooperate with the RSS to prevent such conversions”
Can you give one single proof?
Do u know that a catholic can marry a non-Christian at church if both parties wishes so… with one simple condition that they would be open minded in deciding childs religion?

Ha! Ha!. It sells well if you put ‘Jihad’ or ‘Terrorism’ in front of your news caption. I guess Kenny wasn’t trying the same to get more traffic.

hi,
the problem of conversion is effecting India. Its not only the muslim so called Love Jihad but the Cristian missionaries are also converting Hindus to Christianity in the name of changing life.
I respect Cristian missionaries that they are doing noble job of helping poor. But this is not good asking them to convert or advertise to convert. & they will convert as they are getting food. But this is wrong. Helping other without self interest is noble job.
You will argue that every one is converting on there own will or never accept the fact. But I am also the victim of this conversion propaganda. I was asked to convert to Cristian and explain the benefits of converting to Cristian. “Spreading love with condition”.
I am a follower of a famous Hindu guru Paramhansa Yogananda Jee. He teaches lesson from Gita & bible and we use to meditate before lord Krishna, Jesus , paramnhasa yogananada, lahiri mahasheye etc. I need not have to convert to Christianity to pray Jesus.
The Cristian & muslims are in race to extend there people majority base. But if a Hindu protest then the world will Question his/her secularism. That’s very sad part of “pseudo secular mindset” of India.
Please save India from all bullshit propaganda of castism, religionism, reginolism, linguism etc.
Make India a better place to live.

I think its the time to close the chapter ” Love Jihad “, it will affect the innocent muslim youths,
But the fact is Minority Terrorism in Kerala is Too Strong. Beware about NDF. They will destroy our Nation and their activities will affects the innocent Muslims.
Comment by Anish K.S — November 2, 2009 @ 9:13 am
I entirely agree with you. It’s sad that the Catholic/Christian groups too are actually supporting the RSS on this issue, and the worst part is the courts’ attitude. It’s a major blow to women’s freedom of choice in marriage…
Do look at my take on the issue –

Your comment about the position of Catholic Bishops Conference(KCBC) is interesting. There is a lot of confusion about the stand of the church on this because of a statement issued by Johny Kochuparambil, on behalf of the Social Harmony Vigilance Commission of KCBC. Some so-called leaders of Christian organizations existing on paper only, too issued statements. I am told by an insider that this Johny Kochuparambil who issued the KCBC vigilance Commission statement is very fond of issuing such statements at the slightest provocation. They are generally ignored by the media. This one was picked up by them they found it the right one for their trade of sensationalism. Most of the Bishops would have have seen Johny’s statement for the first time in the following day’s papers.
Incidentally, “Satyadeepam” weekly, the mouth-piece of Kerala Church, and the largest circulated catholic publication in India, carrued two articles, including one by its Editor Fr. Kuriakose Mundatan, criticising this unnecessary controvercy. Another Columnist of the Weekly, Lekha Rose, criticized Johny Kochuparambil’s statement and called the whole controvercy as “chase after a non-existant black cat in the dark”. This weekly, carried not even a single line supporting the allegations behind this controvercy. Satyadeepam is published by the Ernakulam Archdiocese and Cardinal Varkey Vithayaththil, Doyen of Catholic Bishops of Kerala is its patron.

hi,
girls has the full freedom to choose their love..
if they choose muslims, surely they are more attractive and powerfull.
also, they are agressive in bed and give utmost satisfaction to partners..
that is why even married woman love them and share everything with them.
there is no jihad or anhyting in it, puely love and lust..
an average hindu man is week in sex compaired to muslims..
they have more passion for sex and libido.
move over they are circumcised and can act more time in bed..
this is the real fact,
so naturally woman love them and choose them rather than hindu boys..

Comment by reebu — January 17, 2010 @ 10:08 pm
We all believe on the statistics….Let deal with the entire issue with a good statistics…Lets take a year on year population in India of Hindu, Muslim and Christain. Maybe from 1947 till date.
If the population of some community increasing at very high rate, there should be good explanation…
Whether we are Hindu, Muslim or Christain, we all have right to enjoy happy life and for we need good family supporting system. Can we pls. keep our mind open and try to understand the real situation.
In the name of religion many thing are happening in this world. Unfortunately many bad thing rather then good thing. So in this world nothing can be ruled out either “Love Jihad” or Someone just exploting the word terrorist. But we as a individual try to take the holistic approach for any situation.
Take the life easy and let us all welcome the ‘Humanity’ as a religion.
As a father i am really worried Man….What kind of future we are giving to our next generation….’Global Warming’…’Global Terrorism’….and the worst is ‘Global Untrust’.
Why can’t we follow the simple Mantra of “Let’s Leave and other Leave’ (Peace, Care & Love) ???
Comment by Dharam — May 22, 2010 @ 11:50 am
Hi Kenney….can your broad minded Muslim friend support his sister being married to a Hindu or Christian guy at any chance?
Please understand that tolerance is not something that reserved for poor Hindu..!
FYI… studies say a major part of Kerala muslims carry only the native genes. They should thank to the great ‘Moplah Riot’ and the great infiltrator Tippu…..! Most Muslims in Kerala have no Arab blood, and they are the descendants of Hindus forcibly converted during Tipu Sultan’s invasion of Malabar. Even today ‘Tipu’s padayottam’ (march) is remembered in the racial memory of Kerala Hindus as a catastrophe spoken of in hushed tones.
Check out some Kerala history at weekends….

‘Conversion’
To change the thought process in terms of culture & faith of an individual.
India is a land of legacies, before the origin of any religion of the world the habitants of Indian subcontinent were highly civilized and their way of life as a human being was termed as ‘Vedic Culture’. This vedic culture was for all the masses speaking different languages & genetic origin. Vedic Culture never patented them with any religious BRAND. Vedic culture is a way of life to make a individual a better person & to guide him towards final destination i.e God’s Realization.
Eventually after the start of Kali Yuga many civilizations under the leadership of particular God realized personality formed different sects and claimed themselves the only way to reach God. This very cause to consider only my belief superior is due to attachment/ delusion and as a policy only person who is above delusion of attachment can attain the Universal truth i.e GOD. Based on this fact any community converting the belief of others in the name of GOD is not serving GOD because GOD is one for all the races.
The communities who are involved in conversions are world known if we take the example of India, Christian Missionaries are working in a organized manner like MNC’s to convert the belief of our fellow brothers & sisters if any one has doubts just check the same on google see the facts of North East, south India, Orissa, Bihar & Madhya Pradesh the process is going on since last 300 yrs. Muslim community for example is multiplying like nuclear fission reaction which is now 30% around as per latest count reports.
History is self explanatory Afghanistan, Pakistan & Bangladesh were the part of India once Upon a time NOW THEY ARE MUSLIM COUNTRIES.
Don’t know why people cant realize these practical facts which are self explanatory.
Based on these facts it wouldn’t be a surprise to any knowledgeable unbiased individual about the fact of Love Jihad to convert, by both Muslims & Christians who actually top the list in doing religious conversions.
Comment by Samrat Mishra — June 20, 2010 @ 5:19 pm
This kind of Love Jihad was actually introduced by Mr. Praveen Togadia (Sangh Parivar Leader) in 1992. He instructed Sangh Parivar members to Love Muslim Girls, convert them into Hindu and have Hindu offspring from Muslim women.
Now RSS and VHP has wing called “Smart Friend” which is in the same business. If the convert a Muslim girl into Hindu, they will get 2-5 lakh rupees at Vijay Dashmi/ Deewali.
These facts are hidden and simply “Muslim Love Jihad” is so called exposed to divert attention of people.
