It is really amazing to see people here fighting over religion to prove superiority of their race/religion by showing the others in bad light (well accept it or not, we all might have different religions but we are part of the same race)! I don't believe in any worldly religion, from the worlds' perspective u can call me atheist; but, I believe in the philosophy of being a good human, irrespective of religious beliefs. I am Indian by the way, majority of people posting here are Pakistani; going gaga over the conversion on a Hindu girl to Islam in India by her own will n trying to portrait this case as universal one (more importantly to mock Hinduism)! As in, there are no forced conversions in Pakistan! Be happy for this particular case coz this certainly was willful conversion but feel sorry for thousands of "Rinkle Kumaris" of Pakistani; who, even though the daughters of Pakistan, have always been violated and their violation being hushed to protect national pride! Can you not feel to pain of these girls and the trauma/humiliation of their family members? At this particular moment (the time I writing it n the time u r reading) some of them might be getting raped (legally), without any hope of returning to their family.
"SubhanAllah" a word that one could see more then 50% of posts on this topic. To all these people "in the name of Allah" should you not criticize forced conversions to Islam as well? Isn't it your moral responsibility to call a spade a spade? I would have appreciated people appreciating her conversion and also raising the issue of forced conversion which still is going on unabashed in Pakistan, on the same forum. Alas! we are more religious then humane. We can use one instance and extrapolate it to a level of universal truth (to glorify our religion) but we won't condemn wrongdoings done by the people of our religion coz it will give chance to others to denounce our religion. And how can people following our faith be portrayed in evil light? SO the message comes out very loud "no forced conversion, Hindus should see even in India Hindu women converted to Islam (by her own will), why do they have to cry when the country is Pakistan (even though in the heart of hearts we all know the actual truth)"! Is it really so? Are conversions of minorities in Pakistan always by free will (agreed, some of them might actually b "free will conversion"; but, by enlarge most of the girls from minority community are abducted and forced into Islam)?
I see Hindu people criticizing Islam, and Muslims mocking Hinduism! is this the only thing we are best at? can't we cross-over the limits of religion and be more humane and start criticizing any wrongdoing keeping religion at bay? Or our criticism will always b, as it has always been, biased (based on religion).
I certainly ask these kinds of questions from myself every day, Can't all of us; for once, go through a few moments of introspection and feel whether or not the supernatural power we believe in, would want us to be a bit more compassionate/open hearted and feel for the pains of the victims (without any bias to religion) and raise the issues of weaker sections of our respective societies?
