Cowards? Unless you have lived under the terror of fundamentalist Islam, u will never know! When ur women are raped, children killed there is so much little choice than conversion. There was a time in Kashmiri under the tyrant Islamic ruler Butshikan that tonnes of "sacred thread" of killed Hindus were burnt in a mass ceremony & there were only 11 families of pandits left. Rest were either killed, converted, or fled to India. Kashmiri Hindus have suffered under their muslim rulers like no HIndu in INdia has. Please don't pass judgements like that.
