Never forceful conversions in India
by Indian on May 19, 2007 02:25 PM

Many hardliners on this message board are uneducated about the topic of muslim conversions. There were never forceful conversion in India.

Even now Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world...see the latest examples of recent times:

Mohammad Ali the boxer, did he convert to Islam by force?

Cat Stevens did he convert to Islam by force?

Sohaib Webb did he convert to Islam by force?

Hamza yousuf did he convert to Islam by force?

Yousuf Youhanna cricketer did he convert to Islam by force?

How many examples do you want?

If Khilji/Slave/Mughal Dynasty wanted to do forceful conversions it would have been fairly easy for them....don't you think 500 years are NOT enough for any kingdom to forcefully convert all to any religion?

Do some math:

According to people like you, you say now Muslims are 15%

So, 50 years before were they 7%
So, 100 years before 2.5% (remember contraception was not common 100 years before)

So 200 years before (1800 AD) Muslims were 0.5%

Go another 100 years back (1700 Aurangzeb)....Muslims were 0.01

Go another 100 years back (1600 Akbar's period) ....Muslims were 0.001%


So do you think great kings of Mughals were able to convert only 0.01 % of the population? Ridiculous.

Bottom line if they want they could have done at least 20% of population to forcefully convert.....by the time of Aurangzeb.....but that never happened....


The main reason of conversion in India happened due to sufi saints of Islam.
