Conversion or a business opportunity
by Sriram Ramarathnam on Dec 28, 2007 01:49 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

How is it that one finds no preacher or evangelist in Kashmir or old Hyderabad or any other Muslim colony trying to convert the way they do elsewhere in India?
Should say Indonesia, Malaysia Saudi etc too are very fertile grounds for the Pope to "harvest souls". I have hardly come across these born again churches etc in Muslim dominated areas in India.
If one were to extend the marketing angle to this, this harvesting goes on only in those "markets" where the missionaries have an access. In Muslim dominated areas and Kashmir, I shudder to think as to what would have happened to these preachers had they done an Orissa there. What would CPM say then?

The silence of the christian friends (who believe in conversion) and our communist / secular friends to respond to you itself shows what fate awaits those who dare to convert a Muslim.

If anyone leave the faith, they have the most extreme punishment for that. An act of apostasy is not looked upon kindly by them.

So no missionary ever tries to convert a muslim in an area where they are in significant numbers.

It can happen with only Hindus because of the cowardice of our leaders who have broken this society into fragments for their greed.
