Conversion is violence

Swami Dayananda Saraswathi of Arsha Vidya Ashram wrote a booklet called "Conversion is Violence" and put forth some very good arguments against conversion.

One simple test - ask the Missionaries to try and convert Muslims.

Let us see what response they will draw.

Let us see what response the politicians will have for such a scenario.

This is not the way to protect Hinduism, it is defaming hinduism. If u r willing to protect hinduism, then you go and asked the people who is converted to christian or muslim, why it is so, It is due to hindu society is not accepting them.
Also money or sword cannot change one's faith.
If some body changing faith on money then he will comeback to old faith after money transfer is over. But it is not happening, -- WHY
THINK TWICE
and work for good human and equality in the society.
If uu have full faith in ur relegion, u will never change ur faith

You did not understand the message.
1. I wanted to convey that the missionaries will not do so because of the reaction they will have to face from Muslims

2. Politicians will find it difficult to support missionaries when Muslims are targeted for conversion.

3. I am not at all saying that there are no weaknesses in Hinduism. It has as many weaknesses as Islam or Christianity have. We will overcome our weaknesses. But that does not mean others have a sanction to lure people to convert.
