Love Jihad

This article is very interesting because it follows a man dedicated to stopping the Muslim influence (through erratic means...). His unconventional ways show the extremes some people go to eradicate a force they don't approve of. The man in this article seemed goofy (not necessarily a good thing) yet it did bring to light the split of Muslims and Hindus in India. While this is the word of one radical Hindu, the truth of the matter may be plausible. The article mentions altercations that led to death and harm between the two groups. A serious problem that plagues India today.

“We are not against love, Aman-ji. We are against deception and forcible conversion,” he said. He referred to Muslim Bollywood superstars with Hindu wives. “In most cases, the women are brainwashed and converted. Like Indira Gandhi.”

“Indira Gandhi?”

“Yes, she was married to Feroze Gandhi – but he was actually Feroze Khan, a Muslim. She was the first victim of love jihad.”

“But Feroze Gandhi was Parsi.”

“That’s what you think, Aman-ji, that’s just what you think. Everyone knows Feroze Gandhi Khan was a Muslim. It’s all over the internet.”
