Hindu girls in UK targeted for Islam…

If you thought forced conversions of Hindu girls happened only in Pakistan (read my post on “Sindh’s Stolen Brides”) think again. Earlier today, a friend sent me the link to this story from a newspaper in London which reports how Hindu girls are being targeted by Islamic extremists.
.
Excerpts:
Thursday, February 22, 2007 ‘Hindu women being targeted for Islam’
.
“…Muslim extremists who try to force teenage Hindu girls to convert to Islam are being targeted in a new police crackdown. The recruiters – often paid £5,000 for each success – are stepping up ‘aggressive conversion’ tactics, especially around universities, religious leaders believe.
Some young students have been beaten up and forced to abandon their courses by extremists, Hindu leaders told a security conference.
Islamic extremists invited the girls on dates before beginning campaigns of ‘terrorism’ until they converted, they claimed.
.
Ramesh Kallidai, from the Hindu Forum of Britain, said: ‘Extremist Muslims make life miserable for Hindu girls. ‘Some are petrified; they feel these men have complete hold on them. One girl was beaten up in the street and others have been forced to leave university.’
The problem was most common in cities such as Birmingham, Leeds and Bradford, he added, while London universities had ‘at least two or three cases’ each.
Mr Kallidai estimated hundreds of girls had been targeted, with some reports of Muslim boys being offered £5,000 ‘commissions’.
.
The National Union of Students said it did not want to discriminate against Muslims but agreed some extremists were causing concern.
They have managed to infiltrate Brunel University in West London, Bedfordshire University, Sheffield Hallam University and Manchester Metropolitan University, according to a Muslim charity.
Scotland Yard is to set up a Hindu Safety Forum with ‘aggressive conversion’ as its top priority.”
.
And if you thought this was just media sensationalism, read this harrowing story of how a young Hindu girl in UK became the target of a zealous Muslim eager to convert her here and here.

Scary….

    Mohtarma Bhutto condemns gang rape of Hindu women
    Condemns growing lawlessness in Sindh; demands arrest of culprits

    Islamabad February 28, 2007: Former Prime Minister and Chairperson of the Pakistan Peoples Party Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto has condemned the gang rape of Hindu women in village Ghulam Ali Khawar in Larkana tehsil and demanded arrest of the culprits and punishment to them according to the law.

    The gang rape of Hindu women has brought into focus once again the miseries heaped on the minorities and will only bring a bad name to the country the world over, Mohtarma Bhutto said in a statement today.

    On Sunday eight armed people attacked the residence of a Hindu family in village Ghulam Ali Khawar in Larkana Tehsil, held the family at gunpoint, gang raped three women and decamped with loot. Earlier during this month Nasimah Labano in Ghotki was gang raped by criminals followed by another gang rape of another woman Nasima Girgej in the same locality.

    “The lawlessness and anarchy marked by gang rapes, dacoities, murder and robberies in Sindh is growing every day as the regime has abdicated its responsibility due to obsession with getting General Musharraf re-elected from the same assemblies”.

    Mohtarma Bhutto said that it seemed that the regime had hired the criminals and dacoits to carry out its victimization campaign against the people to strike a terror in their hearts during election year.

    She said that gangs of dacoits were roaming free in the province, street crimes had increased manifold and the life and property of citizens was not safe. “The worst thing is that no action is taken even when the victims summon courage to lodge complaints and even identify the extortionists and criminals to the police”.

    She demanded the arrest of the culprits who vandalised the members of the Hindu minority community as well as Nasimah Labano and Nasimah Girgej. She said the Party will raise the issue of deteriorating law and situation in the province and the indifference of the regime at all available forums.

    It may be mentioned that ever since General Musharraf publicly exonerated the rapist of Dr Shazia Khalid and accused Pakistani women of getting themselves raped for dollars and visas the incidents of rape and violence against a women had increased.
