Shouldn't they confirm his backstory, he could be making it all up to appear on TV.

All in all, it is becoming a repeating story where Hindu converts come from overzealous Hindu Fundo families. It's a lesson for all religions, the more crazy things you do the lesser followers you'd have.

Many such cases of Muslims converting and Christians converting to other religions is also there in India. You will find it hard to digest but religion is not seen as "religion" in our country.

We see this as multiple ways of reaching one Supreme State. And I can see the underlying finger-pointing in that statement of yours. The same sentence currently applies equally to you right now more than others.

Please don't point indirect fingers at other ways of life and give a bad name to your fellow Muslims.

I m really fed up with these religious debates (are they?) on this forum. What do they achieve?

 

[para-site]

Looking at his arguments I think he is unsure and not confident of any of the two religion as yet....and while he forwards poor arguments against one religion he defends the other poorly....neways good luck2him....

I said "religions" and It hink people who convert away from Islam also usually belong to over zealous families.

We have plenty of examples in India for religious conversion and not every case needs to be discussed. Everyone try to justify his reason of conversion. My wife told me one such story where during her medical study, her junior converted to Christianity from Hinduism to secure a seat (There were some 15% quota for Christians in that minority college).

Other epic case may be A R Rahman (earlier Dileep) who got converted to Islam when her sister was in bad health and he visited one Sufi shrine. Maulana asked him if your sister will become fine "will you believe in existence of Allah and accept Islam?". He did the same.

Listening to this person's tale, I'm reminded of an incident from Marmaduke Pickthall's life, when he first wanted to become a Muslim and visited a wise Maulana of the Great Mosque of Damascus.

It seems to be of some relevance, so I'll quote it here. For those who do not know, Pickthall wrote a widely popular English translation of the Holy Quran, as well as various other books and travelogues on Arabia and North Africa in the declining years of the Ottoman caliphate.

Why, then, did he hold back? Some have thought that the reason was his concern for the feelings of his aged mother, with her own Christian certainties. This was his later explanation:

"The man who did not become a Muslim
when he was nineteen years old because he
was afraid that it would break his mother’s
heart does not exist, I am sorry to say. The
sad fact is that he was anxious to become a
Muslim, forgetting all about his mother. It
was his Muslim teacher—the Shaykh-ul-
Ulema of the great mosque at Damascus
—a noble and benign old man, to whom
he one day mentioned his desire to
become a Muslim, who reminded him of
his duty to his mother and forbade him to
profess Islam until he had consulted her.
“No, my son,” were his words, “wait until
you are older, and have seen again your
native land. You are alone among us as our
boys are alone among the Christians. God
knows how I should feel if any Christian
teacher dealt with a son of mine otherwise
than as I now deal with you.” […] If he had
become a Muslim at that time he would
pretty certainly have repented it—quite
apart from the unhappiness he would have
caused his mother, which would have
made him unhappy—because he had not
thought and learnt enough about religion
to be certain of his faith. It was only the
romance and pageant of the East which
then attracted him. He became a Muslim
in real earnest twenty years after.

Marmaduke Pickthall wrote a marvelous travelogue called "Oriental Adventures" which gives a brilliant peak into life in the far flung provinces of the Ottoman era, in that Khilafat's last few decades. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Muslim history, it's remarkable how even in troubled times the Arabia under the Usmani khilafat sounds remarkably better than the Arabia under the sheikhs installed after the Khilafat's defeat, even from the perspective of Englishmen visiting the area then.
