Saffron and Christian outfits allege Muslim youth from agroup called Love Jihad are marrying non- Muslim girls to convert them. But aKerala Police inquiry rubbishes their claim
MARRIAGES, they say, are made in heaven. But some Muslim fundamentalists are using wedlock to wage jihad ( holy war) and clear their path to paradise, RSS- affiliated outfits and the church in Kerala have claimed.
An organisation called ‘Love Jihad’ or ‘Romeo Jihad’ has enlisted the services of young Muslims to court Hindu and Christian girls, force them into wedlock and convert them to Islam, saffron groups have alleged.
These youths are operating nationwide, receiving funds from abroad and are also linked to drug trafficking and terrorism. Thousands of girls have been converted thus in the past few years, allege outfits such as the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Sri Ram Sene.
But an investigation by Kerala’s director- general of police Jacob Punnose has failed to establish these claims. The DGP recently told the Kerala High Court he had no evidence to show an organisation named Love Jihad or Romeo Jihad had been created, albeit there could be a concerted attempt to force non- Muslim girls to convert after marrying Muslim boys.
Members of the Christian clergy have joined ranks with RSS organisations in warning women against Love Jihad.
They say Jihadi Romeos are also targeting Christian girls (although Islam does not require Christians or Jews to convert for marrying a Muslim). Even so, the church remains quiet about it’s own alleged efforts to force non- Christian girls to convert for marriage.
