Muslims Abducting and Forcibly Converting Hindu Women
From Bahrain to Bihar.
By Ashlyn Davis
Rape Hindu women, force them to convert, marry them if you please, abandon them, torture them, blackmail them or kill them — this is a template of how myriads of Hindu women have been tormented by Muslims in India. Heartened by the negligible penalties for their offenses in their home country, these Muslims have taken this pattern of exploiting Hindu women and forcing them to convert to Islam beyond the borders of India.
A Hindu woman was raped by her colleague Saifuddin in Bahrain; the victim is from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The accused is from Karnataka, India. They met at work and had grown friendly, only for the woman to be raped by Saifuddin just a few days after they met. The victim recounted that she had lodged a complaint with the authorities in Bahrain. While investigations were underway, she discovered that she had been impregnated during the rape. Pregnancy, without marriage and out of rape, could result in humiliation and be seen as a social taboo in her culture. Exploiting her situation, Saifuddin and his family coaxed her to marry him, but not before getting her converted to Islam and withdrawing the case in Bahrain. Once she was converted and married to Saifuddin, they sent her to Mumbai, India. In the pretense of visiting a doctor, they got her five-month pregnancy terminated without her consent. They also pressured and tortured her for her dowry, says the victim, who has now filed a complaint against Saifuddin and others in his family in India. While police have accepted the case, Saifuddin remains untraceable as of this writing.
In a similar case reported from Supaul, Bihar in India, Mohammad Nizamuddin and his family members abducted a 22-year-old Hindu girl, compelled her to embrace Islam, and pushed her to marry Nizamuddin on May 10. In the First Information Report, the victim’s mother stated that her daughter had been missing since that day. She has also named Mohammad Nizamuddin’s father, Mohammad Salauddin, his mother Shahjahan, his brothers Mohammad Azharuddin, Waseem Akram, and Mohammad Ziauddin, and his sister, Fehmida Nasreen, as accused in her daughter’s disappearance. Investigations revealed that the 26-year-old Nizamuddin had called the girl to a local Hindu temple, from where she was abducted. While police took Nizamuddin’s father, Mohammad Salauddin, into custody on the night of Tuesday, May 14, six others among the accused are currently at large.
Another horrific case of raping, threatening, and forcing Hindu women to embrace Islam is reported from Madhya Pradesh, India. The victim is a 30-year-old married Hindu model who has repeatedly been raped for two years by her husband’s friend Kashan Sheikh, a native of Srinagar. As per reports, when she resisted the first time, he placed the knife on her infant son’s throat and threatened her, saying, “I have sacrificed many goats. I can also slit your son’s throat with this knife.”
This threat is chilling and reminiscent of the twin murder in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh, India, that occurred during Ramadan this year. A barber, Sajid Khan entered the house of his Hindu neighbor along with his brother, Jawed Khan, on the pretext of asking for financial help. Sajid killed two of their sons, Ayush (12 ) and Ahaan (8). He also injured Yuvraj (10) by slitting her throat. Sajid is also accused of drinking the blood of the children after slaughtering them.
In the present case, Kashan Sheikh not only raped his victim, but also took objectionable pictures and recorded videos of her, which he went on to use to blackmail her for two years. Sheikh also tried to force her to leave her husband and embrace Islam. The victim finally opened up to her husband, and the couple filed a First Information Report late on May 16. The cops police have since taken the accused into custody.
Islamic apologists may want to argue that these disconnected instances have no link with Islam. While all these cases are indeed reported from different places, what links them is the continuous sexual abuse of the “kaffir” women, and the forcing of them to accept Islam. These cases could have been considered isolated crimes, but again — why the push for conversion to Islam? The relentless attempts to convert their prey and mistreat them as maal-e-ghanimat connect all the accused in the three distinct cases reported above, suggesting that they were motivated by religious indoctrination when planning and executing these crimes.
