Here again, “there is no compulsion in religion” (Qur’an 2:256), but Pant could have chosen to die. Hence in the view of his captors, he was not forced to convert to Islam.
“Rajasthan: Hindu man forcefully converted to Islam, was threatened at gunpoint and given electric shocks on resisting,” OpIndia, July 28, 2021:
Nitin Pant, a resident of Uttarakhand was lured on the pretext of money and a job, taken to Rajasthan and forcefully converted to Islam to become Ali Hassan. In yet another case of forceful religious conversion, Pant who landed in Rajasthan’s Bhiwadi in 2010 in search of a job was taken to Mewat by some local Muslims. There he was forced to give up his religion and accept Islam by promising a job and marriage.
When resisted, Pant was beaten up and was threatened with dire consequences. He was also trained to trap Hindu girls and convert them to Islam. Pant was also taken to Muzaffarnagar, from there he was taken to Meerut where Pant was made to sign an affidavit. Eventually, he was made to lodge in a madrasa in Saharanpur’s Umahi village.
pant [sic] is still mortified by the incident, according to Bajrang Dal leader Nipun Bharadwaj.
As per reports, Pant successfully managed to escape from their clutches and approached members of the Hindu organization. He was immediately rehabilitated by the members and brought back to the Hindu-fold by organizing a ghar vapsi program.
Pant who is currently lodged at Saharanpur’s Balaji Ghat narrating his ordeal informed that the accused used to threaten him at gunpoint, beat him up and even give electric shocks when he tried to resist or revolt against conversion….

Absolutely horrifying but the cowardly western media don’t have time or interest for such stories as it goes against the false narrative, that these days everyone has to bow to, of muslims being the victims of other religions’ intolerance.
Nazarene says
Western media is sold and playing totally under Muslims control.
gravenimage says
Not in most cases. This is more “political correctness” and not wanting to appear “Islamophobic” in most instances than actual Islamic control of all media outlets.
PMK says
Whether it’s Islamophobia or political correctness, the result is the same. “Not wanting to appear Islamophobic” is just one facet of political correctness.

Yes, that’s the way to convert people and get more members for this satanically evil thing, islam. Islam is a disgrace to humanity and nothing but a movement for thugs and lowlife scum. Other decent religions would go out and preach and talk to people and those people might freely choose to join the religion or not join it, but not islam, this vile, brutish load of crap. Islam is, in so many ways, totally evil.

tim gallagher says
Thanks for the +1, gravenimage. I’ve read quite a few of these reports of Muslims forcing people to join their evil religion. You have to have an extremely evil mentality to think that behaving in such a way, rather than leaving people to make a free choice about whether to join up or not, is OK. But, then, Islam in endless ways is extraordinarily evil and definitely full of violent thugs and inhumane monsters. .

All grimly true, Tim.

I take my hat off to this guy, ballsy move to escape, given that he would have been butchered if they had caught him, also, keeping his faith in his own religion through the ordeal.
He is a strong man to go through this and I hope he comes out the other side OK.
gravenimage says
Yes–he is brave.
Infidel says
Bad as the BJP is (in terms of how they’ve recently turned more wimpy against aggressive behavior by their opposition), this is how states that are run by their opposition behave. Normally, this state has a proud history of being a bulwork against muslim imperialism – both Turkmen sultanates and Mughals, but under a Congress regime, muslims in that state are seriously emboldened
I congratulate Pant for escaping, doing a ghar-wapsi and exposing his persecutors. Hopefully they can be hunted down like the cattle they slaughtered for their eid ul adha

India: Muslims threaten Hindu at gunpoint, beat him and give him electric shocks for refusing to convert to Islam
…………
Just horrifying. Are Indian authorities going to prosecute the perps–and rescue the Hindu girls?
India is *not* a Muslim country–yet these Muslim savages are emboldened.
Infidel says
That’s the sad thing in India today. W/ the exception of the leaders of 2 states, every state has leaders who are lukewarm to the thuggery of both muslims and the woke leftists. Modi is acting almost like Biden these days: gone are the days when he was as admirable as Trump
gravenimage says
Grimly this is what I have heard, Infidel.
SAFI says
what’s up with India and the apparently rampant “woke leftism” and constant pandering to muslims going on there? I mean honestly I don’t get it, normally India shouldn’t be suffering from ww2 PTSD or various forms of “white guilt” etc that help explain the mess that the west is in. One would expect the non muslim Indians to be “redpilled” with regards to islam given the country’s history
SAFI says
I guess American cultural hegemony and traditionally influential marxist movement are part of the answer of why India is being so lukewarm in its response to muslim thuggery, but I was wondering if there’s something else I’m missing here…
Infidel says
India actually does get influenced by what goes on in the West, particularly the UK and the US. There is an asymmetry in this: the Left, as we know, are globalist, and therefore the Left of one country quickly endorses and embraces the cause célèbres of others, no matter how relevant or irrelevant it is to their own country (since they all believe in one world w/ rainbows and daffodils). Sometimes they twist the cause to suit the local environment – like anti-White in the West became an anti-Brahmin in India, and so on. Of course, muslims are the celebrated victims in all places
The Right, in the meantime, is completely localized for every country, and the Right in India is nothing like the Right in Israel is nothing like the Right in the US. So essentially, we on the Right are more in a guerilla war against the Left, which is like the Borg
I think the jury is still out on whether it’s better for the Right in every part of the world to fight out a guerilla war against this global Left, or try and unite just as the Left has and then take it head-on. Personally, I believe that waging a guerilla war is a better approach than going globalist ourselves
SAFI says
Thanks Infidel, good point about the left’s MO
Del says
Islam is a violent cult, it isn’t even a religion.
gravenimage says
Oh, it’s a religion, all right–just an *evil* religion.
OLD GUY says
One of the problems is that we and the media have become conditioned too these kind of actions from islam. When a muslim committs these kind of crimes or actions we ignore it, because we have become used to it and expect it. It’s becoming the norm and thats dangerous.
James Lincoln says
Very dangerous, OLD GUY.
And that’s part of the strategy…
