Asauddin Owaisi, Muslim Leader In India: Every Person Is Born A Muslim

Here.

This is not his view; this is orhodox Islam. The ungrateful (kuffar) parents then turn their children (trailing those Muslim clouds of glory) into those other, horrible things — Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, Christians, and so on, nurture distorting nature. He does this in a speech, however, where those who were unaware of this doctrine have it brought forcefully to our attention. The speech, which was a denunciation of the (intelligent) new practice by Hindus of attempting to convert Muslims in India back to the Hinduism that was surely what their ancestors practiced (I hesitate to call Hinduism a faith, considering it more like a sea into which you wade, and that is benignly acceptiing of all, even if associated with a particular place, Bharat, India, and “the wonder that was India”), also contains a clear lie: that in Islam there is no forced conversion. What are the wars, what is the terror, what is the choice (given to Ahl al-Kitab, People of the Book, that is Christians and Jews and to the Zoroastrians too, for reasons of state, the Islamic state) given to Hindus, who converted to Islam in order to avoid death or a condition of slavery and misery? No wonder so many did. Was that not “forced conversion”? If a Christian in the Islamic State now converts to Islam, is he not doing what Christians (and Jews) did for 1400 years, whenever they felt that the conditions of live under Islam, as non-Muslims (think of the onerous Jizyah, but also of the hundred sundry ways that non-Muslims were mistreated), and giving a living lesson in history, that ought to be included in lesson plans all over the non-Muslim world?
