Islam in Kashmir under attack, christians trying to convert muslims into chirtians.Nowadays everyone is aware about christians that they are trying to convert Muslims into christians. Everyday news are coming about such incidents. Today a 15 years boy from Tangmarg, north Kashmir Sajad (Name changed) presented Injeel before some Tableegi Jamaat Members of Tangmarg.
These are the lines that Sajad said”on last thurusday, our neighbouq who is a tourist guide let some unknown foreigners to stay at home at a night as they where his customers. In the next morning they told children to invite their friends and family there because they are going to surprise them. They collected many people there and gave them chocolates, gramants, etc. After that they started speech and said some crazy things like”everbody say There is no Allah. Jesus is God, etc”some illitrate people said it who were present there but i didn’t. They invited me alone to a room when i go there they forced me to accept christianity and gave me chocolate, breslet and a book”Muqadas e Injeel”translated into urdu and told me to read book. I receved by force and went to home when i told my parents they punished me and told me to present it before Moulvi sahib and i did so and recited Kalima again”“in room i asked the names of 4 christian girls, one’s name was”Sungmi kang”and i forgot other three names they that that they were from New york.”he added.
